1. Gemfibrozil activates the
PPAR alpha receptor in
nucleus. PPAR alpha combines
with the RXR alpha receptor.
This complex regulates gene
transcription and
translation
2. There is a decreased
expression of enzymes
involved in fatty acid
biosynthesis, leading to a
reduction in fatty acid
3. There is an increased
expression of fatty acid
transporters and metabolic
enzymes which remove fatty
acid from the blood and
breaks it down in the
mitochondria
4. There is an increased
expression of enzymes which
a part of HDL and are
essential to HDL synthesis,
thus increasing plasma
levels of HDL
5. There is decreased
expression of proteins that
form part of vLDL, thus
decreasing vLDL levels
6. There is upregulation of
enzymes involved in
lipolysis and downregulation
of enzymes which inhibit
triglyceride catabolism
