Popis: Objective— Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ–induced upregulation in skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation would predict the modulation of lipid/lipoproteins. Methods and Results— GW501516 (2.5, 5.0, or 10.0 mg) or placebo was given for 12 weeks to patients (n=268) with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol Conclusion— GW501516 produced significant changes in HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apoA1, and apoB. Fewer very LDL and larger LDL support a transition toward less atherogenic lipoprotein profiles. These data are consistent with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ being a potentially important target for providing cardiovascular protection in metabolic syndrome-like patients.
