Abstract:Peroxisome proliferator receptors alpha (PPAR-α) and their role in atherogenesis has a great practical significance, since there are drugs that can enhance the activity of these receptors. Activation of PPAR-α by fibrates is known to lead to both significant reduction of serum triglyceride levels by activation of lipoprotein lipase, and to the increase of synthesis of the main apolipoproteins within high-density lipoproteins (HDL), contributing to the reverse transport of cholesterol from chylomicrons and very… Show more
