Abstract
The relationships of the PPARα Leu162Val and PPARδ+294 T>C polymorphisms with metabolic indexes have been reported to be inconsistent and even contradictory. The meta-analysis was conducted to clarify the relationships between the two variants and the indexes of obesity, insulin resistance, and blood lipids. PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for eligible studies. Standardized mean difference with 95% confidence interval was calculated to estimate the differences in the metabolic indexes between the genotypes of the Leu162Val and+294 T>C polymorphisms. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed by Cochran's x2-based Q-statistic test. Publication bias was identified by using Begg's test. Forty-one studies (44 585 subjects) and 33 studies (23 018 subjects) were identified in the analyses for the Leu162Val and+294 T>C polymorphisms, respectively. C allele carriers of the+294 T>C polymorphism had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol than TT homozygotes in the whole population. Notably, C allele carriers of the+294 T>C polymorphism had significantly higher levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol in East Asians, but lower levels of triglycerides in West Asians than TT homozygotes. Regarding the Leu162Val polymorphism, it was found that Val allele carriers had significantly higher levels of blood glucose than Leu/Leu homozygotes only in European Caucasians. The meta-analysis demonstrates that C allele of the+294 T>C polymorphism in PPARδ gene confers a higher risk of hypercholesterolemia, which may partly explain the relationship between this variant and coronary artery disease.

The Influence of the Differentiation of Genes Encoding Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors and Their Coactivators on Nutrient and Energy Metabolism. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14245378. [PMID: 36558537 PMCID: PMC9782515 DOI: 10.3390/nu14245378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Genetic components may play an important role in the regulation of nutrient and energy metabolism. In the presence of specific genetic variants, metabolic dysregulation may occur, especially in relation to the processes of digestion, assimilation, and the physiological utilization of nutrients supplied to the body, as well as the regulation of various metabolic pathways and the balance of metabolic changes, which may consequently affect the effectiveness of applied reduction diets and weight loss after training. There are many well-documented studies showing that the presence of certain polymorphic variants in some genes can be associated with specific changes in nutrient and energy metabolism, and consequently, with more or less desirable effects of applied caloric reduction and/or exercise intervention. This systematic review focused on the role of genes encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and their coactivators in nutrient and energy metabolism. The literature review prepared showed that there is a link between the presence of specific alleles described at different polymorphic points in PPAR genes and various human body characteristics that are crucial for the efficacy of nutritional and/or exercise interventions. Genetic analysis can be a valuable element that complements the work of a dietitian or trainer, allowing for the planning of a personalized diet or training that makes the best use of the innate metabolic characteristics of the person who is the subject of their interventions.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play roles in glucose and lipid metabolism regulation. Pro12Ala PPAR-γ2 and +294T/C PPAR-δ have been associated with dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and high body mass index (BMI). We compared metabolic traits and determined associations with Pro12Ala PPAR-γ2 or +294T/C PPAR-δ polymorphism among teenagers from different ethnicity. Four hundred and twelve samples with previous biochemical and biometric measurements were used. Genomic DNA from peripheral blood was extracted and analyzed by end-point PCR for Pro12Ala PPAR-γ2. The +294T/C PPAR-δ PCR product was also digested with Bsl I. Two genotype groups were formed: major allele homozygous and minor allele carriers. Pro12Ala PPAR-γ2 G minor allele frequencies were: 10% in Mestizo-1, 19% in Mestizo-2, 23% in Tarahumara, 12% in Mennonite, and 17% in the total studied population. The +294T/C PPAR-δ C minor allele frequencies were: 18% in Mestizo-1, 20% in Mestizo-2, 6% in Tarahumara, 13% in Mennonite, and 12% in the total studied population. Teenagers with PPAR-γ2 G allele showed a greater risk for either high waist/height ratio or low high-density lipoprotein; and, also had lower total cholesterol. Whereas, PPAR-γ2 G allele showed lower overweight/obesity phenotype (BMI Z-score) frequency, PPAR-δ C allele was a risk factor for it. Metabolic traits were associated with both PPAR polymorphisms.

The polymorphisms of the PPARD gene modify post-training body mass and biochemical parameter changes in women. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0202557.

