Peroxisome proliferators (PPs) are a diverse class of chemicals, which cause a dramatic increase in the size and number of hepatic peroxisomes in rodents and eventually lead to the development of hepatic tumors. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists have been reported to induce apoptosis in a variety of cell types including renal proximal epithelial cells. However, the underlying mechanism of cell death induced by PPARgamma agonists has not been clearly defined in

Perfluorooctanesulfonamides, such as N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoethanol (N-EtFOSE), are large scale industrial chemicals but their disposition and toxicity are poorly understood despite significant human exposure. The hypothesis that subacute exposure to N-EtFOSE, a weak peroxisome proliferator, causes a redox imbalance in vivo

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is an endogenous antiangiogenic protein that also possesses antitumor activity. The mechanisms by which PEDF exerts its actions remains poorly understood. We sought to understand the role of PEDF in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a hypervascular malignancy
Seasonal obesity and fasting-associated hibernation are the two major metabolic events governing hepatic lipid metabolism in hibernating mammals. In this process, however, the role of the nuclear receptor known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha has not been elucidated yet. Here
