THE ADIPOCYTE AND ENDOTHELIAL CELL-SPECIFIC ROLE OF PEROXISOME PROLIFERATOR-ACTIVATED RECEPTOR GAMMA IN BREAST TUMOURIGENESIS

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ plays a role in tumorigenesis. Previous studies with PPARγ(+/-) mice suggest PPARγ normally suppresses dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast, and other, tumor progression. Since many cell types associated with the mammary gland express PPA...
