Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors A link between endocrinology and nutrition?

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily like the steroid, thyroid, or retinoid hormone receptors, which are ligand-activated transcription factors regulating gene expression. PPARs mediate the induction of the enzymes of the peroxisomal and microsomal fatty-acid oxidation pathways by hypolipidemic drugs such as clofibrate and are probably also involved in the gene expression of other lipid-metabolism-associated proteins that are controlled by fibrate hypolipidemic drugs. That PPARs play an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism is reinforced by the discovery of their activation by physiologic concentrations of fatty acids. This observation raises the question of whether fatty acids are ligands of PPARs, which would imply that nutritional fatty acids can act like hormones.
