Abstract: With the improvement of living standards, long-term intake of high calorie diet and lack of exercise, the excess energy is stored in body in the form of fat, and leads to obesity. Obesity has been officially listed as a chronic disease by WHO in 1997. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARs) regulate the adipocytes proliferation and differentiation binding with trans-acting element of the target gene. It has important theoretical significance and practical value of understanding the structural features, expression characteristics and mechanism of PPARs, to a series of diseases caused by obesity. This article reviewed from the aspect of the protein structure and gene expression of PPAR gamma, the ligands of activating of PPAR gamma, interaction between different type of PPARs, the function of PPAR gamma in lipid metabolism and natural ligands for the differentiation of adipocytes. The strategy of preventive of obesity was put forward from the angle of adipocytes proliferation regulation by PPAR gamma.

Key words: obesity, trans-acting elements, adipocyte, expression regulation
