PPARs and the cardiovascular system.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the nuclear hormone-receptor superfamily. Originally cloned in 1990, PPARs were found to be mediators of pharmacologic agents that induce hepatocyte peroxisome proliferation. PPARs also are expressed in cells of the cardiovascular system. PPAR gamma appears to be highly expressed during atherosclerotic lesion formation, suggesting th...
متن کاملPPARs/RXRs in Cardiovascular Physiology and Disease
The PPAR family of nuclear receptor transcription factors are important regulators of cardiovascular function and metabolism. Because of this, PPARs are potentially interesting pharmacologic targets for treating cardiometabolic disease. The reviews in this series discuss the regulatory functions of PPARs in maintaining metabolic and physiologic homeostasis in a variety of cells and tissues. Add...
متن کاملEffects of Benzimidazole derivatives on digestive system and cardiovascular system
One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...
متن کاملPPARs Signaling and Cancer in the Gastrointestinal System
Nowadays, the study of the peroxisome proliferators activated receptors (PPARs) as potential targets for cancer prevention and therapy has gained a strong interest. From a biological point of view, the overall responsibility of PPARs in cancer development and progression is still controversial since several studies report both antiproliferative and tumor-promoting actions for these signaling mo...
متن کاملThe effect of glutaminergic system on cardiovascular regulation of rat
Introduction: The bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST) is a part of the limbic system, which plays a role in regulation of heart beat and blood circulation. It was recently shown that microinjection of L-glutamate in the BST elicits cardiovascular depressive, but the role of glutamate receptor subtypes has not been investigated yet. In this study, the role of glutamate receptor subgroups in regul...
