The Influence of the Differentiation of Genes Encoding Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors and Their Coactivators on Nutrient and Energy Metabolism

Abstract

Genetic components may play an important role in the regulation of nutrient and energy metabolism. In the presence of specific genetic variants, metabolic dysregulation may occur, especially in relation to the processes of digestion, assimilation, and the physiological utilization of nutrients supplied to the body, as well as the regulation of various metabolic pathways and the balance of metabolic changes, which may consequently affect the effectiveness of applied reduction diets and weight loss after training. There are many well-documented studies showing that the presence of certain polymorphic variants in some genes can be associated with specific changes in nutrient and energy metabolism, and consequently, with more or less desirable effects of applied caloric reduction and/or exercise intervention. This systematic review focused on the role of genes encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and their coactivators in nutrient and energy metabolism. The literature review prepared showed that there is a link between the presence of specific alleles described at different polymorphic points in PPAR genes and various human body characteristics that are crucial for the efficacy of nutritional and/or exercise interventions. Genetic analysis can be a valuable element that complements the work of a dietitian or trainer, allowing for the planning of a personalized diet or training that makes the best use of the innate metabolic characteristics of the person who is the subject of their interventions.

Metabolic Biomarkers in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: The Role of PPAR-γ2 and PPAR-β/δ Polymorphisms

“…Less is known about the effect of the PPARD +294T/C polymorphism. PPAR-β/δ plays a role in fatty acid catabolism and energy homeostasis through cellular-level metabolic pathways [56]. Because PPAR-β/δ is an important regulator of lipid metabolism, most studies have focused on investigating lipid profile according to this SNP.…”

PEX6 Mutation in a Child with Infantile Refsum Disease—A Case Report and Literature Review

“…Phytanic acid and pristanic acid have been shown to potently activate multiple subtypes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) [ 10 , 15 ]. PPAR are ligand-activated transcription factors involved in the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, inflammation, and immunity [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. PPARs are molecular therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and chronic inflammation [ 17 , 18 ].…”
