Abstract
The pathogeny of the metabolic syndrome (MetS ) is not fully elucidated, but a link between visceral obesity and the increase of the proinflammatory response was proven. Atherosclerosis, perceived as a metabolic complication, draws attention to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors- alpha (PPARα). PPARα receptors are transcription factors involved in lipid metabolism, inflammation and atheromatosis. Hence, it interferes in the pathogeny of cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases too (neurological, psychical, neoplasical). The study of the expression of PPARα and its modulation on different level may be beneficial in the treatment of metabolic syndrome, intervening in the modulation of another proinflammatory factors.
