Relationships

NOTE: predicates are annotated in Biolink Model (v1.3.0)

Subject Predicate Object
Fenofibrate HAS METABOLITE Fenofibric Acid
Fenofibric Acid INCREASES ACTIVITY OF Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha INCREASES ABUNDANCE OF Lipoproteins, Hdl
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha DECREASES ABUNDANCE OF Cholesterol, Vldl
Lipoproteins, Hdl NEGATIVELY CORRELATED WITH Hypercholesterolemia
Cholesterol, Vldl POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH Hypercholesterolemia

Comment: Fenofibrate is pharmacologically inactive prodrug which undergoes rapid hydrolysis at the ester bond to form the active metabolite fenofibric acid.
