BasicmechanismofactionofPPARa,PPARb(d)andPPARgandeffects

Similar to other nuclear hormone receptores, PPAR acts as a ligand activated transcription factor. Upon binding fatty acids or hypolipidemic drugs, PPARa interacts with RXR and regulates the expression of target genes. These genes are involved in the catabolism of fatty acids. Conversely, PPARg is activated by prostaglandins, leukotrienes and anti-diabetic thiazolidinediones and affects the expression of genes involv......阅读全文
