Abstract excerpt
The three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subtypes alpha, delta (beta), and gamma belong to the group of nuclear receptors that act as ligand-activated transcription factors. Recently, expression of PPAR alpha and gamma in keratinocytes has been demonstrated, and ligands of PPAR alpha and gamma have been found to enhance epidermal maturation and protect against cutaneous inflammation. There is...
