The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) is a lipid-sensing transcriptional factor that has a role in gluco-oxidative stress and lipotoxicity. Forkhead box O (FoxO)s and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC)-1α are also known to regulate cell metabolism, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and oxidative stress during stressful conditions. We evaluated whether PPARα-FoxOs-PGC-1α signaling in overfed spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) has a protective role in the kidney.
