Protective Actions of PPAR-γ Activation in Renal Endothelium

Renal endothelial damage is pivotal in the initiation and progression of renal disease. Damaged renal endothelium may be regenerated through proliferation of local endothelium and circulation-derived endothelial progenitor cells. Activation of the PPAR-γ-receptors present on endothelial cells affec...
