Abstract

Recently, anti-diabetic thiazolidinediones, pharmacological agonist ligands of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), have been shown to induce either protective or permissive effects towards colon epithelium tumoral cell growth. Several attractive explanations have been proposed but no final answer to these is currently provided. It is not the purpose of the authors to bring this final answer but to offer another attractive hypothesis which might help our approach to explore further this exciting field of medical research.
