Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to establish the safe PPARα agonist which is usable in chronic kidney disease situation. This study demonstrated that an angiotensin II receptor antagonist Irbesartan activates renal PPARα, and exerts renoprotective effects in murine protein overload nephropathy model. These findings would be useful to develop novel therapeutic strategy against chronic kidney disease.
