Hypothermia Protects against Ischemic Stroke through Peroxisome-Proliferator-Activated-Receptor Gamma. [PDF]
Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a global public health burden and requires novel strategies. Hypothermia plays a beneficial role in central nervous system diseases. However, the role of hypothermia in IS has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we determined the role of hypothermia in IS and explored its underlying mechanisms.

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 ...

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor .GAMMA. and Cardiovascular Diseases
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily and form heterodimers with retinoid X receptor. Three PPAR isoforms have been isolated and termed alpha, beta (or delta) and gamma. Although PPARgamma is expressed predominantly in adipose tissue and associated with adipocyte differentiation and glucose ...

CRTC1/MAML2 directs a PGC-1α-IGF-1 circuit that confers vulnerability to PPARγ inhibition
Summary: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a life-threatening salivary gland cancer that is driven primarily by a transcriptional coactivator fusion composed of cyclic AMP-regulated transcriptional coactivator 1 (CRTC1) and mastermind-like 2 (MAML2). The

Stimulation of Alpha-1-Adrenergic Receptor Ameliorates Obesity-Induced Cataracts by Activating Glycolysis and Inhibiting Cataract-Inducing Factors [PDF]
Background Obesity, the prevalence of which is increasing due to the lack of exercise and increased consumption of Westernized diets, induces various complications, including ophthalmic diseases. For example, obesity is involved in the onset of cataracts.

Defining a conformational ensemble that directs activation of PPARγ
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor. Here the authors provide insights into PPARγ activation by combining fluorine (19F) NMR and molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the nuclear receptor conformational
