Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of nuclear hormone receptor superfamily comprising of the following three subtypes: PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARβ/δ. Activation of PPAR-α reduces triglyceride level and is involved in regulation of energy homeostasis. Activation of PPAR-γ causes insulin sensitization and enhances glucose metabolism, whereas activation of PPAR-β/δ enhances fatty acids metabolism. Thus, PPAR family of nuclear receptors plays a major regulatory role in energy homeostasis and metabolic function. The present review critically analyzes the protective and detrimental effect of PPAR agonists in dyslipidemia, diabetes, adipocyte differentiation, inflammation, cancer, lung diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, fertility or reproduction, pain, and obesity.
过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARs)是核激素受体超家族的配体激活转录因子,包括以下三种亚型:PPARα、PPARγ和PPARβ/δ。PPAR-α的激活可降低甘油三酯水平,并参与能量稳态的调节。PPAR-γ的激活可导致胰岛素敏感性增加并增强葡萄糖代谢,而PPAR-β/δ的激活则可增强脂肪酸代谢。因此,核受体PPAR家族在能量稳态和代谢功能中起主要调节作用。本综述批判性地分析了PPAR激动剂在血脂异常、糖尿病、脂肪细胞分化、炎症、癌症、肺部疾病、神经退行性疾病、生育或生殖、疼痛和肥胖中的保护作用和有害作用。
