Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor and Retinoic X Receptor in Alcoholic Liver Disease

A growing number of new studies demonstrate that nuclear receptors are involved in the development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Ethanol metabolism and RXR/PPAR functions are tightly interconnected in the liver. Several ethanol metabolizing enzymes are potently regulated by RXR and PPAR𝛼 after a...
