Description

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma-2 is an important regulator of adipose tissue metabolism, insulin sensitivity and inflammatory response. Recent studies have identified klotho (KL) as a target gene for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARg) [2141]. Mutant mice with a lowered expression of Pparg had a reduced lifespan compared to wild type [2142], however adipose tissue-specific PPARg heterozygous mice exhibited significant improvement in insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and showed an increased resistance to paraquat-induced oxidative stress [3665]. The level of PPARs (including PPARG) is reduced with age and caloric restriction in mice appears to prevent these alteration, suggesting common mechanisms [2143].

Mutations in PPARG may be one of the causes of type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hyptertension [2144] and a polymorphism of PPARG has been associated to early atherosclerosis [2145]. Defects in PPARG may also be associated with colon cancer [2146]. Genome-wide association studies have identified a paraoxonase Pro/Ala gene polyporphism which is associated to human longevity [2147].
