Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors [electronic resource] : discovery and recent advances / Jihan A. Youssef, Mostafa Z. Badr.

All three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subtypes share a high degree of structural homology while exhibiting differences in function, tissue distribution, and ligand specificity. In Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors: Discovery and Recent Advances, the authors trace the...
