Selective Modulators of PPAR-γ Activity: Molecular Aspects Related to Obesity and Side-Effects

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and energy balance implicated in the development of insulin resistance and obesity. The identification of putative natural and synthetic ligands and activators of PPAR-γ has helped to unravel the molecular...
