Abstract:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a crucial role in the genetic regulation of lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. There is increasing evidence to suggest that PPARs may have a significant impact on the development and progression of acne, including its role in regulating lipid production, inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation, and reducing acne-related inflammation. As such, PPARs present themselves as promising therapeutic targets for both the prevention and treatment of acne. This article provides an overview of the role of PPARs in the pathological processes underlying acne, with particular emphasis on inflammation and lipid regulation.