Abstract
In this study we examined the genotype distribution of the PPARD rs2267668, rs2016520, and rs1053049 alleles in a group of women, before and after the completion of a 12-week training program. There were two significant genotype × training interactions resulting in decreases of total cholesterol (Chol) through training in rs2267668 G allele carriers and significant increases of triglyceride (TGL) levels in rs2267668 AA homozygotes. Carriers of rs2016520 PPARD C allele exhibited a significant decrease in Chol through training with an accompanying decrease in TGL. There was also overrepresentation of PPARD rs1053049 TT homozygotes in the group with higher post-training TGL levels. Moreover (rs2267668/rs2016520/rs1053049) G/C/T haplotype displayed smaller post-training body mass decrease, suggesting that harboring this specific G/C/T haplotype is unfavorable for achieving the desired training-induced body mass changes. On the other hand, the G/C/C haplotype was significantly associated with post-training increase in fat free mass (FFM) and with lower levels of Chol as well as TGL as observed in the blood of the participants in response to applied training. This observation constitutes the second important finding of the study, implying that when specific training-induced biochemical changes are taken into account, some individuals may benefit from carrying the G/C/C haplotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Genetic variation of disease susceptible genes is different in different ethnic groups and there is an evidence of association of polymorphisms of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARs) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This research analyses the association of PPARs in early and late onset of T2DM in North Indian Population (NIP). METHODS Total of 703 subjects were recruited from north of India and subjects were further divided into subjects of early onset (less than 25 years of onset, 26 T2DM and 26 controls) and late onset (more than 25 years of onset, 326 T2DM and 325 controls). RESULT The onset of T2DM begins from 15 years and continues further to maximum T2DM subjects to the age of 50 (76% of T2DM). High BMI and WHR, high blood pressure leading to early onset of hypertension, early mortality due to T2DM (7% of T2DM is above 75 years and 3% of T2DM has 20 years duration of onset) and high hyperglycemic NIP were the few outcomes of this research. CONCLUSION There is a strong association of PPAR γ, PPAR α and PPAR δ genes on the susceptibility of T2DM in late onset but not with the early onset of T2DM subjects in North Indian Population: Dual association of PPAR γ was observed with its genotype G/G (Ala/Ala) favoring protection against T2DM and genotype C/C (Pro/Pro) favoring susceptibility to T2DM. Association of intron7 polymorphism of PPAR α and +T294C polymorphism of PPAR δ on the susceptibility to T2DM requires further analysis.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the impact of peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor delta (PPARD) gene polymorphism and additional gene-smoking interaction on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk based on this Chinese population. METHODS A total of 1048 subjects (617 males, 431 females) with a mean age of 52.9 ± 14.1 years old were selected, including 520 CVD patients and 528 normal control subjects. The logistic regression model was used to examine the association between three SNPs and CVD risk, odds ratio (OR), and 95% confident interval (95%CI) were calculated. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was employed to investigate the gene-smoking interaction. RESULTS Genotypes of variants in rs2016520 and rs9794 were associated with decreased CVD risk, and CVD risk was significantly lower in carriers of C allele of the rs2016520 polymorphism than those with the TT genotype (TC+CC versus TT), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 0.71 (0.56-0.86). In addition, we also found that CVD risk was also significantly lower in carriers of the G allele of the rs9794 polymorphism than those with the CC genotype (CG+ GG versus CC), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 0.69 (0.53-0.86). GMDR analysis suggested a potential gene-environment interaction between rs2016520 and smoking. Overall, the two-locus models had a cross-validation consistency of 10 of 10, and had the testing accuracy of 62.17%, and never smokers with TC or CC of the rs2016520 genotype have the lowest CVD risk, compared to smokers with TT of rs2016520, OR (95%CI) was 0.42 (0.23-0.66). CONCLUSIONS The minor allele of rs2016520 and rs9794 in PPAR-δ and interaction between rs2016520 and non-smoking were associated with decreased risk of CVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) has been suggested to be associated with polymorphisms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), while the results were controversial. We aimed to systematically assess the association between PPAR polymorphisms and CHD risk. METHODS A case-control study with 446 subjects was conducted to evaluate the association between CHD risk and C161T polymorphism, which was of our special interest as this polymorphism showed different effects on risks of CHD and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Meta-analyses were conducted to assess all PPAR polymorphisms. Either a fixed- or a random-effects model was adopted to estimate overall odds ratios (ORs). RESULTS In the case-control study, T allele carriers of C161T polymorphism were not significantly associated with CHD risk (Odds ratio (OR) = 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-1.15, P = 0.19), while T allele carriers showed higher risk of ACS (OR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.00-2.65, P = 0.048). The meta-analysis indicated that compared with CC homozygous, T allele carriers had lower CHD risk (OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.59-0.82, P < 0.001) but higher ACS risk (OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.09-1.87, P = 0.010). Three other polymorphisms were also found to be significantly associated with CHD risk under dominant model: PPAR-alpha intron 7G/C polymorphism (CC+GC vs GG, OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.13-1.78, P = 0.003), L162V polymorphism (VV+LV vs LL, OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.56-0.97, P = 0.031), and PPAR-delta +294T/C polymorphism (CC+TC vs TT, OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.12-2.05, P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that PPAR-alpha intron 7G/C and L162V, PPAR-delta +294T/C and PPAR-gamma C161T polymorphisms could affect CHD susceptibility, and C161T polymorphism might have different effects on CHD and ACS.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ (PPAR-δ) and additional SNP-SNP interaction with essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese Han population. A total of 1248 subjects (625 males, 623 females), including 620 EH patients and 628 normotension subjects, were included in the study. The mean age was 51.2 ± 15.1 years old. Logistic regression model was used to examine the association between four SNP and EH; odds ratio (OR) and 95% confident interval (95%CI) were calculated. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was employed to analyze SNP-SNP interaction. EH risk was significantly lower in carriers of C allele of the rs2016520 polymorphism than those with TT (TC + CC versus TT, adjusted OR (95%CI) = 0.61 (0.49-0.78)). In addition, we also found a significant association between rs9794 and EH; EH risk was also significantly lower in carriers of G allele of the rs9794 polymorphism than those with CC (CG + GG versus CC, adjusted OR (95%CI) = 0.65 (0.53-0.83)). We also found a potential SNP-SNP interaction between rs2016520 and rs9794; subjects with TC or CC of rs2016520 and CG or GG of rs9794 genotype have the lowest EH risk, compared to subjects with TT of rs2016520 and CC of rs9794 genotype; OR (95%CI) was 0.32 (0.23-0.62) after covariate adjustment. Our results support an important association between rs2016520 and rs9794 minor allele of PPAR-δ and decreased risk of EH and additional interaction between rs2016520 and rs9794.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) genes PPARα L162V, PPARγ2 C161T and PPARδ T294C single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with obesity and metabolic syndrome (Met-S) in a multi-ethnic population in Kampar, Malaysia. METHODS Socio-demographic data, anthropometric and biochemical measurements (plasma lipid profile, adiponectin and interleukin-6 [IL-6] levels) were taken from 307 participants (124 males; 180 obese; 249 Met-S; 97 Malays, 85 ethnic Chinese, 55 ethnic Indians). RESULTS The overall minor allele frequencies were .08, .22 and .30 for PPAR α L162V, γ C161T, δ T294C, respectively. All SNPs were not associated with obesity, Met-S and obesity with/without Met-S by χ(2) analysis, ethnicity-stratified and logistic regression analyses. Nevertheless, participants with V162 allele of PPARα had significantly higher IL-6, while those with T161 allele of PPARγ2 had significantly lower HOMA-IR. CONCLUSIONS All PPAR SNPs were not associated with obesity and Met-S in the suburban population of Kampar, Malaysia, where only PPARα V162 and PPARγ2 T161 alleles were associated with plasma IL-6 and HOMA-IR, respectively.

Abstract
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of nuclear receptors that function as transcription factors regulating the expression of genes involved in cellular differentiation, development, metabolism and also tumorigenesis. Three PPAR isotypes (α, β/δ and γ) have been identified, among which PPARβ/δ is the most difficult to functionally examine due to its tissue-specific diversity in cell fate determination, energy metabolism and housekeeping activities. PPARβ/δ acts both in a ligand-dependent and -independent manner. The specific type of regulation, activation or repression, is determined by many factors, among which the type of ligand, the presence/absence of PPARβ/δ-interacting corepressor or coactivator complexes and PPARβ/δ protein post-translational modifications play major roles. Recently, new global approaches to the study of nuclear receptors have made it possible to evaluate their molecular activity in a more systemic fashion, rather than deeply digging into a single pathway/function. This systemic approach is ideally suited for studying PPARβ/δ, due to its ubiquitous expression in various organs and its overlapping and tissue-specific transcriptomic signatures. The aim of the present review is to present in detail the diversity of PPARβ/δ function, focusing on the different information gained at the systemic level, and describing the global and unbiased approaches that combine a systems view with molecular understanding.

PPARD +294C overrepresentation in general and long-lived population in China Bama longevity area and unique relationships between PPARD +294T/C polymorphism and serum lipid profiles. Lipids Health Dis 2015; 14:17. [PMID: 25873088 PMCID: PMC4356147 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-015-0016-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2014] [Accepted: 02/23/2015] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The +294T/C polymorphism in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) gene is associated with hyperlipidemia in several younger populations, but results are still inconsistence across ethnic groups and its possible impact on the lipid profiles of long-lived individuals remains unexploited. Here, we aimed to evaluate the possible correlation between PPARD +294T/C and serum lipid levels in a long-lived population in Bama, a region known for longevity situated in Guangxi, China. Methods Genotyping of PPARD +294T/C polymorphism was conducted in 505 long-lived inhabitants (aged 90 and above, long-lived group, LG) and 468 healthy controls (aged 60–75, non-long-lived group, non-LG) recruited from Bama area. Results No difference in allelic and genotypic frequencies was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, C-allele and C-genotype (TC and CC) were significantly more frequent in the females of non-LG than were LG after sex stratification. CC carriers exhibited higher LDL-C level in LG (P < 0.05) but lower TC, TG and LDL-C in non-LG (P < 0.05 for each) than TT carriers; C allele carriers (TC/CC) in LG exhibited higher TC, TG, and LDL-C levels as compared with the same genotype and the same lipid parameter in non-LG (P < 0.05 for each). LDL-C in LG was correlated with genotypes while TC, TG, and LDL-C in non-LG were correlated with genotypes (P < 0.05-0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that there were different impact patterns of PPARD +294T/C polymorphism on lipid profiles between long-lived cohort and average population in Bama area and this may be one of the genetic bases of its longevity.

