Zuoqing granules attenuate ulcerative colitis via macrophage polarization modulation: involvement of the PPAR-γ/NF-κB/STAT1 signaling axis

BackgroundAlthough our prior clinical study demonstrated the efficacy of Zuoqing granules (ZQGs) in treating ulcerative colitis (UC), the underlying immunomodulatory mechanisms remained unclear. This study systematically investigated ZQG’s therapeutic effects through macrophage polarization modulati...
