Gene Information

human ... PPARA(5465)

Application

GW7647 has been used as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR α) ligand:
  • in defatting medium to treat primary human hepatocytes
  • to test its effect on the glycolytic function in cardiomyocytes
  • to test its effect on infant mouse heart
  • in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells to activate PPARs

Biochem/physiol Actions

GW7647 reduces serum triglyceride levels and enhances hepatic expression of genes associated with β-oxidation. Usage of GW7647 along with metformin in conditions of liver steatosis or injury improves the enzymatic levels of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) in serum.
Potent human PPARα agonist. Use to study the biology of PPARα receptor in human cells.

Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors (PPARα, γ and δ) are potentially effective targets for Type 2 diabetes mellitus therapy. The severe effects of known glitazones and the successfully approved agents (saroglitazar and lobeglitazone) motivated us to study novelly potent PPARs drugs with

Widely varied compounds, including certain plasticizers, hypolipidemic drugs (e.g., ciprofibrate, fenofibrate, WY-14643, and clofibrate), agrochemicals, and environmental pollutants, are peroxisome proliferators (PPs). Appropriate dose of PPs causes a moderate increase in the number and size of peroxisomes and the expression
