Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear and transcriptional modulators with crucial functions in hepatic whole-body energy homeostasis. Besides their well-documented roles lipid glucose metabolism, emerging evidence also implicate PPARs the control of other processes such as inflammatory responses. Recent technological advances, single-cell RNA sequencing, have allowed t...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors that regulate gene transcription in response to peroxisome proliferators and fatty acids. PPARs also play an important role in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation. It is unclear, however, what naturally occurring compounds activate each of the PPAR subtypes. To address this issue, a screening assay was est...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors, initially described as molecular targets for synthetic compounds inducing peroxisome proliferation. PPAR, the best characterized of the PPARs, plays a crucial role in adipogenesis and insulin sensitization. Furthermore, PPARhas been reported to affect cell proliferation/ differentiation pathways in various malign...

Extrapulmonary pathology significantly impairs clinical outcome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are implicated in the regulation of several hallmarks of systemic COPD pathology, including cachexia, decreased oxidative muscle metabolism, oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Recently, expression of PPARs and related c...

Peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors including PPARα, PPARδ and PPARγ, which play an important role in regulating cancer cell proliferation, survival, apoptosis, and tumor growth. Activation of PPARs by endogenous or synthetic compounds regulates tumor progression in various tissues. Although each PPAR isotype suppresses or promotes tumor development...

Solution- and solid-phase methods for the preparation of peptide-substituted thiazolidinediones have been developed as an approach towards the preparation of a library of these compounds as potential ligands for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs).
