Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors and obesity A small group of nuclear hormone receptors that may be of interest for the treatment of obesity is the so-called peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs). These receptors bind to and are activated by a number of drugs used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes.

Asthma Inhalers Many inhalers contain steroids, like prednisone, to treat inflammation. Others have a type of drug called a bronchodilator to open up your airways. Some have both -- this is known as a combination inhaler. Anti-inflammatory asthma inhalers prevent asthma attacks and reduce swelling and mucus in your airways. They include: 1  Steroids (Aerospan, Alvesco, Asmanex, Flovent, Pulmicort, and Qvar).

- Breathing treatments include medications that treat respiratory infections, chronic lung diseases, asthma attacks, and respiratory emergencies. Types of breathing treatments include: Antimicrobial medications to treat respiratory infections. Examples include pentamidine (Nebupent), ribavirin (Virazole), and tobramycin (TOBI). Bronchodilator medications to help relax and open airways. Examples include ipratropium (Atrovent)and metaproterenol (Alupent).

Thiazolidinedione Thiazolidinediones or TZDs act by activating PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors), a group of nuclear receptors, with greatest specificity for PPARγ (PPAR-gamma, PPARG). They are thus the PPARG agonists subset of PPAR agonists.

Bronchodilator A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing resistance in the respiratory airway and increasing airflow to the lungs.Bronchodilators may be endogenous (originating naturally within the body), or they may be medications administered for the treatment of breathing difficulties.ome examples of anticholinergics are tiotropium (Spiriva) and ipratropium bromide. Tiotropium is a long-acting, 24 hour, anticholinergic bronchodilator used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Only available as an inhalant, ipratropium bromide is used in the treatment of asthma and COPD.

Beta2-agonists (bronchodilators) Taking them more often is a sign of poorly controlled asthma. This means you should visit your allergist / immunologist to have your prescription adjusted. Examples of these short-acting medications include: albuterol (AccuNeb, Proventil HFA, ProAir HFA, Ventolin HFA) and levalbuterol (Xopenex, Xopenex HFA). Long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs) are taken on a daily basis to relax the muscles lining the airways that carry air to the lungs.

Bronchodilators and Asthma Short-acting bronchodilators are used as a quick relief or rescue medication, while long-acting bronchodilators can be used every day to control asthma -- in conjunction with an inhaled steroid. For treating asthma symptoms, there are three types of bronchodilators: beta-agonists, anticholinergics, and theophylline. These bronchodilators are available in inhaled, tablet, liquid, and injectable forms, but the preferred method of taking the beta-agonists and anticholinergics is by inhalation.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) 1 Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) may be used in pill form to treat a COPD flare-up or in an inhaled form to prevent flare-ups. 2  They are often used if you also have asthma. 3  Other medicines include methylxanthines, which generally are used for severe cases of COPD.ost people with COPD find that medicines make breathing easier. Some COPD medicines are used with devices called inhalers or nebulizers. It's important to learn how to use these devices correctly.

COPD Medications COPD Medications. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to control the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Most people with COPD take long-acting medicine every day to help shortness of breath. In addition, short-acting medicine is used on an only-when-needed basis to decrease shortness of breath. For many, a combination of medicines is prescribed. The important thing to remember is that there is no best drug regimen.

- Some are prescribed with bronchodilators because these two medications can work together to make breathing more effective. Fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), and prednisolone are the ones doctors commonly prescribe for COPD. 1  Fluticasone comes as an inhaler that you use once or twice daily. 2  Some people report headaches, sore throat, a change in their voice, and allergic reactions.

- Recently, selective dual orexin receptor antagonists, such as suvorexant and almorexant, have been shown to promote sleep onset and maintenance in clinical trials for patients with insomnia. In new work, Uslaner and colleagues compared sleep-promoting doses to the cognitive-impairing doses for an orexin receptor antagonist, DORA-22, versus sleep drugs currently in use: zolpidem, diazepam, or eszopiclone.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors are taken every day to help prevent COPD exacerbations. The only PDE4 inhibitor available is roflumilast (Daliresp). Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) may be used in pill form to treat a COPD flare-up or in an inhaled form to prevent flare-ups. They are often used if you also have asthma. Other medicines include methylxanthines, which generally are used for severe cases of COPD.

PPARG (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) PPARG (3p25.2) / SYN2 (3p25.2) TSEN2 (3p25.2) / PPARG (3p25.2) The PPAR gamma gene, a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subfamily of nuclear hormone receptors, is implicated in adipocyte differentiation and function. In order to regulate the transcription of target genes, the PPAR protein needs to form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs).

Aloxi Most reports have been associated with concomitant use of serotonergic drugs (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, mirtazapine, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, and intravenous methylene blue).
