Carvacrol, a component of thyme oil, activates PPARα and γ and suppresses COX-2 expression[S]
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the rate-limiting enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, plays a key role in inflammation and circulatory homeostasis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are… Expand

Two different promoters direct expression of two distinct forms of mRNAs of human platelet‐activating factor receptor
The human platelet‐activating factor (PAF) receptor gene exists as a single copy on chromosome 1. We identified two 5′‐noncoding exons, each of which has distinct transcriptional initiation sites.… Expand

DHA attenuates postprandial hyperlipidemia via activating PPARα in intestinal epithelial cells[S]
It is known that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)α, whose activation reduces hyperlipidemia, is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) could… Expand
