1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand activated transcription factors that belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily.1, 2 PPARs regulate gene transcription by heterodimerising with retinoic X receptors and binding to DNA sequences, termed PPAR response elements (PPRE), in the promoters of target genes.2, 3 Three different PPAR genes (α, δ/β, and γ), each displaying distinct tissue and...
