GW 0742 is extensively used in research focusing on its activity as a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, particularly targeting the PPAR-δ subtype. This compound is valuable for studies aimed at understanding the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Researchers employ GW 0742 to investigate its role in enhancing endurance and metabolic rate, which contributes to insights into potential applications for increasing physical performance. Additionally, GW 0742 is used to explore its effects on inflammatory processes and insulin sensitivity, examining how activation of PPAR-δ influences these physiological responses. The research involving GW 0742 also extends to studying its impact on gene expression related to metabolism and inflammation.
