Cannabinoid activation of peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptors: an update and review of the physiological relevance
Since 2002, evidence has been building that cannabinoids, including endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-like compounds, phytocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoid ligands, bind to and activate the different isoforms of the nuclear receptors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs; α, β, and γ ). This has been shown through the use of reporter gene assays, binding studies, the use ...
متن کاملPeroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors as physiological sensors of fatty acid metabolism: molecular regulation in peroxisomes.
The enzymes required for the beta-oxidation of fatty acyl-CoA are present in peroxisomes and mitochondria. Administration of hypolipidaemic compounds such as clofibrate to rodents leads to an increase in the volume and density of peroxisomes in liver cells. These proliferators also induce simultaneously the expression of genes encoding acyl-CoA oxidase, enoyl-CoA hydratase-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehyd...
متن کاملMolecular Recognition of Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins by Cucurbit[n]uril Receptors
At the forefront of the endeavor to understand and manipulate living systems is the design and study of receptors that bind with high affinity and selectivity to specific amino acids, peptides, and proteins. Cucurbit[n]urils are among the most promising class of synthetic receptors for these targets due to their high affinities and selectivites in aqueous media and to the unique combination of ...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of Toll-like receptors by fatty acids: preferential inhibition by n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Human subjects consuming fish oil showed a significant suppression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in blood monocytes when stimulated in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an agonist for Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Results with a murine monocytic cell line (RAW 264.7) stably transfected with COX-2 promoter reporter gene also demonstrated that LPS-induced COX-2 expression was preferent...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors Associated with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Concurrent to an increase in NAFLD prevalence, there is an increase in the obesity epidemic and the correlated insulin-resistant state. It is a challenge to diagnose NAFLD because many patients are asymptomatic until the later stages of disease. The most common symptoms include fatigue...
