Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to a subfamily of transcription nuclear factors. Three isoforms of PPARs have been identified: alpha, beta/delta and gamma, encoded by different genes and distributed in various tissues. They play important roles in metabolic processes like regulation of glucose and lipid redistribution. They also have anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory as well as antihypertensive functions. There is good evidence that ligands of PPARs reduce tissue injury associated with ischemia and reperfusion. The potential utility of PPAR ligands in ischemia and reperfusion will be discussed in this review.
