Sentence PPAR alpha activation in mice is sufficient to induce liver UCP-2 expression.

Sentence We thus conclude that the PPAR-alpha-mediated effects of BF on the expression of liver UCP2 may be one of the factors that helped to decrease insulin levels.

MedLine Reference 16782780:8
Sentence This study shows that PPARalpha activation can upregulate UCP-2 expression, which in turn enhances cyanide-induced necrotic cell death through an increase of mitochondrial dysfunction.

MedLine Reference 11782473:9
Sentence These data indicate that PPARalpha activators up-regulate UCP2 expression in hepatocytes through unknown proteins by increased transcription, and neither ROS nor TNFalpha production are the major causes for PPARalpha activators-induced UCP2 up-regulation.

Organ heart
MedLine Reference 11259402:1
Sentence We investigated in the adult rodent heart 1) whether changes in workload, substrate supply, or cytokine (TNF-alpha) administration affect UCP-2 and UCP-3 expression, and 2) whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) regulates the expression of either UCP-2 or UCP-3.

Sentence In fact, a PPAR response element was identified in the UCP promoter region ( 33 , 34 ), and PPARa activation in mice is sufficient to induce liver UCP-2 expression ( 35 ).

MedLine Reference 11897694:10195
Sentence In support of such a notion, the UCP-2 promoter contains a PPAR response element ( 25 ), and the PPAR gamma activator troglitazone has been found to increase UCP2 expression in rat pancreatic islets ( 26 ).

Sentence The significance, and specificity of the UCP-1 to -3 response by cotreatment with PPARß/delta and RXR agonists, are further highlighted by the observation that the cotreatment with the agonists for PPARalpha and -gamma in the presence of an RXR agonist relatively poorly induced UCP-2 and -3 mRNA expression (Fig. 4G ).
