Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
bezafibrate stimulates VLCAD gene expression to 44% in normal and to 150% in VLCAD-deficient fibroblasts, increases activity 2.2fold in normal fibroblasts, induces a dose-dependent increase in palmitate oxidation capacities in cells from patients with the myopathic form of VLCAD deficiency, complete normalization of cell fatty acid oxidation capacities after exposure to 500 mM for 48 h, but not in cells from severely affected patients Homo sapiens
