Abstract

The biology of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) in physiological and pathophysiological processes has been primarily studied in peripherial organs and tissues. Recently it became clear that PPARs play an important role for the pathogenesis of various disorders of the CNS. The finding that activation of PPARs, and in particular, the PPARgamma isoform, suppresses inflammation in peripherial macrophages and in models of human autoimmune disease, instigated the experimental evaluation of these salutary actions for several CNS disorders that have an inflammatory component. Activation of all PPAR isoforms, but especially of PPARgamma, has been found to be protective in murine in vitro and in vivo models of Multiple Sclerosis. The verification of these findings in human cells prompted the initiation of clinical studies evaluating PPARgamma activation in Multiple Sclerosis patients. Likewise, Alzheimer's disease has a prominent inflammatory component that arises in response to neurodegeneration and to extracellular deposition of beta-amyloid peptides. The fact that non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) delay the onset and reduce the risk to develop Alzheimer's disease, while they also bind to and activate PPARgamma, led to the hypothesis that one dimension of NSAID protection in AD may be mediated by PPARgamma. Several lines of evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies have supported this hypothesis, using Alzheimer disease related transgenic cellular and…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
