Recent studies have shown a role of inflammation in muscle atrophy and sarcopenia. However, no anti-inflammatory pharmacotherapy has been established for the treatment of sarcopenia. Here, we investigate the potential role of PPARα and its ligands on inflammatory response and PGC-1α gene expression in LPS-treated C2C12 myotubes. Knockdown of PPARα, whose expression was upregulated upon differentiation, augmented IL-6 or TNFα gene expression. Conversely, PPARα overexpression or its activation by ligands suppressed 2-h LPS-induced cytokine expression, with pemafibrate attenuating NF-κB or STAT3 phosphorylation. Of note, reduction of PGC-1α gene expression by LPS treatment for 24 hours was partially reversed by fenofibrate. Our data demonstrate a critical inhibitory role of PPARα in inflammatory response of C2C12 myotubes and suggest a future possibility of PPARα ligands as a candidate for anti-inflammatory therapy against sarcopenia.

The interaction of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA+DHA) levels with omega-6 to omega-3 ratios (ω6:ω3), and their impact on head kidney lipid metabolism in farmed fish, are not fully elucidated. We investigated the influence of five plant-based diets (12-week exposure) with varying EPA+DHA levels (0.3, 1.

Article Synopsis
- The pparab subtype in zebrafish is strongly expressed in high oxidative tissues and its deficiency reduces fatty acid β-oxidation in both liver and muscle, similar to the role of PPARα in mammals.
- Knockout of pparab leads to increased glucose utilization and inhibited amino acid breakdown, showcasing a metabolic shift in energy sources.
- This research offers new insights into PPARα's regulatory role in nutrient metabolism and establishes zebrafish as a valuable model for studying metabolic processes comparably to mammals.

Background: Many molecules and signaling pathways involved in neural development play a role in neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumor progression. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) proteins regulate the differentiation of tissues and the progression of many diseases. However, the role of these proteins in neural development is unclear.

The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) PPARA and PPARD are regulators of lipid metabolism with important roles in energy release through lipid breakdown, while PPARG plays a key role in lipid storage and adipogenesis. The aim of this review is to describe the role of PPARs in lipid metabolism, adipogenesis, and obesity and evaluate the zebrafish as an emerging vertebrate model to study the function of PPARs. Zebrafish are an appropriate model to study human diseases, including obesity and related metabolic diseases, as pathways important for adipogenesis and lipid metabolism which are conserved between mammals and fish.
