Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear receptor super family (Dreyer et al., 1992). This transcription factor is activated either by the binding of 15-deoxy-Δ12, 14Jpros-tagandin J2 or by thiazoladinediones, a class of synthetic ligands (Forman et al., 1995; Kliewer et al., 1995; Lehman et al., 1995). PPARγ is expressed in many tissues but is found in the highest concentration in white and brown adipose tissue, macrophages, and the colon. This receptor has been the focus of numerous studies that have implicated it in multiple biological processes including adipogenesis, glucose homeostasis, atherogenesis, inflammation, and cancer (Braissant et al., 1996;
