Methods for modulating PPAR biological activity for the treatment of diseases caused by mutations in the CFTR gene

摘要

This invention features methods for treating diseases associated with mutations in the CFTR gene by administering PPAR agonists, specifically PPARγ, PPARα, and PPARδ agonists, PPAR inducers, and/or antioxidants. Also disclosed are screening methods for identifying therapeutically useful candidate compounds.
