PPARD (Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta)

Loading...

Summary of PPARD

PPAR delta is a nuclear hormone receptor that governs a variety of biological processes and may be involved in the development of several chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, and cancer.

PPAR delta may function as an integrator of sorts. PPAR delta helps prevent heart disease (R). PPAR delta is important for hair growth (R). At higher levels,

PPAR delta increases fat burning in muscle and fat cells and increases energy expenditure.  At lower levels, it helps create fat cells (R, R2).

Studies into the role of PPAR´ in cancer have produced contradictory results and there is no scientific consensus on whether it promotes or prevents cancer formation (R).

PPAR´ is involved with the absorption of fat and cholesterol (lipid uptake, such as fatty acid binding protein and fatty acid translocase). Also, it helps the growth of intestinal mucosa in response to fat (R).

PPARD modulates inflammatory responses of macrophages and is linked to a significant rise in HDL cholesterol. PPAR activation in the liver decreases liver glucose output, thereby contributing to improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity (R).

In a meta-analysis, PPAR delta was associated with height (R). PPAR delta is found to be elevated in colorectal cancer cells.

The Function of PPARD

Ligand-activated transcription factor. Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Has a preference for poly-unsaturated fatty acids, such as gamma-linoleic acid and eicosapentanoic acid. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to promoter elements of target genes. Regulates the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Functions as transcription activator for the acyl-CoA oxidase gene. Decreases expression of NPC1L1 once activated by a ligand.

Advanced Summary

Read: PPAR Delta Genes: Burn Fat and Become an Endurance Athlete.

PPAR delta decreases inflammatory cytokines such as TNF  and macrophage-related inflammation (R). PPAR´ helps prevent TNF-induced apoptosis in skin cells (R). PPAR delta is a potent inhibitor of activation of PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma (R).

Treatment of obese animals by PPAR´ activators results in normalization of metabolism and a reduction of body bat.  PPAR´ also can increase fat cells when on a high fat diet by stimulating preadipocyte proliferation and by controlling the induction of PPAR gamma (R).

The nuclear receptor increases the fatty acid burning capacities of muscle and fat tissue by controlling the expression of genes involved in fatty acid uptake, ²-oxidation, and energy uncoupling (R).

PPAR delta increases production of PGC-1a and TGF-beta (R). PPAR delta potentiates PPAR gamma fat cell production (R).
