This article presents abstracts of various research papers that were presented at a congress on inflammation organized at Pasteur Institute in Paris, France on March 26, 1004. In the paper "Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Gamma Is a Pivotal Key for Pro-Inflammatory Effect of Leptin on Human Epithelial Colonic Cells," researchers say that leptin, the product of the ob gene, regulates food intake, energy balance and lymphocyte functions. In the research paper "Anti-Inflammatory Potency of PPAR Ligands in Articular Cells," researchers conclude that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor superfam.
