Role of PPAR 𝛼 in Hepatic Carbohydrate Metabolism

Figure 2

Influence of PPARα on hepatic glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. The different fates of glycolytic products and gluconeogenic precursors are depicted, together with the regulatory effects of PPAR . Blue arrows show breakdown of glucose via glycolysis, PPP and TCA cycle; purple arrows indicate gluconeogenic steps. Genes which were proven to be directly regulated by PPAR are presented as a full green arrow. Stimulatory effects which were only proven by treatment with PPAR ligands are shown as a dashed bright green arrow. An effect that was only observed in PPAR mice is depicted as a dark green dashed arrow. Genes in which a PPRE was identified, but no in vivo activation by PPAR was observed are presented with a dark green dotted arrow. Genes which were only suggested to be stimulated by PPAR are indicated with a grey dotted arrow. A suppressive effect of PPAR is shown with a red mark. 6PDGH: 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase; ALT: alanine transaminase; AQP: aquaporin; FDP: fructose-di-phosphatase; G6Pase: glucose-6-phosphatase; G6PDH: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; GLUT2: glucose transporter 2; cGPDH: cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; MCT: monocarboxylate transporter; mGPDH: mitochondrial glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; PC: pyruvate carboxylase; PDH: pyruvate dehydrogenase; PDK4: pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4; PEPCK: phosphoenolpyruvate kinase; PFK: phosphofructokinase; Taldo1: transaldolase 1; TCA: tricyclic acid cycle.
