Regulation of Glial Cell Functions by PPAR- Natural and Synthetic Agonists
Figure 1
Cellular targets of PPAR-γ agonists in neurodegenerative diseases. PPAR-γ
agonists can control neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and demyelination by
effecting several cellular targets and by several direct and indirect
mechanisms. PPAR-γ agonists can control glial activation, preventing a number of proinflammatory
activities that can contribute to myelin/OL damage and neurotoxicity PPAR-γ
agonists may also affect OLs and neurons, by preventing release inflammatory
mediators and/or promote the synthesis of soluble factors or membrane-bound
molecules that control glial activation.
