TREATMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASE WITH PPAR MODULATORS

摘要

Methods and compositions are provided for treating a host having a gastrointestinal (GI) disease by administering to the host a composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of a modulator of a Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor (PPAR), particularly a modulator of PPAR gamma . Screening methods are also provided for identifying PPAR modulators which utilize cells derived from gastrointestinal tissue which express PPARs.
