Abstract excerpt
Microglia, which are the primary inflammatory cells of the brain, can undergo phenotypic switching between M1 and M2 polarization, which have opposing effects on inflammation. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear receptor family of ligand-inducible transcription factors, and PPARγ is known to regulate M2 macrophage polarization. Previous studies have shown that the...
