Rationale: GW1516 is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ agonist in the class of hormones and metabolic modulators. The use of GW1516 is banned in both horseracing and equestrian competitions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first metabolic study of GW1516 in horses.
Methods: After protein precipitation of pre- and post-administration plasma GW1516 samples, the supernatants were analyzed using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization Q-Exactive high-resolution mass spectrometry to detect GW1516 and its metabolites. Monoisotopic ions of GW1516 and its metabolites were monitored from the full-scan mass spectral data of pre- and post-administration samples. Quantification methods were developed and validated to establish the elimination profiles of GW1516, its sulfoxide, and its sulfone in equine plasma.
Results: GW1516 and its four metabolites GW1516 sulfoxide, GW1516 sulfone, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)thiazole (HMTT), and M1 were detected in post-administration plasma samples. GW1516 sulfoxide, GW1516 sulfone, and HMTT were identified by comparison with their respective reference standards whereas M1 was tentatively identified as 4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid by mass spectral interpretation. GW1516 had the longest detection time in post-administration plasma. The elimination profiles of GW1516, its sulfoxide, and its sulfone in plasma were established.
Conclusions: For the purpose of doping control, GW1516 is recommended as the target analyte to be monitored in equine plasma due to its long detection time (around 1 week) and the ready availability of its reference material.

Background: The increased degradation of the insulin receptor β subunit (InsRβ) in lysosomes contributes to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to insulin resistance through several mechanisms, including the reduction of InsRβ levels. Here, we examined how peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)β/δ regulates InsRβ levels in mouse skeletal muscle and C2C12 myotubes exposed to the ER stressor tunicamycin.

Inflammation is critical in the development of acute liver failure (ALF). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) regulates anti-inflammatory responses and is protective in several diseases such as obesity and cancer. However, the beneficial effects and underlying mechanisms of PPARδ agonist GW501516 in ALF remain unclear.

Exogenous substances, including drugs and chemicals, can transfer into human seminal fluid and influence male fertility and reproduction. In addition, substances relevant in the context of sports drug testing programs, can be transferred into the urine of a female athlete (after unprotected sexual intercourse) and trigger a so-called adverse analytical finding. Here, the question arises as to whether it is possible to distinguish analytically between intentional doping offenses and unintentional contamination of urine by seminal fluid.

The role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)β/δ in hepatic fibrosis remains a subject of debate. Here, we examined the effects of a PPARβ/δ agonist on the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis and the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the main effector cells in liver fibrosis, in response to the pro-fibrotic stimulus transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). The PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 completely prevented glucose intolerance and peripheral insulin resistance, blocked the accumulation of collagen in the liver, and attenuated the expression of inflammatory and fibrogenic genes in mice fed a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CD-HFD).
