Abstract:
The peroxisome prolifrator-activated receptors(PPARs)? and ? constitute a subfamily of nuclear receptors. PPAR? has been shown to be activat ed by the hypolipidemic drugs of the fibrate class; While the antidiabetic TZD a re synthetic ligands for PPAR?. Upon binding and activation by their ligands, t hey regulate the transcription of numerous genes involving lipid metabolism and insulin resistance. The research indicated that PPAR? also plays a key role in lipid metabolism. PPARs therefore constitute interesting targets for the develop ment of single and dual agonists useful in the treatment of obesity and type 2 d iabetes.
