Pioglitazone

Research use only, not for human use.

Pioglitazone is a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) agonist, used to treat diabetes.

Pioglitazone is a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) agonist, used to treat diabetes.(In Vitro):Pioglitazone (0.5 or 1 μM, 5 days) can completely prevent AGEs (advanced glycation end-products)-induced β-cell necrosis and the increase of caspase-3 thereby avoiding the impaired viability caused by AGEs in pancreatic beta cell line HIT-T15.Pioglitazone (1 μM, 1 h) can stimulate insulin secretion induced by low glucose concentration and attenuate the GSSG/GSH ratio in cells cultured with AGEs.(In Vivo):Pioglitazone (oral gavage, 10 or 30 mg/kg, once daily, 14 days) can induce improvements in insulin resistance and diabetes that may be lipocalin-dependent in the liver but not in skeletal muscle.Pioglitazone (oral gavage, 10 mg/kg, once daily, 4 weeks) can significantly reduce body weight (BW), cardiac hypertrophy, elevated blood glucose levels and improve the associated dyslipidemia.

Animal Model:ob/ob and adipo-/- ob/ob mice with a C57Bl/6 backgroundDosage:10 or 30 mg/kgAdministration:Oral gavage; once daily; 14 daysResult:Showed no changes of serum-free fatty acid and triglyceride levels as well as adipocyte sizes in ob/ob and adipo-/- ob/ob C57BL/6 mice at 10 mg/kg but significantly reduced to a similar degree at 30 mg/kg.Also showed no changes of expressions of TNFα and resistin in adipose tissues of ob/ob and adipo-/- ob/ob mice at 10 mg/kg but decreased at 30 mg/kg.Animal Model:Male Wistar albino rats Dosage:10 mg/kg Administration:Oral gavage; once daily; 4 weeks Result:Decreased the elevated serum levels of both creatinine and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), TGF-β1 gene expression and regulated the expression of MMP-2/TIMP-2 system.
