    activate nuclear receptors to regulate metabolism and inflammation

    PPAR Agonists, or Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Agonists, are compounds that activate PPARs, which are nuclear receptor proteins that regulate gene expression. These receptors play a crucial role in metabolism, inflammation, and cell differentiation, making PPAR agonists valuable in treating conditions like diabetes, obesity, and certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia.
