INTRODUCTION |
|---|
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) are nuclear receptors involved in regulating lipids and the effects of insulin (Yki-Järvinen, 2004
). Three major receptors have been identified, alpha, gamma and delta (beta), with differing tissue distributions and effects. Agonists have been developed for each of these receptors, with differing pharmacologic and toxicologic effects.
PPAR
are present in liver, and also present in several other tissues including skeletal muscle, heart, and brown fat; their agonists have effects on maintenance of lipid levels, especially triglycerides (Klaunig et al., 2003). The toxicological effects of PPAR agonists (peroxisome proliferators) have been extensively investigated, including carcinogenic effects in rodents. They induce liver tumors in rats and mice and frequently induce rat pancreatic acinar cell and testicular Leydig cell tumors. The modes of action for these tumors have been identified and generally been found not to be relevant to humans (at least quantitatively) (Klaunig et al
