Bioinformatic analyses of PPARα in mammals. The y-axis in (A) represents the ratios of the number of PPARα potential target genes to the number of all genes of different animals. The small open rectangle indicates the threshold setting (5 x 10−7) for the matrix scan. The scores in (B) indicate the binding affinity of PPARα to its target genes in different animals. Blue and pink boxes indicate data calculated from 16 hibernating species (H) and 48 non-hibernating species (N) of mammals. Each dot represents the mean value obtained from each mammalian species. The box plot shows the median, 25/75 percentiles (box), and 10/90 percentiles (bars). A P value < 0.05 is considered significant
