PPARG and Hepatic fibrosis: Apart from apoptosis signaling, it is believed that puerarin also alleviates liver fibrosis via inhibition of excessive collagen deposition through peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) expression and the PI3K/Akt pathway, attenuation of inflammatory response through the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway, and suppression of PARP-1 and mitochondrial dysfunction [38–40].
