From molecular action to physiological outputs: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors are nuclear receptors at the crossroads of key cellular functions

TLDR
The molecular mechanisms through which PPARs regulate transcription are thoroughly addressed with particular emphasis on the latest results on corepressor and coactivator action and how the integration of various intra-cellular signaling pathways allowsPPARs to participate to whole-body homeostasis by mediating regulatory crosstalks between organs.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and their ligands: nutritional and clinical implications - a review

TL;DR: A current understanding of the effects of PPARs, their molecular mechanisms and the role of these receptors in nutrition and therapeutic treatment are delineated in this paper.

Endocrine Disruptors: From Endocrine to Metabolic Disruption

TL;DR: This work reviews the main chemical compounds that may contribute to metabolic disruption and discusses the difficulties of fairly assessing the risks linked to EDC exposure, including developmental exposure, problems of high- and low-dose exposure, and the complexity of current chemical environments.

Specific SIRT1 Activation Mimics Low Energy Levels and Protects against Diet-Induced Metabolic Disorders by Enhancing Fat Oxidation

TL;DR: The metabolic phenotype of mice treated with SRT1720, a specific and potent synthetic activator of SIRT1 that is devoid of direct action on AMPK that robustly enhances endurance running performance and strongly protects from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance by enhancing oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle, liver, and brown adipose tissue is reported.

Peroxisomes and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: The role of PPARalpha, which is highly activated in PEX5-/- mice with the absence of functional peroxisomes severe abnormalities of mitochondria in different organs are observed which resemble closely those in respiratory chain disorders associated with oxidative stress.

Recent insights into hepatic lipid metabolism in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

TL;DR: This work will review available data on different steps of hepatic lipid metabolism in NAFLD and recent advances in understanding molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic fat accumulation in these subjects.

Translating the Histone Code

TL;DR: It is proposed that this epigenetic marking system represents a fundamental regulatory mechanism that has an impact on most, if not all, chromatin-templated processes, with far-reaching consequences for cell fate decisions and both normal and pathological development.

The Ubiquitin System

TL;DR: This review discusses recent information on functions and mechanisms of the ubiquitin system and focuses on what the authors know, and would like to know, about the mode of action of ubi...

A cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors linked to adaptive thermogenesis.

TL;DR: Results indicate that PGC-1 plays a key role in linking nuclear receptors to the transcriptional program of adaptive thermogenesis.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma is a negative regulator of macrophage activation

TL;DR: It is shown that PPAR-γ is markedly upregulated in activated macrophages and inhibits the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase, gelatinase B and scavenger receptor A genes in response to 15d-PGJ2 and synthetic PPar-γ ligands, suggesting that PPARS and locally produced prostaglandin D2 metabolites are involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses.

Stimulation of adipogenesis in fibroblasts by PPAR gamma 2, a lipid-activated transcription factor.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the physiologic role of PPAR gamma 2 is to regulate development of the adipose lineage in response to endogenous lipid activators and that this factor may serve to link the process of adipocyte differentiation to systemic lipid metabolism.
