Multifaceted roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) at the cellular and whole organism levels.
Chronic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, inflammation, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis, are related to alterations in lipid and glucose metabolism, in which peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR)α, PPARβ/δ and PPARγ are involved. These receptors form a subgroup of ligand-activated transcription factors that belong to the nuclear hormone receptor family. Th...
متن کاملPivotal Roles of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) and Their Signal Cascade for Cellular and Whole-Body Energy Homeostasis.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, are important in whole-body energy metabolism. PPARs are classified into three isoforms, namely, PPARα, β/δ, and γ. They are collectively involved in fatty acid oxidation, as well as glucose and lipid metabolism throughout the body. Importantly, the three isoforms of PPARs have complementary and di...
متن کاملDownregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in nasal polyposis
BACKGROUND Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha, betadelta and gamma are nuclear receptors activated by fatty acid metabolites. An anti-inflammatory role for these receptors in airway inflammation has been suggested. METHODS Nasal biopsies were obtained from 10 healthy volunteers and 10 patients with symptomatic allergic rhinitis. Nasal polyps were obtained from 22 patients...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs): Choreographers of Metabolic Gene Transcription
Nuclear receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to small lipophilic compounds such as testosterone [androgen receptor (AR)], oxysterols [liver X receptor (LXR)], estrogen (ER), xenobiotics [pregnane X receptor (PXR)], retinoic acid (RAR), thyroid hormone (TR), bile acids [farnesoid X receptor (FXR)] and vitamin D (VDR). The peroxisome proli...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the ligand-activated nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors that includes receptors for steroids, thyroid hormone, retinoic acid, and vitamin D. Upon activation in the cytoplasm, PPARs heterodimerize with retinoid X receptors (RXR) and form a complex that translocates to the nucleus and regulates gene expr...
