1 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha is required for the neurotrophic effect of oleic acid in neurons. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
2 As oleic acid has been reported to be a ligand and activator of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), we focus on this family of receptors. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
3 As oleic acid has been reported to be a ligand and activator of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), we focus on this family of receptors. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
4 Consequently, we investigated the involvement of PPARalpha (Nr1c1) in oleic acid-induced neuronal differentiation. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
5 Consequently, we investigated the involvement of PPARalpha (Nr1c1) in oleic acid-induced neuronal differentiation. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
6 Our results indicate that oleic acid activates PPARalpha in neurons. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
7 In addition, the effect of oleic acid on neuronal morphology, growth-associated protein 43 and microtubule-associated protein 2 expression decreases in neurons after PPARalpha has been silenced by small interfering RNA. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
8 Taken together, our results suggest that PPARalpha could be the receptor for oleic acid in neurons, further broadening the range of functions attributed to this family of transcription factors. Oleic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Homo sapiens
