The Renoprotective Actions of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors Agonists in Diabetes
Pharmaceutical agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are widely used in the management of type 2 diabetes, chiefly as lipid-lowering agents and oral hypoglycaemic agents. Although most of the focus has been placed on their cardiovascular effects, both positive and negative, these agents also have significant renoprotective actions in the diabetic kidney. Over and above...
متن کاملIn Vivo Actions of Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptors
Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptors (PPARs) form a family of nuclear hormone receptors involved in energy hemostasis and lipid metabolism (1,2) and include three isotypes encoded by different genes: PPARa (chromosome22q12–13.1), PPARb/d (chromosome 6p21.2–21.1), and PPARg (chromosome 3p25). PPARa was the first discovered and causes cellular peroxisome proliferation in rodent livers (3),...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the ligand-activated nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors that includes receptors for steroids, thyroid hormone, retinoic acid, and vitamin D. Upon activation in the cytoplasm, PPARs heterodimerize with retinoid X receptors (RXR) and form a complex that translocates to the nucleus and regulates gene expr...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptors mediate pleiotropic actions of statins.
High plasma concentrations of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) are a major risk factor for atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large arteries. Statins are potent inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis which efficiently decrease plasma LDL-c concentrations. A large number of clinical trials has shown beneficial effects of statins in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascula...
متن کاملInvolvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the estradiol production of ovine Sertoli cells
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors of transcription factors composed of three family members: PPARα, PPARβ/δ and PPARγ. This study was aimed to evaluate the role of PPARs in the estradiol production via follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the ovine Sertoli cells. At the first step, transcripts of PPARα, PPARβ /δ and PPARγ were evaluated by quantitative r...
