Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Gemfibrozil is a lipid-lowering agent that functions as an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα). Ligand binding to PPARα drives transcriptional regulation of genes controlling lipid and glucose metabolism, adipose tissue differentiation, and inflammation. Increased expression of lipoprotein lipase enhances the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, suppressing fatty acid synthesis and altering cellular lipid transport dynamics. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
