Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 22879602
Year 2012
Title Gemfibrozil, a lipid-lowering drug, increases myelin genes in human oligodendrocytes via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-β

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result Furthermore, gemfibrozil treatment also led to the recruit ment of PPAR- to the PLP promoter in vivo in the spinal cord of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice and suppres sion of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis symptoms in PLP-T cell receptor transgenic mice.
Mechanism/pathway Gemfibrozil, an FDA-approved drug for hyperlipidemia, stimulates the expression of myelin genes in primary human oligodendroglia via PPAR-β.
