Journal ArticleDOI

Bile Acids: Natural Ligands for an Orphan Nuclear Receptor

TL;DR: Results provide evidence for a nuclear bile acid signaling pathway that may regulate cholesterol homeostasis and modulated interaction of FXR with a peptide derived from steroid receptor coactivator 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Recognition of Fatty Acids by Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptors

TL;DR: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors for fatty acids (FAs) that regulate glucose and lipid homeostasis as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orphan Nuclear Receptors Constitutive Androstane Receptor and Pregnane X Receptor Share Xenobiotic and Steroid Ligands

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that several of the compounds that regulate mouse and human CAR, including natural steroids, bind directly to the receptors and suggest that CAR, like PXR, is a steroid receptor that is capable of recognizing structurally diverse compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional consequences of cysteine modification in the ligand binding sites of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors by GW9662.

TL;DR: The selective and irreversible nature of GW9662 treatment, and the observation that activity is maintained in cell culture experiments, suggests that this compound may be a useful tool for elucidation of the role of PPARgamma in biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conjugated linoleic acid is a potent naturally occurring ligand and activator of PPARα

TL;DR: CLA is a high affinity ligand and activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) and induces accumulation of PPAR-responsive mRNAs in a rat hepatoma cell line and its effects on lipid metabolism may be attributed to transcriptional events associated with this nuclear receptor.
