Specificity in the action of hypolipidemic drugs: increase of peroxisomal beta-oxidation largely dissociated from hepatomegaly and peroxisome proliferation in the rat.

Hypolipidemic drugs increased 3- to 4-fold the activity of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation system in rat liver, with modest or no effects on catalase activity, liver weight, or peroxisome abundance. This specificity of action was observed in two experimental models: 1) bezafibrate treatment of male r...
