Effect of different nutrients on PPARs modulation.

Nutrients PPARs Regulation References
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
n-3 fatty acids Activate both PPARα and PPARγ and lead to prevention of inflammation in adipocytes [109,115]
n-6 fatty acid Inhibitors of PPAR receptor signalling and regulate metabolic network [109]
Oleoylethanolamide Activate PPARα and induce lipolysis [114]
Palmitoylethanolamide Activate PPARα and provide anti-inflammatory activity [114]
Conjugated Linoleic acid (CLA) Isomers
9Z, 11E-CLA Enhance PPAR-γ activation and exerts strong anti-cancer effects [119,154]
10E, 12Z-CLA Inhibits the PPAR-γ activation causing inflammation, IR and adipocyte delipidation [155]
9Z, 11Z-CLA and 9Z, 11E-CLA Enhanced activation of PPARβ/δ in preadipocytes [122]
Dietary Amino acids
Glutamine Increase the expression of PPARγ and prevent metabolic stress [125]
Arginine Decrease the jejunal TNFa and increase the expression of PPARγ and beneficial against gut injury [81]
Vitamins
Vitamin-A [Beta Carotene (BC)] BC supplementation can reduce the activity of PPAR-γ [138]
Vitamin- E (Tocopherols) α-tocopherol modulate PPAR-γ expression better than γ-tocopherol [143,144]
1,25-dihydroxy vitamin-D3 Decrease the expression of PPAR-γ2 and regulate lipid metabolism [152]
Phytochemicals
Isoflavone Act as a ligand for PPAR to regulate lipid metabolism [156]
Quercetin Inhibits the activity of all isoform of PPARs except that of PPAR-γ and prevent accumulation of fat in the liver [119]
Lectins Up-regulate the PPAR-γ2 and provide an adipogenic effect on mesenchymal cells [155]
Alliin Activates the PPAR-γ and provides a cardioprotective effect [157]
Allicin Inhibit the PPAR-γ2 and therefore inhibits the differentiation and inflammation of the human preadipocytes [158]
Curcumin Activates the PPAR-γ and confer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity [159]
Resveratrol Down-regulate PPAR-γ1−3 mRNA expression in humans and provide anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects [160]
Triterpenes Suppress PPAR-γ expression and prevent cancer development [161]
Polysaccharides Suppress PPAR-γ expression and exert anti-cancerous activity [161]
