Abstract

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) are nuclear receptors acting as transcription factors on numerous target genes after heterodimerization with the retinoid X receptor. PPAR-α and PPAR-γ may be activated by different agonists, although the endogenous ligands are unknown. Although PPAR-α is mainly involved in fatty acid oxidation and expressed in liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle, and PPAR-γ is mainly involved in fat cell differentiation and insulin sensitivity, both are expressed in smooth muscle cells and myocardium, although PPAR-γ are scarce in the latter. Activators of PPAR-α such as fatty acids and fibrates, and PPAR-γ such as thiazolidinediones have been shown to exert antiproliferative effects, antagonize angiotensin II actions in vivo and in vitro, and exert antioxidant actions inhibiting generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of inflammatory mediators on blood vessels and the heart. These agents lowered blood pressure in several models of hypertension and corrected endothelial dysfunction. They exerted anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic actions on blood vessels and the heart. With the development of dual α/γ-PPAR activators, these newer agents may become interesting therapeutic agents for prevention of vascular and cardiac complications of hypertension as well as for preventative therapy in other forms of cardiovascular disease.

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.
