ABSTRACT: Background
As members of the nuclear receptor (NR) family of transcription factors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) regulate essential cellular processes, including lipid metabolism, glucose uptake, cell proliferation, and programmed cell death through ligand-mediated activation. Within the PPAR subfamilies, PPAR-γ (PPARG) is crucial to the development of fat cells, sensitivity to insulin, apoptosis, and metastasis. Furthermore, it demonstrates properties that counteract fibrosis and inflammation, thus establishing itself as a notable target for therapeutic interventions against conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cancer. PPARG is reported to be a promising target for patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Globally, colorectal cancer ranks as the th
