The role of PPARα in cardiovascular diseases. PPARα is involved in cardiovascular diseases through lipid metabolism activation and inflammation inhibition. PPARα activation promotes mitochondrial function and lipid catabolism in the heart and cholesterol uptake in the liver. In atherosclerosis, PPARα activation leads to the decrease of inflammation in macrophages and VSMCs.
