In this review, the effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) ligands on atherosclerosis is examined. The PPAR-gamma agonist thiazolidinediones are currently indicated for the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the PPAR-alpha agonist fibrates are used in dyslipidaemia. Here their mechanism of action and the pre-clinical and clinical evidence for the use of these medications for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic disease is explored. In addition, the role of PPAR-delta and the possibilities for the role of dual-binding agonists are examined.
