human ... PPARA(5465)

Application

Fenofibrate has been used:
  • to study its effect on plasma lipids, liver phenotype and gene expression
  • to study its impact on endothelium-dependent vasodilatation of thoracic aorta
  • to administer to NASH knock-in mice along with a high fat diet (HFD) to study its effect

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fenofibrate increases high density lipoprotein levels by reducing cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression. It is used in treating the condition of increased cholesterol levels in the blood, abnormal lipid levels in the body and also hypertriglyceridaemia. Fenofibrate is a lipid regulating drug and proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) mediates its action. It decreases the plasma levels of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein. By this fenofibrate allows better flow-mediated dilatation and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis. Fenofibrate is also known to reduce uric acid levels.