Abstract
The PPARD polymorphisms were shown to be associated with circulating lipoprotein metabolism in various diseases. We aimed to check the contribution of PPARD rs2016520 and lipid concentration to the risk of intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) and brain tumors (BT) in Han Chinese. A total of 864 participants were included in the case-control study. The melting temperature shift (Tm-shift) method was used for rs2016520 genotyping. Under the recessive model, PPARD rs2016520 was shown to be associated with the risk of ICH (P=0.029, odds ratio (OR)=2.72), specifically in males (P=0.045, OR=3.98). Additionally, we also found that the levels of TC and LDL-C were significantly higher in participants with brain diseases than in the controls (TC: P<0.0001; LDL-C: P<0.0001). Significantly higher HDL-C and lower ApoA-I levels were observed in the male patients with brain diseases (HDL-C: P<0.0001; ApoA-I: P=0.008), in contrast of a higher TG level in female ICH (P=0.023). Subsequent interaction analysis between PPARD rs2016520 and lipoprotein metabolism showed that the LDL-C level was positively correlated with ICH in the rs2016520-AA carriers (P<0.0001), but not in the other genotype carriers (AG or GG, P=0.300). Our results showed that PPARD rs2016520 displayed a strong relationship with ICH risk in the male Han Chinese. The TC and LDL-C levels were positively higher in the patients with brain diseases than in the controls. The levels of TG, HDL-C and ApoA-I were shown to affect brain disease in a gender-dependent model. The genotype rs2016520-AA showed significant interaction with the circulating LDL-C levels in ICH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-distance runners have increased needs of energy supply. To unravel genetically based mechanisms required for efficient energy supply, we have analyzed hepatic metabolism of mice characterized by the inborn capacity to perform as long-distance runners. METHODS The mouse model had been established by phenotypic selection for high treadmill performance for 90 generations and was characterized by approximately 3.8-fold higher running capacities (Dummerstorf high Treadmill Performance mouse line [DUhTP]) compared with unselected and also untrained controls (Dummerstorf Control mouse line [DUC]). From 7-wk-old male mice, serum and liver samples were collected and analyzed for messenger RNA, protein, and metabolite levels, respectively. RESULTS In livers from DUhTP mice, we identified significantly higher messenger RNA transcript levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta and higher protein levels of sirtuin-1, acetyl-CoA-synthetase, acetyl-CoA-carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, and glutamate-dehydrogenase, suggesting higher gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis in DUhTP mice. In fact, higher hepatic levels of glycogen and triglycerides as well as higher concentrations of carbohydrate, fatty acid, and cholesterol metabolites were found in DUhTP mice. In parallel, in DUhTP mice, which did not have access to running wheels, a marked hyperlipidemia (cholesterol = 160% ± 8%, triglycerides = 174% ± 14% of controls, respectively), and abdominal obesity (DUhTP = 0.396 ± 0.019 g, DUC = 0.291 ± 0.019 g) were found. CONCLUSIONS From our data, we conclude that the physiological basis of genetically fixed higher endurance-running performance in DUhTP marathon mouse is related to increased hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis. Expression of sirtuin 1 as well as of gluconeogenic and lipogenic key enzymes may be related to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta. Metabolic adaptations presented in our study represent inborn features of superior endurance-running performance.

Abstract
Recent reports have shown that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) plays an important role in different vascular processes suggesting that PPARD is a significant modulator of cardiovascular disease. This review will focus on PPARD in relation to cardiovascular risk factors based on cell, animal and human data. Mouse studies suggest that Ppard is an important metabolic modulator that may have implications for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Specific human PPARD gene variants show no clear association with CVD but interactions between variants and lifestyle factors might influence disease risk. During recent years, development of specific and potent PPARD agonists has also made it possible to study the effects of PPARD activation in humans. PPARD agonists seem to exert beneficial effects on dyslipidemia and insulin-resistant syndromes but safety issues have been raised due to the role that PPARD plays in cell proliferation. Thus, large long term outcome as well as detailed safety and tolerability studies are needed to evaluate whether PPARD agonists could be used to treat CVD in humans.

Abstract
PPARδ +294T/C polymorphism was investigated in diabetics, in normolipidemic healthy controls, in dyslipidemic and nondyslipidemic coronary artery disease patients but never in ischemic stroke patients. The aim of this study was to explore, for the first time, the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of PPARδ and the risk of ischemic stroke among patients with diabetes. The study group consisted of 196 patients with ischemic stroke and 192 controls. Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-, and high-density lipoprotein did not differ significantly between subjects carrying the TT genotype and those carrying the CC/TC genotype in both ischemic stroke patients (with or without diabetes) and control groups. The +294C allele (CC + CT genotypes) as compared with TT genotypes was found to be higher in total ischemic stroke patients than in controls. On the other hand, no interaction between diabetes and PPAR +294T/C polymorphism on the risk of ischemic stroke was found (p = 0.089). The PPARδ +294T/C polymorphism was associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in Tunisian subjects. This polymorphism has no influence on plasma lipoprotein concentrations and body mass index either in healthy subjects or in ischemic stroke patients with or without diabetes both in males and females.