PPARG agonist rosiglitazone can elevate ADIPOR2 expression in hepatocytes
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, July 3rd, 2006
"Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that plays a critical role in the development of type 2 diabetes via interaction with adiponectin receptors 1 (ADIPOR1) and 2 (ADIPOR2). Rosiglitazone is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARG) agonist that is widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that rosiglitazone regulates lipid and glucose metabolism through modulation of the expression of adiponectin receptors in the liver," scientists in People's Republic of China report.
