Boiogito (BOT) ameliorates insulin resistance and diabetes in several animal models;however, the underlying mechanisms for these in vivo effects remain unclear. Thiazolidine derivatives, which are peroxisome prolifera...
Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation(mtFAO)is a key metabolic pathway required for energy production in the liver,in particular during periods of fasting.One major consequence of drug-induced impairment of mtFAO is hepa...
Background: Existence of myocardial insulin resistance (IR) has been reported in type II diabetics (T2- DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Improvement in heart and skeletal muscle IR after thiazolidinedione’s the...

Objective In order to investigate the potential mechanisms in troglitazone-induced apoptosis in HT29 cells,the effects of PPARγ and POX-induced ROS were explored.Methods [3-(4,5)-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenylt...
Aim: To investigate the molecular interaction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor y (PPARy) with 17β-estradiol (E) in the regulation of adipogenesis. Methods: Female ovariectomized (OVX) mice and di...

Aim: To study the probable mechanisms of the anti-glomerulosclerosis effects induced by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARy) agonists in rat intraglomerular mesangial cells (MCs). Methods: Ce...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors. Recent results have shown that agonists of PPARy, such as troglitazone...
