Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors that heterodimerize with the retinoid X receptor and modulate functions of many target genes. Three PPARs, α, β/δ, and γ, have been demonstrated. PPARα is involved in fatty acid oxidation and expressed in liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle; PPARβ/δ is ubiquitous and regulates lipid metabolism; and PPARγ plays a role in fat cell differentiation, lipid storage, and insulin sensitivity.1 PPARs are present in cardiovascular tissues, including the endothelium, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, and the heart.2–4 Fibrates (hypolipemic agents) and fatty acids activate PPARα, and thiazolidinediones or glitazones (antidiabetic drugs) stimulate PPARγ.5 However, the endogenous ligands of PPARs remain unknown.
PPARα and PPARγ have increasingly been demonstrated to exert cardiovascular protective effects, independent of their metabolic actions.3,4 Whereas metabolic effects of PPARs are mediated by activation of a PPAR-responsive element present in the promoter region of different genes, the cardiovascular protective actions may result from anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions mediated by transrepression of proinflammatory and pro-oxidant …
