Gene expression suggests a T helper 17 response in mice when peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is antagonized.

<p>Gene expression data from colonic tissue of malnourished C57BL/6 mice was analyzed using quantitative real-time RT-PCR and reported as values normalized to β-actin. IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, CCL20, and CXCL1 were quantified at day 5PI (mice per group: n = 10) (A–E) while IL-6, TGF-β, and IL-17 were quantified 14 days PI (n = 10) (F–H). Asterisks indicate values where differences are statistically significant (<i>p</i><0.05) while bars connect groups where comparisons are made.
