Ciprofibrate and Pre-diabetes

Ciprofibrate is a PPARα ligand and is considered to be a major regulator of the lipid metabolism. PPARα regulates the genes involved in mitochondrial function and fat metabolism and is therefore abundantly expressed in tissues that require high rates of FFA oxidation, like for instance in the heart and activation of PPARα in the heart may have beneficial effects on mitochondrial function and fat oxidative capacity.
