Biological Rationale for the Use of PPARγ Agonists in Glioblastoma [PDF]
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary intrinsic central nervous system tumor and has an extremely poor overall survival with only 10% patients being alive after 5 years. There has been interesting preliminary evidence suggesting that diabetic patients receiving peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists, a ...

Oleuropein (OLE), a main constituent of olive, displays a pleiotropic beneficial dynamic in health and disease, based mainly on its antioxidant and hypolipidemic properties, and its capacity to protect myocardium during ischemia. Furthermore, OLE activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα) in neurons and astrocytes, providing

PPARβ/δ and PPARγ maintain undifferentiated phenotypes of mouse adult neural precursor cells from the subventricular zone [PDF]
The subventricular zone (SVZ) is one of the main niches of neural stem cells in the adult mammalian brain. Stem and precursor cells in this region are the source for neurogenesis and oligodendrogesis, mainly in the olfactory bulb and corpus callosum, respectively.

PPARγ signaling is required for mediating EETs protective effects in neonatal cardiomyocytes exposed to LPS [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a bacterial wall endotoxin producing many pathophysiological conditions including myocardial inflammation leading to cardiotoxicity. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are biologically active metabolites of arachidonic acids capable of activating protective cellular pathways in response to stress stimuli. EETs evoke a plethora

Sinapic acid prevents adipogenesis by regulating transcription factors and exerts an anti-ROS effect by modifying the intracellular anti-oxidant system in 3T3-L1 adipocytes [PDF]
Objective(s): In this study, we tested the hypothesis that sinapic acid (SA), a naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid found in vegetables, cereal grains, and oilseed crops with various biological activities suppresses adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Rice consumption and predisposition to metabolic diseases: The role of PPARγ and GLUT4 dysregulation
Metabolic diseases of significant dietary cause have been multiplying since the climax of the Industrial Revolution and are approaching pandemic proportions. Diet has been promulgated as a cornerstone in tackling these diseases. Understanding the long-term molecular modulatory functions of a diet on key metabolic pathways associated with the ...

Localization of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) in cells expressing the Ca2+-binding proteins calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the adult rat hippocampus [PDF]
The N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and palmithylethanolamide (PEA) are known to be endogenous ligands of PPARα receptors, and their presence requires the activation of a specific phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) associated with intracellular Ca(2+) fluxes.

Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) causes activation and dysfunction of endothelial cells through NFκB activation after binding process of ox-LDL to LOX-1. One of ox-LDL components had been known as the activator of PPARγ. This study was done to see the effect of ox-LDL on NFκB and PPARγactivation and apoptosis of HUVEC’s culture.
