PPAR-gamma/RXR heterodimers play a key regulatory role in murine placental development. We report here that PPAR-gamma and RXR-alpha are highly expressed in cultured primary extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVCT) isolated from human first-trimester placenta. ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors, initially described as molecular targets for synthetic compounds that induce peroxisome proliferation. PPARgamma is the best characterized of the PPARs. The heterodimer of P ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors, initially described as molecular targets for synthetic compounds inducing peroxisome proliferation. PPAR-gamma, the best characterized of the PPARs, plays a crucial role in ...
FMOC-L-Leucine (F-L-Leu) is a chemically distinct PPARgamma ligand. Two molecules of F-L-Leu bind to the ligand binding domain of a single PPARgamma molecule, making its mode of receptor interaction distinct from that of other nuclear receptor ligands. F-L ...
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is nuclear receptor that controls the expression of a large number of genes involved in adipocyte differentiation, lipid storage and insulin sensitization. PPARgamma is bound and activated by ...
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Thiazolidinediones are new oral antidiabetic drugs that activate the nuclear receptor PPARgamma. Our aim was to identify potential target genes of PPARgamma in the human adipocyte in order to clarify how thiazolidinediones improve insulin ...
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is highly expressed in the colon mucosa and its activation has been reported to protect against colitis. We studied the involvement of PPARgamma and its heterodimeric partner, the retinoid X ...
The intracellular fatty acid content of insulin-sensitive target tissues determines in part their insulin sensitivity. Uptake of fatty acids into cells is a controlled process determined in part by a regulated import/export system that is controlled at lea ...
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma is a nuclear hormone receptor playing a crucial role in adipogenesis and insulin sensitization. Prostaglandin J2 derivatives and the antidiabetic thiazolidinediones are its respective natural and synthet ...
A common feature of many metabolic pathways is their control by retinoid X receptor (RXR) heterodimers. Dysregulation of such metabolic pathways can lead to the development of atherosclerosis, a disease influenced by both systemic and local factors. Here w ...
