Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator activated (PPAR)gamma plays a critical role in the control of not only adipocyte differentiation, lipid metabolism and immunity but also the barrier functions of epithelial and endothelial cells. In the present study, to investigate effects of PPAR gamma agonists on the tight junctional barrier of human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs), hTERT-transfected HNECs, which highly express both PPAR gamma and tight junction...
