The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) quickly evolved over the last decade from a new orphan receptor to one of the best characterized nuclear receptors. This fast pace in PPARgamma research was triggered by two main discoveries. ...
Members of the nuclear receptor family are involved in an increasing number of processes in the cell. These receptors can directly regulate gene expression by binding to DNA. The molecular basis for transcriptional activation is so far not well understood. ...
The three types of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), termed alpha, delta (or beta), and gamma, belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Although peroxisome proliferators, including fibrates and fatty acids, activate the transcriptional ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors and have been initially described as molecular targets for compounds which induce peroxisome proliferation. The interest of researchers for PPARs increased dramatically when these re ...
The peroxisome proliferator activated receptors or PPARs constitute a subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors. PPARs form heterodimeric complexes with the 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (RXR), which bind to specific res ...
The hypolipidemic fibrates and antidiabetic thiazolidinediones display potent triglyceride-lowering activities. Studies on the molecular action mechanisms of these compounds indicate that thiazolidinediones and fibrates exert their action by activating dis ...
The three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), PPAR alpha, delta and gamma, form a subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor gene family. PPAR alpha has been shown to bind and be activated by leukotriene B4 and fibrates, whereas prostagland ...
The development of atherosclerosis is often associated with altered concentrations of systemic lipoproteins, which are determined by the concentration and/or activity of three groups of different proteins, i.e. apolipoproteins (apo), enzymes, and receptors ...
The three types of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR), alpha, beta (or delta), and gamma, each with a specific tissue distribution, compose a subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor gene family. Although peroxisome proliferators, including ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors that can be activated by fatty acids and peroxisome proliferators. The PPAR alpha subtype mediates the pleiotropic effects of these activators in liver and regulates several ...
