Deskripsi

Intestinal surface changes in size and function, but what propels these alterations is unknown. Here, the authors show that food excess increases the gut absorptive capacity, and that in presence of dietary lipids, intestinal PPARα is indispensable for the adaptive increase in villi length and function.
