Lipids, Inflammation and Pathology of the Human: Role of Peroxisome Prolifera tor-Activated Receptors (Literature Review)
Journal Title: Міжнародний ендокринологічний журнал - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 53
Abstract
Chronic systemic indolent uncontrolled inflammation is the basis for the development of many chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis and its ischemic complications, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hepatosteatosis and many others. Lipids (fatty acids and their derivatives — eicosanoids) are the mediators of the chronic inflammation. Excessive accumulation of metabolically active adipose tissue is also a source of chronic inflammation due to involvement in it of macrophages, which secrete inflammatory cytokines, and their activation. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), nuclear transcription factors (NTF) stand at the crossroads between lipids and inflammation, since lipids, stimulating chronic inflammation, are ligands — PPAR activators. PPAR — the main anti-inflammatory factors, inhibiting the activity of proinflammatory NTF: activating protein-1 and NFkB. Studying biology of PPAR and their clinical application — the way to true pathogenetic treatment of many chronic diseases.
