28 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARalpha, PPARbeta/delta and PPARgamma) are a family of nuclear receptors that are activated by binding of natural ligands, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids or by synthetic ligands. Synthetic molecules of the glitazone family, which bind to PPARgamma, are currently used to treat type II diabetes and also to attenuate the secondary clinical symptoms frequently...
