General description

Troglitazone is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is associated with liver injury. Troglitazone functions as an inducer of cytochrome3A.

Application

Troglitazone has been used as a reagent in adipocyte differentiation medium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PPARγ agonist; anti-diabetic thiazolidinedione (TZD) with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activity; induces apoptosis via a p53 pathway.

Features and Benefits

This compound is featured on the Nuclear Receptors (PPARs) and Potassium Channels pages of the Handbook of Receptor Classification and Signal Transduction. To browse other handbook pages, click here.

Preparation Note

Studies using troglitazone have reported that it can increase AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK) and phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase in isolated rat extensor digitorum longus muscles1. Furthermore, analysis of troglitazone-mediated autophagy is reported to correlate with the stimulation of AMPK α2.

We previously reported brown adipocytes can proliferate even after differentiation. To test the involvement of mature adipocyte proliferation in cell number control in fat tissue, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice over-expressing cell-cycle inhibitory protein p27 specifically in adipocytes, using the

Insulin Signaling and Energy Homeostasis

Glucose metabolism is regulated by the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon. Insulin is released from pancreatic ß cells in response to high blood glucose levels and regulates glucose metabolism through its actions on muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.
