Targeting Alzheimer's Disease Neuro-Metabolic Dysfunction with a Small Molecule Nuclear Receptor Agonist (T3D-959) Reverses Disease Pathologies.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease & Parkinsonism

Tong M, Dominguez C, Didsbury J, de la Monte SM.
PMID: 27525190
J Alzheimers Dis Parkinsonism. 2016 Jun;6(3). doi: 10.4172/2161-0460.1000238. Epub 2016 Jun 03.

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) could be regarded as a brain form of diabetes since insulin resistance and deficiency develop early and progress with severity of neurodegeneration. Preserving insulin's actions in the brain restores function and reduces neurodegeneration. T3D-959 is...

United European Gastroenterol J. 2017 Mar;5(2):218-226. doi: 10.1177/2050640616640443. Epub 2016 Jul 08.

OBJECTIVE: Because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, anti-apoptotic and anti-neoplastic properties, the PPAR-γ agonist rosiglitazone is an interesting drug for investigating for use in the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced intestinal damage. We aimed to evaluate the radioprotective effect of...

Targeting the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ to Counter the Inflammatory Milieu in Obesity.

Diabetes & metabolism journal

Corzo C, Griffin PR.
PMID: 24404510
Diabetes Metab J. 2013 Dec;37(6):395-403. doi: 10.4093/dmj.2013.37.6.395.

Adipose tissue, which was once viewed as a simple organ for storage of triglycerides, is now considered an important endocrine organ. Abnormal adipose tissue mass is associated with defects in endocrine and metabolic functions which are the underlying causes...

Interactions between PPAR Gamma and the Canonical Wnt/Beta-Catenin Pathway in Type 2 Diabetes and Colon Cancer.

PPAR research

Lecarpentier Y, Claes V, Vallée A, Hébert JL.
PMID: 28298922
PPAR Res. 2017;2017:5879090. doi: 10.1155/2017/5879090. Epub 2017 Feb 19.

In both colon cancer and type 2 diabetes, metabolic changes induced by upregulation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and downregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) may help account for the frequent association of these two diseases. In both...

High-intensity interval training (swimming) significantly improves the adverse metabolism and comorbidities in diet-induced obese mice.

The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness

Motta VF, Aguila MB, Mandarim-De-Lacerda CA.
PMID: 25665746
J Sports Med Phys Fitness. 2015 Feb 10; Epub 2015 Feb 10.

AIM: Controlling obesity and other comorbidities in the population is a challenge in modern society. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) combines short periods of high-intensity exercise with long recovery periods or a low-intensity exercise. The aim was to assess the...

Change of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ expression pattern in the gerbil dentate gyrus after transient global cerebral ischemia.

Anatomy & cell biology

Lee CH, Won MH.
PMID: 24987547
Anat Cell Biol. 2014 Jun;47(2):111-6. doi: 10.5115/acb.2014.47.2.111. Epub 2014 Jun 20.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) has various actions including the regulation of adipocyte differentiation, lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. In the present study, we examined the changes of PPARγ immunoreactivity and protein levels in the gerbil dentate gyrus (DG)...

Therapy of NAFLD: Insulin Sensitizing Agents.

Journal of clinical gastroenterology

Caldwell SH, Argo CK, Al-Osaimi AM.
PMID: 16672828
J Clin Gastroenterol. 2006 Mar;40:S61-S66. doi: 10.1097/01.mcg.0000168647.71411.48.

Insulin resistance is an integral part of the underlying pathophysiology in most patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Insulin-sensitiziting agents are therefore likely to be of key importance in the treatment of this disorder, especially in the histologically...

The role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the development and physiology of gametes and preimplantation embryos.

PPAR research

Huang JC.
PMID: 18354728
PPAR Res. 2008;2008:732303. doi: 10.1155/2008/732303.

In several species, a family of nuclear receptors, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) composed of three isotypes, is expressed in somatic cells and germ cells of the ovary as well as the testis. Invalidation of these receptors in mice...

PPAR Gamma Activators: Off-Target Against Glioma Cell Migration and Brain Invasion.

PPAR research

Seufert S, Coras R, Tränkle C, Zlotos DP, Blümcke I, Tatenhorst L, Heneka MT, Hahnen E.
PMID: 18815619
PPAR Res. 2008;2008:513943. doi: 10.1155/2008/513943.

Today, there is increasing evidence that PPARgamma agonists, including thiazolidinediones (TDZs) and nonthiazolidinediones, block the motility and invasiveness of glioma cells and other highly migratory tumor entities. However, the mechanism(s) by which PPARgamma activators mediate their antimigratory and anti-invasive...

Mechanisms and clinical effects of thiazolidinediones.

Expert opinion on investigational drugs

Grossman SL, Lessem J.
PMID: 15989661
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 1997 Aug;6(8):1025-40. doi: 10.1517/13543784.6.8.1025.

Studies of pioglitazone, troglitazone, BRL 49653 and other thiazolidinediones in preclinical animal models of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and obesity led to the observation that these compounds were effective in reducing hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia. In these models, animals...

Genetic advances in inflammatory bowel disease.

The translation of basic science advances to tangible benefits in clinical practice remains a fundamental goal of biomedical research. Genetic approaches provide a unique opportunity to enhance bench-to-bedside translational efforts, with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) being a model genetic...

Therapeutic potential of curcumin in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