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) defines a wide spectrum of liver diseases that extend from simple steatosis, that is, increased hepatic lipid content, to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a condition that may progress to cirrhosis with its associated complications. Nuclear hormone receptors act as intracellular lipid sensors that coordinate genetic networks regulating lipid metabolism and energy utilization. This family of transcription factors, in particular peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), represents attractive drug targets for the management of NAFLD and NASH, as well as related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. The impact on the regulation of lipid metabolism observed for PPARs has led to the hypothesis that genetic variants within the human PPARs genes may be associated with human disease such as NAFLD, the metabolic syndrome, and/or coronary heart disease. Here we review the available evidence on the association between PPARs genetic polymorphism and the susceptibility to NAFLD and NASH, and we provide a meta-analysis of the available evidence. The impact of PPAR variants on the susceptibility to NASH in specific subgroup of patients, and in particular on the response to therapies, especially those targeting PPARs, represents promising new areas of investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have identified that variants in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPAR-δ (PPARD), a target gene of vitamin D, were significantly associated with fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity in European populations. This current study sought to determine (1) whether the genetic associations of PPARD variants with type 2 diabetes and its related traits could be replicated in Chinese Han population, and (2) whether the associations would be modified by the effect of vitamin D status. METHODS AND FINDINGS We genotyped 9 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that cover the gene of PPARD (rs2267664, rs6902123, rs3798343, rs2267665, rs2267668, rs2016520, rs2299869, rs1053049, and rs9658056) and tested their associations with type 2 diabetes risk and its related traits, including fasting glucose, insulin and HbA1c in 3,210 Chinese Hans. Among the 9 PPARD tag SNPs, rs6902123 was significantly associated with risk of type 2 diabetes (odds ratio 1.75 [95%CI 1.22-2.53]; P = 0.0025) and combined type 2 diabetes and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (odds ratio 1.47 [95%CI 1.12-1.92]; P = 0.0054). The minor C allele of rs6902123 was associated with increased levels of fasting glucose (P = 0.0316) and HbA1c (P = 0.0180). In addition, we observed that vitamin D modified the effect of rs6902123 on HbA1c (P for interaction = 0.0347). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Our findings demonstrate that common variants in PPARD contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes in Chinese Hans, and provided suggestive evidence of interaction between 25(OH)D levels and PPARD-rs6902123 on HbA1c.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity prevalence is growing in our population. Twin studies have estimated the heritability of dietary intakes to about 30%. The objective of this study was to verify whether polymorphisms in genes involved in fatty acid metabolism are associated with dietary fat intakes. METHODS Seven hundred participants were recruited. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intakes. PCR-RFLP and TAQMAN methodology were used to genotype PPARα Leu162Val, PPARγ Pro12Ala, PPARδ -87T>C, PPARGC1α Gly482Ser, FASN Val1483Ile and SREBF1 c.*619C>G. Statistical analyses were executed with SAS statistical package. RESULTS Carriers of the Ala12 allele of PPARγ Pro12Ala polymorphism had higher intakes of total fat (p = 0.04). For FASN Val1483Ile polymorphism, significant gene-sex interaction effects were found for total fat and saturated fat intakes (p = 0.02 and p = 0.002, respectively). No significant difference in fat intakes was observed for PPARα Leu162Val, PPARδ -87T>C, PPARGC1α Gly482Ser and SREBF1 c.*619C>G polymorphisms. CONCLUSIONS Polymorphisms in PPARγ and FASN seem to be associated with dietary fat intakes. Genetic variants are important to take into account when studying dietary intakes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the role of polymorphic variants of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) genes in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), and the PPARD and APOE gene-gene interaction in a Turkish population. This study was carried out using a sample of 223 patients with CHD (103 with diabetes and 120 without diabetes) and 101 controls. PPARD +294T/C and APOE genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. The PPARD and APOE genotype distributions were the same between study groups (p>0.05). In the nondiabetic CHD patients, the PPARD +294 C allele showed higher serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level than the common +294 TT homozygote genotype (3.83 ± 1.01 vs. 3.33 ± 1.14, p=0.015). In addition, a significant association between APOE 4 and PPARD +294 C alleles was detected based on their effects on LDL-C in the nondiabetic CHD patients (+294 C/APOE4: 4.43 ± 0.88 vs. +294 TT/nonAPOE 4: 3.48 ± 1.09, p = 0.009). This association indicated the interaction of two genes on plasma LDL-C levels ascended in the order +294 T<+294 T-APOE 4<+294 C<APOE 4<+294 C-APOE 4. The PPARD +294 C allele was associated with higher incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in all male patients with body mass index >27. In addition, the CHD patients who were +294 C allele carriers had a 2.48-fold higher risk of LVH than subjects homozygous for the T allele. An increasing effect of the PPARD +294 C allele was shown on serum LDL-C levels in nondiabetic CHD patients. In addition, the results suggested that the +294 C allele might be associated with an increased LVH risk especially in male CHD patients. Furthermore, gene-gene interaction between the PPARD +294T/C and the APOE polymorphisms was observed regarding LDL-C concentrations.

