Description

General description

A thiazolidinedione compound that acts as an anti-diabetic agent and serves as a potent and selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-g (PPARg) (K_d ~40 nM) in fat cells. Shown to reduce fatty acid uptake and ameliorate lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in animal models of type II diabetes. Reported to activate both a1- and a2-containing AMPK complexes. Unlike troglitazone, it does not induce the activity of P4503A4. Significantly improves the differentiation of C3H10T1/2 stem cells into adipocytes. Shown to block estrogen synthesis by interfering with androgen binding to aromatase, but without affecting aromatase mRNA or protein expression.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Reconstitution
