Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a superfamily of nuclear transcription receptors, consisting of PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARβ/δ, which are highly expressed in the liver. They control and modulate the expression of a large number of genes involved in metabolism and energy homeostasis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and even apoptosis in the liver. Therefore, they have critical roles in the pathophysiology of hepatic diseases. This review provides a general insight into the role of PPARs in liver diseases and some of their agonists in the clinic.

Sarcopenia is an age-related muscle atrophy syndrome characterized by the loss of muscle strength and mass. Although many agents have been used to treat sarcopenia, there are no successful treatments to date. In this study, we identified Danshensu sodium salt (DSS) as a substantial suppressive agent of muscle atrophy.

Recent studies have revealed that formononetin, a naturally occurring isoflavone found in kudzu root and licorice, has the potential to inhibit ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often involves oxidative stress-related pathways, making the modulation of ferroptosis a promising therapeutic avenue. We employed a combination of several techniques to explore how formononetin regulates the retinoid X receptor alpha/peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (RXRA/PPARG) pathway to inhibit ferroptosis in Fetal Human Colonic Epithelial Cells (FHC) induced by RSL3.

Background: Visceral pain sensitization and emotional reactions due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) occur frequently in the general population. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of IBS. Previous studies have demonstrated that activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) has analgesic effects.

Skeletal muscle function gradually declines with aging, presenting substantial health and societal challenges. Comparative analysis of how aging affects fast- and slow-twitch muscles remains lacking. We utilized 20-month-old mice to reveal the aging effects on muscle structure and fiber composition, followed by bulk RNA sequencing for fast- and slow-twitch muscles and integration with human single-cell RNA sequencing dataset providing a comparative analysis across species.

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are closely associated with different types of disease, including cancer. Carnitine acetyltransferase (CRAT) is a mitochondrial-localized enzyme catalyzing the reversible transfer of acyl groups from an acyl-CoA thioester to carnitine and regulates the ratio of acyl-CoA/CoA. Our bioinformatics analysis using public database revealed a significant decrease of CRAT expression in ovarian cancer (OC).
