Application

Clofibrate has been used:
  • as a quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRT) agonist to study its effects on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
  • as peroxisome proliferated activated receptor (PPAR) agonist to study its effects on autophagy in rat liver cells
  • as a hepatotoxicant to study its effects on gene expression in primary rat hepatocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clofibrate is a peroxisome proliferated activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist. It is a fibric acid derivative and has a therapeutic effect on hypertriglyceridemia and hyperlipoproteinemia type III. Clofibrate participates in lowering the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and cholesterol levels in hyperlipoproteinemia type III patients. It facilitates the decrease of total serum bilirubin concentration in Gilbert′s syndrome.

High-content data have the potential to inform mechanism of action for toxicants. However, most data to support this notion have been generated in vivo. Because many cell lines and primary cells maintain a differentiated cell phenotype, it is possible that
