Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of well-studied nuclear receptor isoforms. PPARs are intimately connected to cellular metabolism (carbohydrate, lipid and protein) and cell differentiation. PPARs are ligand-activated transcription factors, as well as being a group of nuclear receptor isoforms. Since PPARs were first reported in the 1990s, their biological functions in cellular metabolism, differentiation and disease relative effects have been thoroughly investigated. PPARs have three subtypes, PPARα, PPARδ/β and PPARγ. The biological function and relationship to disease of PPARδ have become the focus of research, with the discovery of a special selective agonist of PPARδ. PPARδ is one of the main factors that regulate adipocyte differentiation and energy dissipation. Furthermore, PPARδ also participates in the development of several diseases. PPARδ agonists are expected to become effective drugs for treating metabolic syndrome.
