PPARG and Sepsis: In that regard, wehave recently shown that gene and protein levels of PPAR-γ inthe liver decreased by approximately 50% at 20 hours after the onset of sepsis.Pretreatment with curcumin for 3 days at 0.24 μmol/kg body weight in these septic rats produced45% and 65% increase in PPAR-γ mRNA and protein levels, respectively.
