Sentence Pioglitazone stimulates growth arrest as well as adipose differentiation of NIH-3T3 cells expressing PPARgamma ectopically.

Organism Rattus norvegicus

Tissue medulla
Organ renal
MedLine Reference 14638618:3
Sentence Pioglitazone treatment increased PPARgamma expression and activity in OP rats, suggesting a possible direct ligand-related effect of pioglitazone.

Organism Rattus norvegicus
MedLine Reference 12384507:0
Sentence Pioglitazone, like other thiazolidinediones, is an insulin-sensitizing agent that activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and influences the expression of multiple genes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

CellLineName THP I
CellType macrophage
MedLine Reference 15279882:3
Sentence Prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha), a PARgamma inhibitor, abrogated the up-regulation of PAF-AH mRNA by pioglitazone, suggesting that PPARgamma activation is involved in the induction of PAF-AH by pioglitazone.

Organism Rattus norvegicus
Organ heart
MedLine Reference 15737646:4
Sentence Pioglitazone increased body weight and improved metabolic control, cardiac PPARgamma, glut-4, and alpha-MHC expression levels in diabetic ZDF rats.

MedLine Reference 12527812:1034
Sentence TRO-induced apoptosis does not seem to be mediated through PPARgamma activation, because other structural analogs of TRO, such as RSG and pioglitazone, both of which stimulate the PPARgamma, do not seem to cause increased cell death (Day, 1999 ; Lebovitz et al., 2002 ).

Sentence In fact, the anti-diabetic TZDs BRL49653 and pioglitazone elicit a strong activation of PPARgamma, with relatively little activity on PPARalpha and delta ( Lehmann et al., 1995 ; Forman et al., 1995 ).

Sentence On the other hand, PPAR-gamma is activated by polyunsaturated fatty acids, prostaglandin J2, and the thiazolidinedione group of drugs that includes troglitazone, rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone ( 1 , 2 ).

Organism Mus musculus
MedLine Reference 9790963:0
Sentence Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione drug (TZD) which potently and specifically stimulates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) and sensitizes cells to insulin.

MedLine Reference 10983737:1
Sentence Pioglitazone activates the nuclear peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), which leads to the increased transcription of various proteins regulating glucose and lipid metabolism.
