Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ ), a nuclear receptor superfamily member, plays a major role in lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. We investigated the role of PPARγ in colonic epithelial cell turnover and carcinogenesis in colon because PPARγ is strongly expressed in colon...
