Table 4. Medicinal plants modifying activities of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ).

Shown are studies in which the indicated plants have been shown to mediate effects probably via PPRγ. Table is constructed in alphabetical order of plant species. Where possible these have been alphabetized, but studies in which multiple plant species or extracts were used in a single study are shown at the top of the table.
