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.

The purpose of this work was to determine the pattern of genes regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha) in human adipocytes and the involvement of PPARalpha and PPARgamma in PGC-1 alpha transcriptional action. Primary

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

We explored the beneficial effects of GW7647, a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist, and metformin, an anti-diabetic drug on an advanced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model in rodents and investigated the possible mechanisms involved. Mice were fed control chow

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

Whole-brain irradiation (WBI) can lead to cognitive impairment several months to years after irradiation. Studies on rodents have shown a rapid and sustained increase in activated microglia (brain macrophages) following brain irradiation, contributing to a chronic inflammatory response and a
