Abstract

Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione (TZD) antihyperglycemic agent introduced in 1999 for the treatment of type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. Another TZD, rosiglitazone, is also used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Troglitazone has been withdrawn from clinical use, and other TZDs, such as ciglitazone, have not proceeded into clinical use. Pioglitazone, like other TZDs, improves insulin action mainly by activation of the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma is most strongly expressed in adipose tissue and weakly expressed in liver and skeletal muscle, and activation of PPAR-gammain these tissues reinforces the effects of insulin. Pioglitazone may exert effects on other tissues that express PPAR-gamma ..... © 2007
