PPAR (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors)

PPARs, or Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors, are a group of proteins inside your cells that help regulate how your body uses fats, sugars, and other nutrients. They act like switches, turning on or off genes that control metabolism, energy production, and fat storage. PPARs play important roles in maintaining overall health, influencing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation. They respond to certain signals, including specific drugs or nutrients, to help your body adapt to different energy needs and keep systems balanced.
