title: Regulation of gene expression by fatty acids.
abstract: Long-chain fatty acids regulate the transcription of several genes encoding proteins involved in energetic metabolism. This review discusses the relative contribution of free fatty acids or their coenzyme A ester as metabolite signals and the possibility that the control of gene transcription could be independent of the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors.