Abstract
Background The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) gene affects serum lipid profiles, but to what extent alcohol consumption interferes with this association remains unknown. The present study was undertaken to compare the association of PPARD +294T > C (rs2016520) polymorphism and serum lipid levels in the nondrinkers and drinkers. Methods A total of 685 unrelated nondrinkers and 497 drinkers aged 15-82 were randomly selected from our previous stratified randomized cluster samples. Genotyping of the PPARD +294T > C was performed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Interactions of the PPARD +294T > C genotypes and alcohol consumption on serum lipid levels were detected by using a factorial regression analysis after controlling for potential confounders. Results The levels of triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein (Apo) A1, and the ratio of ApoA1 to ApoB were higher in drinkers than in nondrinkers (P < 0.05-0.001). There were no significant differences in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and ApoB between the two groups (P > 0.05 for all). The frequencies of TT, TC and CC genotypes were 56.0%, 36.4% and 7.6% in nondrinkers, and 57.2%, 38.0% and 4.8% in drinkers (P > 0.05); respectively. The frequencies of T and C alleles were 74.2% and 25.8% in nondrinkers, and 76.2% and 23.8% in drinkers (P > 0.05); respectively. There was also no significant difference in the genotypic and allelic frequencies between males and females in both groups (P > 0.05 for all). The levels of TC in nondrinkers were different among the three genotypes (P = 0.01), the C allele carriers had higher serum TC levels than the C allele noncarriers. The levels of all seven lipid traits in drinkers were not different among the three genotypes (P > 0.05 for all). The interactions of PPARD +294T > C genotypes and alcohol consumption on serum lipid levels were not detected in the drinkers (P >0.05 for all). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, ApoA1, and ApoB levels were correlated with genotypes in drinkers but not in nondrinkers (P < 0.05-0.01). Conclusions These results suggest that the great majority of our study populations are beneficial from alcohol consumption. But there is no interaction between the PPARD +294T > C genotypes and alcohol consumption on serum lipid levels in the drinkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) +294T > C polymorphism and serum lipid levels is inconsistent in several previous studies. Bai Ku Yao is an isolated subgroup of the Yao minority in China. The present study was undertaken to detect the association of PPARD +294T > C (rs2016520) polymorphism and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Guangxi Bai Ku Yao and Han populations. METHODS A total of 609 subjects of Bai Ku Yao and 573 participants of Han Chinese were randomly selected from our previous stratified randomized cluster samples. Genotyping of the PPARD +294T > C polymorphism was performed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with gel electrophoresis, and then confirmed by direct sequencing. RESULTS The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein (Apo) AI and ApoB were lower in Bai Ku Yao than in Han (P < 0.001 for all). The frequency of T and C alleles was 77.50% and 22.50% in Bai Ku Yao, and 72.43% and 27.57% in Han (P < 0.01); respectively. The frequency of TT, TC and CC genotypes was 60.59%, 33.83% and 5.53% in Bai Ku Yao, and 52.18%, 40.50% and 7.32% in Han (P < 0.05); respectively. The subjects with CC genotype in Bai Ku Yao had higher serum LDL-C and ApoB levels and lower the ratio of ApoAI to ApoB than the subjects with TT and TC genotypes in females but not in males. The C allele carriers in Han had higher serum TC levels in males (P < 0.01) and ApoB levels in females (P < 0.05) than the C allele noncarriers. Serum TC and ApoB levels were correlated with genotypes in Han (P < 0.05 for each) but not in Bai Ku Yao. Serum lipid parameters were also correlated with sex, age, body mass index, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and blood pressure in both ethnic groups. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the association of PPARD +294T > C polymorphism and serum lipid levels is different between the Bai Ku Yao and Han populations. The discrepancy between the two ethnic groups might partly result from different PPARD +294T > C polymorphism or PPARD gene-environmental interactions.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a constellation of risk factors including insulin resistance, central obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension that markedly increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPAR) isotypes, PPARα, PPARδ/ß and PPARγ are ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors, which modulate the expression of an array of genes that play a central role in regulating glucose, lipid and cholesterol metabolism, where imbalance can lead to obesity, T2DM and CVD. They are also drug targets, and currently, PPARα (fibrates) and PPARγ (thiazolodinediones) agonists are in clinical use for treating dyslipidemia and T2DM, respectively. These metabolic characteristics of the PPARs, coupled with their involvement in metabolic diseases, mean extensive efforts are underway worldwide to develop new and efficacious PPAR-based therapies for the treatment of additional maladies associated with the MetS. This article presents an overview of the functional characteristics of three PPAR isotypes, discusses recent advances in our understanding of the diverse biological actions of PPARs, particularly in the vascular system, and summarizes the developmental status of new single, dual, pan (multiple) and partial PPAR agonists for the clinical management of key components of MetS, T2DM and CVD. It also summarizes the clinical outcomes from various clinical trials aimed at evaluating the atheroprotective actions of currently used fibrates and thiazolodinediones.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-delta) is a transcription factor implicated in metabolism and inflammation. The +294T/C polymorphism in the PPAR-delta gene is associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in dyslipidemic women and hypercholesterolemic men. Whether this polymorphism influences the risk of CAD in the absence of dyslipidemia was not known, so we investigated a possible association of this polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels and with risk and outcome of CAD in a normolipidemic Tunisian population. Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP in 112 CAD patients and 113 healthy volunteers. The C-allele was significantly more frequent in patients than in controls (0.320 vs 0.189, P = 0.001). This association remained significant after adjustment for age, gender, body mass index, smoking, hypertension, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Subjects carrying either one or two copies of the C-allele had a 2.7-fold higher risk of CAD than subjects homozygous for the T-allele. PPAR-delta genotypes were not associated with lipoprotein concentrations or outcome of CAD. We conclude that PPAR-delta +294T/C polymorphism is an independent risk factor of CAD in normolipidemic Tunisian subjects. The lack of association with lipoprotein concentrations suggests that the effect of the polymorphism on CAD is not mediated through lipoprotein levels in this population and that it may influence the atherosclerotic process through mechanisms involving inflammation.

