The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) plays an important role in the metabolism of lipoproteins and fatty acids, and seems to protect against the development of atherosclerosis. To evaluate the possible protective role of PPARalpha on cardiovascular function, the effect of the PPARalpha agonist, fenofibrate was assessed with respect to ischaemia/reperfusion injury and endothelial function in mice.
