The angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma modulator telmisartan has been recently demonstrated to reduce plasma triglycerides in nondiabetic and diabetic hypertensive patients. The present study investigates the molecular mechanisms of telmisartans hypolipidemic actions, in particular its effect on the PPARalpha pathway. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS; Regulation of PPARalpha target genes by telmisartan was studied by real-time PCR and Western immunoblotting in vitro and in vivo in liver/skeletal muscle of mice with diet-induced obesity. Activation of the PPARalpha ligand binding domain (LBD) was investigated using transactivation assays.
