    Keywords : Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor PPAR 4 insulin sensitivity; insulin action; human skeletal muscle; primary cultured muscle cells; lipid-metabolism; glucose metabolism; AMP activated protein kinase AMPK ; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus;

    Abstract : Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) δ is a nuclear transcription factor which has been implicated in the regulation of lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle. In addition to the postural and locomotive functions of skeletal muscle, this organ has a major impact role on whole body metabolism. READ MORE

  4. 2. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity
