Abstract
As the incidence of Type 2 diabetes has reached near epidemic proportions, the quest for novel therapies to combat this disorder has intensified dramatically. In recent years, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family has received tremendous attention as perhaps an ideal target class to address the multiple metabolic anomalies associated with the diabetic state. This review focuses on a variety of novel PPAR approaches currently being investigated for Type 2 diabetes or the metabolic syndrome, including the highly potent selective PPAR agonists, PPAR combination agonists and alternative PPAR ligands.Entities:
