Etymologies
- peroxi(de) + -some3. (American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition)
Examples
“Like the omega-3 essential fatty acids, nitrolinoleic acid activates nuclear receptors known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, or PPARs.”
“As you learned in chapter 2, the omega-3s activate nuclear receptors called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, or PPARs.”
“It is in the class of drugs known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists.”
The Washington Post: FDA investigates diabetes drug's safety
“In the study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, the researchers report that defective signaling for a protein called the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-ã (PPAR-ã) accounts for a portion of disease symptoms in cystic fibrosis, and that correction of the defective pathway reduces symptoms of the disease in mice.”
“Nature Medicine, the researchers report that defective signaling for a protein called the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) accounts for a portion of disease symptoms in cystic fibrosis, and that correction of the defective pathway reduces symptoms of the disease in mice.”
“In the new study, the researchers found that correcting the defective signaling pathway for a protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y (PPAR-y) reduced cystic fibrosis symptoms in mice.”
“Both drugs activate a transcription factor protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), which is a master regulator of cellular metabolism.”
“In the study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, the researchers report that defective signaling for a protein called the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) accounts for a portion of disease symptoms in cystic fibrosis, and that correction of the defective pathway reduces symptoms of the disease in mice.”
“Nature Medicine, the researchers report that defective signaling for a protein called the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor -?”
“In the study, researchers found that defective signaling for a protein called the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor -?”
