PPAR-alpha gene expression in buffy coat white cells, real-time PCR 2^-ddCt
increases
Not recorded as a finding: no outcome node for leukocyte gene expression
Moreover, the gene expressions of PPAR‐α according to 2−∆∆Ct calculation were significantly increased in the TB group compared to the placebo, even after adjusting for confounders (p < 0.001).
