Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2002
An exciting and rapidly evolving area in vascular biology and atherosclerosis research over the past 3 years has been the establishment of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) expression in the vascular and inflammatory cells, and the emerging picture of the roles these ligand-activated nuclear receptor/transcription factors might play in ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1997
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors are a family of three ligand-activated transcription factors. Fibrate antihyperlipidemic drugs and thiazolidinedione antihyperglycemic drugs were recently identified as synthetic ligands for these receptors. In addition, certain unsaturated fatty acids and eicosanoids were shown to bind the receptors, and

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and angiogenesis

Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of three nuclear receptor isoforms, PPARalpha, PPARgamma and PPARdelta, encoded by different genes, and they form a subfamily of the nuclear receptor superfamily. The clinical interest in PPARs originates with fibrates and thiazolidinediones, which, respectively, act on PPARalpha and ...

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors and Atherosclerosis

Angiology, 2011
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) represent the family of 3 nuclear receptor isoforms-PPARα, -γ, and -δ/β, which are encoded by different genes. As lipid sensors, they are primarily involved in regulation of lipid metabolism and subsequently in inflammation and atherosclerosis.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and inflammation

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2006
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptors family. PPARs are a family of 3 ligand-activated transcription factors: PPARalpha (NR1C1), PPARbeta/delta (NUC1; NR1C2), and PPARgamma (NR1C3). PPARalpha, -beta/delta, and -gamma are encoded by different genes but show substantial amino acid similarity ...

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Cannabinoids

2017
Cannabinoids are a complex group of molecules that comprise phytocannabinoids, endocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids. Cannabinoids were initially identified by its ability to bind and activate the classical cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2.

Peroxisomes in cardiomyocytes and the peroxisome / peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-loop

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2015
SummaryIt is well established that the heart is strongly dependent on fatty acid metabolism. In cardiomyocytes there are two distinct sites for the β-oxidisation of fatty acids: the mitochondrion and the peroxisome. Although the metabolism of these two organelles is believed to be tightly coupled, the nature of this relationship has not been fully ...

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor agonists

2000
The peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) represent a group of ligand-activated transcription factors that mediate the biological effects of various drugs, such as fibrates and thiazolidinediones. Three PPAR subtypes can be distinguished, alpha, beta and gamma, each of which has an unique pattern of expression among vertebrate tissues ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists and antagonists: a patent review (2014-present)

Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents, 2019
Introduction: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), PPARα, PPARδ, and PPARγ, play an important role in the regulation of various physiological processes, specifically lipid and energy metabolism and immunity.

Regulation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors

1998
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the selected aspects of the current understanding about the workings of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and how they are regulated. The members of the nuclear receptor family regulate different aspects of development, differentiation, growth, homeostasis, and metabolism in the cell.
