The metabolic syndrome is defined as a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors with insulin resistance, including dyslipidemia, coagulation disturbances and hypertension. Activators of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) modulate several of the metabolic risk factors predisposing to atherosclerosis. Fibrates are hypolipidemic drugs acting through activation of PPAR alpha, whereas glitazones are insulin sensitizers activating PPAR gamma. In addition, these drugs exert pleiotropic anti-inflammatory actions. In this review, we will focus on the effects of fibrates and glitazones on biomarker modulation and their usefulness in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
