Research progress of PPARγ regulation of cholesterol and inflammation in Alzheimer's disease

Peroxidase proliferator receptors (PPARs) are defined as key sensors and regulators of cell metabolism, transcription factors activated by ligands, involved in lipid, glucose and amino acid metabolism, participating in the processes of cell differentiation, apoptosis, inflammation regulation, and acute and chronic nerve damage. Among them, PPAR gamma is expressed in different brain regions and can regulate lipid metabolism, mitochondrial disorders, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis. It has anti-inflammatory activity and shows neuroprotection. The regulation of A beta levels in Alzheimer's disease involves cholesterol metabolism and inflammation, so this article first analyzes the biological functions of PPAR gamma, then mainly focuses on the relationship between cholesterol and inflammation and A beta, and elaborates on the regulation of PPAR gamma on key proteins and the corresponding molecules, which provides new ideas for the treatment of AD.