Abstract
Abnormalities in lipid metabolism and enhanced oxidative stress are considered as major risk factors for coronary atherosclerosis. Functional genetic variations in genes whose products are involved in lipid metabolism and antioxidant defense could therefore modulate risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we evaluate whether the PPARGC1A Gly482Ser, PPARG3 (-681)C/G, PPARD +294T/C, and CYBA +242C/T gene variants confer the risk of CAD in a Russian population. A total of 313 CAD patients and 132 controls with no clinical sign of CAD were studied. The polymorphic markers were tested using a TaqMan assay. Allele and genotype frequencies in CAD patients and controls were compared using the Yates chi(2) test. Association of the genetic markers with metabolic risk factors of arterial atherosclerosis was studied using the analysis of variance test and then adjusted for conventional risk factors in the multiple regression analysis. For CYBA +242C/T, both the allele T and genotype T/T showed significant association with higher risk of CAD (odds ratio =1.49 and 3.89, respectively). The allele C and genotype C/C of the +294T/C marker of PPARD were associated with increased risk of CAD providing an odds ratio of 2.12 and 2.78, respectively. The risk variants of CYBA +242C/T and PPARD +294T/C markers were associated with higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increased total serum cholesterol, respectively. In conclusion, the CYBA +242C/T and PPARD +294T/C variants modulate risk of CAD through their associations with atherogenic serum lipid profiles.

Abstract
Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that can be activated by specific ligands. Recent progress has shown that retinoid X receptor (RXR) and its heterodimerization partners, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, regulate many important genes involved in energy homeostasis and atherosclerosis, and should be promising therapeutic targets of metabolic syndrome. RXR heterodimers regulate a number of complex cellular processes, and genetic studies of RXR heterodimers have provided important clinical information in addition to knowledge gained from basic research. Genetic variants of RXR heterodimers were screened and investigated, and some variants were shown to have a considerable impact on metabolic disorders, including phenotypic components of familial combined hyperlipidemia. The combined efforts of basic and clinical science regarding nuclear receptors have achieved significant progress in unraveling the inextricably linked control system of energy expenditure, lipid and glucose homeostasis, inflammation, and atherosclerosis.This review summarizes the current understanding regarding RXR heterodimers based on their human genetic variants, which will provide new clues to uncover the background of multifactorial disease, such as metabolic syndrome or familial combined hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Abundant data in rodents suggest an important role for peroxisomal proliferators-activated receptor-delta (PPARdelta) in regulating skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation and this has consequences for lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Considerably less is known in humans and this review will focus on evidence derived from studies of the PPARD gene and pharmacological use of specific PPARdelta agonists. RECENT FINDINGS Genetic association studies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the PPARD gene have only provided negative or conflicting evidence for gross phenotypes such as obesity, hyperlipidaemia and type 2 diabetes. This does not exclude more subtle effects in skeletal muscle metabolic function, but studies of this type need replication. A couple of recent studies using the specific PPARdelta agonist GW501516 suggest potent hypolipidaemic actions, presumably caused by enhanced fat oxidation in skeletal muscle. SUMMARY Considering the hypolipidaemic effect in humans by PPARdelta agonists, long-term studies are needed to confirm efficacy and safety.

Abstract
CONTEXT Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-delta is a nuclear transcription factor that plays a key role in many metabolic processes, including energy metabolism, and lipid and glucose metabolism. Candidate gene studies have identified a putative functional variant, rs2016520, in the gene encoding PPARdelta (PPARD), which is associated in some studies with metabolic traits. In addition, this single-nucleotide polymorphism was associated with adult height in several whole-genome scans, but this association did not achieve whole genome significance. OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine whether PPARD variation influenced height. DESIGN Haplotype tagging analysis across PPARD was performed in about 11,000 individuals from the Wellcome Trust U.K. Type 2 Diabetes Case Control Collection (Go-DARTS2). RESULTS There was an association between rs2016520 and height in both patients with type 2 diabetes and controls without diabetes (combined P = 5 x 10(-5)). In a metaanalysis using published data from Caucasian cohorts totaling more than 38,000 participants, compelling evidence was found for this locus and its association with height (P = 10(-8)) with an overall effect size of about 0.5 cm per allele. A similar analysis in a group of 2700 prepubescent children also displayed a similar effect size to that seen in the adults. CONCLUSION PPARD variation is clearly associated with a phenotype of reduced stature in both adults and children. Because height is an important indicator of metabolic and nutritional status, this provides additional support for a key role for PPARdelta in critical metabolic functions. PPARdelta may affect height through a variety of mechanisms including altered metabolic efficiency or effects on osteoclast function.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors belong to the superfamily of ligand-dependent nuclear receptor transcription factors, which include three subtypes: PPAR-α, β/δ, and γ. PPAR-δ, play important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation as well as tissue wound and repair. Emerging evidence has also demonstrated that PPAR-δ is implicated in lipids and glucose metabolism. Most recently, the direct effects of PPAR-δ on cardiovascular processes such as endothelial function and angiogenesis have also been investigated. Therefore, it is suggested that PPAR-δ may have critical roles in cardiovascular pathophysiology and is a potential target for therapeutic intervention of cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Context Obesity is a multifactorial disorder, that is, a disease determined by the combined effect of genes and environment. In this context, polygenic approaches are needed. Objective To investigate the possibility of the existence of a crosstalk between the CALPAIN 10 homologue CALPAIN 5 and nuclear receptors of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors family. Design Cross-sectional, genetic association study and gene-gene interaction analysis. Subjects The study sample comprise 1953 individuals, 725 obese (defined as body mass index ≥ 30) and 1228 non obese subjects. Results In the monogenic analysis, only the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) gene was associated with obesity (OR = 1.43 [1.04–1.97], p = 0.027). In addition, we have found a significant interaction between CAPN5 and PPARD genes (p = 0.038) that reduces the risk for obesity in a 55%. Conclusion Our results suggest that CAPN5 and PPARD gene products may