Pterostilbene regulates lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle through PPARδ stabilization

Caption

Researchers found that pterostilbene reduced lipid accumulation in cultured mouse skeletal muscle cells by stabilizing PPARδ and enhancing fatty acid oxidation. Rather than directly activating PPARδ, the compound prevented its degradation, revealing a previously unknown mechanism that may inform future nutritional strategies for metabolic health.
