Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor agonists delays the formation of arteriosclerosis / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors(PPARs)are ligand activated transcriptional factors and belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily.PPARs play important roles in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism,energy homeostasis,cell proliferation,differentiation and reproduction.Furthermore,PPARs agonists were closely correlated to atherosclerosis and involved in delaying the formation of atherosclerosis.
