The diabetes medication canagliflozin (Cana) is a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor acting by increasing urinary glucose excretion and thus reducing hyperglycaemia. Cana treatment also reduces body weight.

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) down-regulation in cystic fibrosis lymphocytes [PDF]
Background: PPARs exhibit anti-inflammatory capacities and are potential modulators of the inflammatory response. We hypothesized that their expression and/or function may be altered in cystic fibrosis (CF), a disorder characterized by an excessive host ...

Role of Esrrg in the Fibrate-Mediated Regulation of Lipid Metabolism Genes in Human ApoA-I Transgenic Mice [PDF]
We have used a new ApoA-I transgenic mouse model to identify by global gene expression profiling, candidate genes that affect lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in response to fenofibrate treatment.

A role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the immunopathology of schistosomiasis? [PDF]
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been demonstrated to have a role in immune regulation. In general, they are anti-inflammatory and promote Th2 type responses, and they are associated with the alternative activation of macrophages.

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Targeted Therapies: Challenges upon Infectious Diseases
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) α, β, and γ are nuclear receptors that orchestrate the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in a variety of biological responses, such as energy metabolism and homeostasis, regulation of ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α-independent peroxisome proliferation [PDF]
Hepatic peroxisome proliferation, increases in the numerical and volume density of peroxisomes, is believed to be closely related to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) activation; however, it remains unknown whether peroxisome proliferation depends absolutely on this activation.

PPARα contributes to protection against metabolic and inflammatory derangements associated with acute kidney injury in experimental sepsis [PDF]
Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant problem in critically ill children and adults resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Fundamental mechanisms contributing to sepsis‐associated AKI are poorly understood.
