Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Gamma, an Emerging Potential Target to Combat Metabolic Disorder

Abstract

Day-by-day metabolic disorder/syndrome (MS) falling in love with current lifestyle status of everyone especially after study age group of people. If we look carefully around us, we will see evidence is growing up of diabetic, obese, and hypertensive population regularly. In urgencies of above view extensive literature survey has been done prioritizing prevalence of metabolic disorder and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) as potential target protein. This review covered current status of MS emphasizing diabetes along with its management criteria. Special importance is given to PPAR-γ exploring its metabolic regulation and structural orientation for understanding ligand-protein interaction. Development of PPAR-γ agonist thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and other pharmacodynamic importance of this nuclear receptor also discussed. Being as nuclear receptor more genomics exploitation needs to be done emphasizing minimization of cardiac adverse effect. Selective PPAR modulator (SPPRM), TZDs are the master regulator of adipogenesis and angiogenesis which makes TZD more interesting topic to explore. Developmental hierarchy suggests that in a few years from now PPAR-γ won't be in the list of double edge sword.
