Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors: From Basic Science to Clinical ApplicationsAbout This Hardback A group of nuclear receptor proteins that function as transcription factors regulating the expression of genes are termed as peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs). They are also responsible for regulating cellular differentiation, development, tumorigenesis in higher organisms. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors also regulate fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism. The three types of peroxisome
