General description
Pioglitazone hydrochloride consists of poly-morphs, form I and form II. It is an oral antidiabetic agent, that is a member of the thiazolidinedione group.
Application
Pioglitazone hydrochloride has been used:
- to administer to mice model and treated the hepatoma cell line to study its effect on regulating insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) in diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice
- in drug preparation to analyze its effects on shortening and calcium transport in ventricular myocytes from the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) type 2 diabetic rat
- to treat HepG2 cells with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists to examine its effect on TOMM40-, APOE- and APOC1-mRNA levels
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pioglitazone hydrochloride is a PPARγ agonist and thiazolidinedione (TZD) anti-diabetic. Pioglitazone is a selective agonist of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) and to a lesser extent PPAR-α.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride is usually used to treat type-II diabetes. It has the ability to block hepatic gluconeogenesis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the most common liver disorder in the Western world. It is commonly associated with insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidaemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by steatosis

Preclinical studies, observational studies, and clinical trials suggest that thiazolidinediones (TZDs) reduce bone mineral density (BMD) and increase fracture risk. Most of the evidence on the skeletal effects of TZDs is from studies of rosiglitazone. We set out to investigate

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists have been shown to ameliorate diabetic nephropathy, but much less are known about their effects in non-diabetic nephropathies. In the present study, metabolic parameters, blood pressure, aortic endothelial function along with molecular and structural

It may be possible to achieve insulin sensitivity through the recently identified mitochondrial target of thiazolidinediones (mTOT), thereby avoiding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ)-dependent side effects. In this phase IIb clinical trial, 258 patients with type 2 diabetes completed a 12-week

Our objective was to determine if the insulin-sensitizing drug pioglitazone acutely reduces insulin secretion and causes metabolic deceleration in vivo independently of change in insulin sensitivity. We assessed glucose homeostasis by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic and hyperglycemic clamp studies and energy expenditure by
