Ppar Signaling

PPAR (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor) Signaling is a process through which cell functions are regulated, especially those related to metabolism and inflammation. It involves the activation of a special class of proteins called PPARs, which are located in the cell membrane and can be activated by a variety of substances, including fatty acids and other molecules. When activated, PPARs can perform various functions, such as regulating genes involved in lipids metabolism, inflammation, cell survival and differentiation. This signaling pathway is important for many physiological processes and its dysregulation has been linked to several diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, metabolic disorders and cardiometabolic disorders. Thus, the study of PPAR signaling is essential to develop novel therapeutic strategies and drugs to treat these diseases.
