Abstract
⺠Sepsis is a disorder characterized by systemic inflammatory response to an infection. ⺠Decrease in brain capillary density and increase in leukocyte rolling/adhesion occur. ⺠PPARγ activation increases capillary density and decreases leukocyte rolling/adhesion. ⺠PPARγ activation is protective against cerebral microvascular dysfunction in sepsis.
