PPARs, Cardiovascular Metabolism, and Function: Near- or Far-from-Equilibrium Pathways by Yves Lecarpentier, Victor Claes, Jean-Louis Hébert

“…Dysfunction of clock genes and PPARγ may lead to hyperphagia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death, In pathological conditions, regulatory processes of the cardiovascular system may bifurcate towards new states, such as those encountered in hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and heart failure. Numerous of these oscillatory mechanisms, organized in time and space, behave far from equilibrium and are “dissipative structures”.…”
