Title: Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors and Atherosclerosis
Abstract: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPARs) belong to the superfamily of nuclear receptors which are ligand-activated transcription factors.PPAR agonists are likely to exert their antiatherosclerotic properties by multiple mechanisms,including improving systemic lipid levels,improving insulin resistance,and inhibiting the accumulation of macrophage foam cells.
