Mode of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activation by luteolin.
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a target for treatment of type II diabetes and other conditions. PPARγ full agonists, such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs), are effective insulin sensitizers and anti-inflammatory agents, but their use is limited by adverse side effects. Luteolin is a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory actions that binds PPARγ but, unlike TZDs, does not pro...
متن کاملEffect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ on inflammatory markers
Introduction In a recent study published in “ARYA atherosclerosis,” Pourmoghaddas et al. reported that administration of pioglitzone in non-diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome had no positive effect on inflammatory markers including high sensitive C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).1 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligan...
متن کاملRole of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ in Vascular Inflammation
Vascular inflammation plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis, and its regulation is important to prevent cerebrovascular and coronary artery disease. The inflammatory process in atherogenesis involves a variety of immune cells including monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, which all express peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). PPAR-γ is a nucl...
متن کاملRole of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ in Ocular Diseases
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays an important role in the control of a variety of physiological processes. The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest for the role played by the agonists of PPAR γ in antiangiogenesis, antifibrosis, anti-inflammation effects and in c...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ protects against vascular aging.
Vascular disease occurs commonly during aging. Carotid artery and cerebrovascular disease are major causes of stroke and contributors to dementia. Recent evidence suggests that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) may play a protective role in the vasculature, but the potential importance of PPARγ in vascular aging is unknown. To examine the hypothesis that PPARγ normally protec...
