The nuclear receptor superfamily consists of 48 mammalian transcription factors that regulate nearly all aspects of development, inflammation, and metabolism. Two subclasses, the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) and Liver X Receptors (LXRs), are lipid-sensing receptors that have critical roles in lipid and glucose metabolism. The parallel epidemics of obesity and diabetes shine a spotlight on the potential for therapeutic manipulation of PPARs and LXRs to combat these diseases. In recognition of this, a recent Keystone Symposium was devoted to these metabolic receptors. Here, we summarize some of the major highlights and future projections discussed at the meeting.
核受体超家族由48种哺乳动物转录因子组成，这些转录因子几乎调节发育、炎症和代谢的各个方面。两个亚类，即过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体（PPARs）和肝脏X受体（LXRs），是脂质感应受体，在脂质和葡萄糖代谢中起关键作用。肥胖症和糖尿病的并行流行凸显了通过治疗手段调控PPARs和LXRs来对抗这些疾病的潜力。认识到这一点，最近的一次基石研讨会专门讨论了这些代谢受体。在此，我们总结会议上讨论的一些主要亮点和未来展望。