also interact in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor isoforms may be among the most important single-gene contributors to dyslipidemias, insulin resistance, and maturity-onset diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Familial partial lipodystrophy is a rare but characteristic phenotype associated with carriers of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma missense mutations. Mutant receptors are transcriptionally defective, exhibit aberrant affinity for co-regulator molecules, and can exert dominant-negative or haplo-insufficiency effects on normal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma function. The P12A variant of isoform gamma is estimated to reduce diabetes risk by 19% in many populations, and has a large attributable risk because of high prevalence of the normal allele. Variants L162V and V227A of isoform alpha (common in white and Oriental populations, respectively) are associated with sexually dimorphic perturbations of lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk. Polymorphisms in isoforms alpha and beta/delta are reported to influence lipid and glucose utilization. Apart from lipodystrophic syndromes, metabolic and cardiovascular risk in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor variants is apparently modulated by dietary and exercise interventions, and interactions with polymorphisms in other genetic loci. SUMMARY Polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors are critical susceptibility risk factors for dyslipidemias and diabetes. They provide attractive targets for gene-environment interventions to reduce the burden of metabolic disease.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors acting as key regulators of lipid metabolism as well as modulators of inflammation. The role of PPARalpha and PPARgamma in cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury, infarct healing and hypertrophy is the subject of intense research. Due to the later development of PPARdelta-specific ligands, the role of this PPAR isoform in cardiac disease remains to be established. Although many studies point to salutatory effects of PPAR ligands in cardiac disease, the exact molecular mechanism is still largely unsolved. Both the metabolic (via transactivation) and the more recently discovered anti-inflammatory (via transrepression) effects of PPARs are likely to play a role. In this review the reported, and sometimes contradictory, effects of PPAR ligands on ischaemia-reperfusion, infarct healing and cardiac hypertrophy are critically evaluated. In particular the role of inflammation in these disease processes, the ability of PPARs to interfere with pro-inflammatory processes, and the mechanisms of transrepression are discussed. Currently, the significance of PPARs as therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disease is receiving widespread attention. Accordingly, detailed understanding of the mechanisms controlling the activity of these nuclear hormone receptors is essential.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review focuses on recent progress towards the characterization of genetic variations that contribute to interindividual variation in plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the general population. RECENT FINDINGS Many of the genes that harbor rare mutations leading to extreme high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels contain common variation that influences plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in several study populations. Candidate gene association studies provide evidence that some of these variations have an effect on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, dependent on epistatic interactions or environmental context. Both rare and common variations contribute to interindividual high-density lipoprotein cholesterol variation. Recent comparisons of candidate gene sequences between individuals in the tails of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol distributions (the upper or lower 1-5%) of several study populations indicate that as many as 20% of individuals with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol harbor a rare mutation in an investigated gene. For example, the ABCA1 gene region harbors rare mutations and common variants that contribute to interindividual high-density lipoprotein cholesterol variation in the general population. SUMMARY The genetic control of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level is complex. Maximizing the utility of genetic knowledge for predicting an individual's high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level or response to intervention will require a better understanding of the action of combinations of genetic variants and environmental exposures.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Studies in animals reveal that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) regulates glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in both the liver and skeletal muscles. Moreover, PPARdelta augments physical endurance and increases oxidative metabolism, thereby averting obesity. Thus, we hypothesised that common variation in the PPARD gene is associated with insulin resistance and metabolic traits. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied variation in the exonic region of PPARD. Based upon the results of variant detection and information derived from the HapMap data resource, we selected common variants and tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms for genotyping in 7,495 white subjects, including 1,416 patients with type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Fourteen nucleotide variants were identified and a total of 12 variants capturing the common variation of PPARD were genotyped. In the population-based Inter99 (ClinicalTrials.gov ID no: NCT00289237) sample we observed no robust association with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), adiposity measures or fasting serum lipids. Similarly, no association with type 2 diabetes or the metabolic syndrome was found. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Based on thorough investigation, we conclude that common variation in PPARD does not significantly affect the risk of metabolic disease in the population studied. Given the confidence intervals that were found for effect size estimates, we can effectively rule out an increase in HOMA-IR of any tag SNP above 7% per allele, assuming an additive model. Likewise, we can exclude an odds ratio of type 2 diabetes above 1.27 per allele.

Abstract
PPARdelta differs from the other two PPAR isotypes (alpha and gamma) by its more wide-spread tissue-specific expression pattern, its involvement in developmental processes and its profound impact on muscle and heart fat metabolism. Activation of PPARdelta modulates inflammatory responses of macrophages and is linked to altered lipoprotein metabolism, most importantly a significant raise of HDL cholesterol. PPARdelta activation in the liver decreases hepatic glucose output, thereby contributing to improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Several studies have shown that PPARdelta polymorphisms are associated with plasma lipid levels, body mass index and the risk for diabetes and coronary heart disease. These findings support that high affinity PPARdelta agonists may be promising drugs of the future to treat the metabolic syndrome which is an expanding overweight-related health threat characterized by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and accelerated atherosclerosis.
