Thiazolidinediones 28-46 insulin Homo sapiens 433-440 16311221-8 2005 Finally, the role of thiazolidinediones as modulators of FFA-induced insulin resistance will be discussed.

Thiazolidinediones 49-67 insulin Homo sapiens 107-114 16185166-7 2005 This review examines the evidence that the existing therapies for Type 2 diabetes that were developed to lower plasma glucose (metformin) or improve insulin sensitivity (thiazolidinediones) may also have islet-protective function. Thiazolidinediones 170-188 insulin Homo sapiens 149-156 16285076-7 2005 (5) Randomised comparative trials show that, when glycaemia is no longer controlled by a sulphonylurea plus metformin, adding a daily insulin injection is more effective in lowering HbA1c levels than the addition of acarbose and as effective as adding a glitazone. Thiazolidinediones 254-263 insulin Homo sapiens 134-141 16599348-6 2006 Thiazolidinediones improve insulin sensitivity and have beneficial effects on pancreatic beta-cell function and hepatic glucose production.

Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 74-81 15990591-7 2005 Treatments aimed at weight loss remain a primary option; among pharmacological interventions, insulin sensitizers (glitazones and metformin) have confirmed beneficial effects on both biochemical and histological data, but new treatments are on the horizon. Thiazolidinediones 115-125 insulin Homo sapiens 94-101 15727952-14 2005 Augmentation of fatty acid disposal in skeletal muscle, potentially reducing intramyocellular triglyceride content, may represent one mechanism for the lipid-lowering and insulin-sensitizing effects of thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 202-220 insulin Homo sapiens 171-178 15930975-13 2005 The favourable effect of non-specific insulin sensitizers such as glitazone may also help to reduce this risk.

Thiazolidinediones 149-159 insulin Homo sapiens 166-173 15903057-6 2005 The use of glitazones makes possible a largely causal treatment of insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 11-21 insulin Homo sapiens 67-74 15828230-3 2005 While PPARalpha potentiates fatty acid catabolism in the liver and is the molecular target of the lipid-lowering fibrates, PPARgamma is essential for adipocyte differentiation and hypertrophy, and mediates the activity of the insulin sensitizing thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 246-264 insulin Homo sapiens 226-233 15798962-10 2005 The improvement in liver function parameters known to be associated with fatty liver in the present study, together with an improvement in fatty liver reported for another class of insulin sensitizers, biguanides, suggests that thiazolidinediones may have a beneficial effect on fatty liver.

Thiazolidinediones 12-30 insulin Homo sapiens 68-75 15683603-6 2005 Thiazolidinediones improve insulin resistance and lower insulin concentrations, which is beneficial because hyperinsulinemia is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 27-34 15655035-9 2005 Adiponectin levels are increased by thiazoledinedione treatment, and this effect might be important for the enhanced insulin sensitivity induced by thiazolidinediones.

Thiazolidinediones 48-66 insulin Homo sapiens 13-20 17877135-7 2005 According to several surveys the drugs reducing insulin resistance, such as biguanides or thiazolidinediones, as well as those improving lipid disorders (fibrates) seem to be efficient, but it needs to be confirmed in randomized clinical trials. Thiazolidinediones 90-108 insulin Homo sapiens 48-55 15673477-2 2005 The role of PPAR gamma in macronutrient metabolism has received particular attention, for three main reasons: first, it is the target of the thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a novel class of insulin sensitisers widely used to treat type 2 diabetes; second, it plays a central role in adipogenesis; and third, it appears to be primarily involved in regulating lipid metabolism with predominantly secondary effects on carbohydrate metabolism, a notion in keeping with the currently in vogue "lipocentric" view of diabetes.

Thiazolidinediones 206-224 insulin Homo sapiens 167-174 15614340-7 2004 Because endothelial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, the GATE study may provide the rationale and impetus for the aggressive treatment of insulin-resistant patients with glitazone therapy. Thiazolidinediones 225-234 insulin Homo sapiens 193-200 15813654-7 2005 The thiazolidinediones, also called glitazones, are insulin sensitisers that enable peripheral tissues to utilise insulin more effectively.

Thiazolidinediones 139-157 insulin Homo sapiens 119-126 10725292-1 2000 BACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) is activated by fatty acids, eicosanoids, and insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones (TZDs). Thiazolidinediones 159-163 insulin Homo sapiens 119-126 10707574-3 2000 Therefore, it seems rational to treat cirrhotic patients with such an insulin sensitizer as thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 92-110 insulin Homo sapiens 70-77 10707578-3 2000 Troglitazone, one of the thiazolidinediones, improves not only insulin sensitivity but also hyperandrogenism and ovulatory function. Thiazolidinediones 25-43 insulin Homo sapiens 63-70 10707567-4 2000 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are useful to reduce insulin resistance especially in obesity. Thiazolidinediones 20-24 insulin Homo sapiens 47-54 10707569-6 2000 As the thiazolidinediones are clearly excellent drugs to diabetics with insulin resistance, we should check hepatic function and monitor symptomes of hepatic damage. Thiazolidinediones 7-25 insulin Homo sapiens 72-79 10622252-1 1999 Thiazolidinediones are a new class of antidiabetic agent that improve insulin sensitivity and reduce plasma glucose and blood pressure in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 70-77 10926309-2 2000 With a focus on clinical efficacy, this paper discusses the results from the 20 major therapeutical trials published in the years 1997-1999, that evaluated the new insulinsensitizing thiazolidinediones Rosiglitazone and Pioglitazone and the new insulin-releasing potassium channel blockers Repaglinide and Nateglinide. Thiazolidinediones 183-201 insulin Homo sapiens 164-171 11346220-10 2000 Drug treatments with positive effects on insulin sensitivity include some angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitors as well as newer drug groups, such as the glitazones and moxonidine, a centrally active agent with effects on the recently described imidazoline I-1 receptor that inhibits central sympathetic tone. Thiazolidinediones 157-167 insulin Homo sapiens 41-48 11202216-2 2000 alpha-Glucosidase inhibitors slow carbohydrate absorption, resulting in reduced postprandial hyperglycemia; thiazolidinediones increase insulin sensitivity, especially in muscle and adipocytes; metformin decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis; sulfonylureas result in prolonged increases in insulin secretion; and meglitinide causes rapid, short-lived increases in insulin secretion. Thiazolidinediones 108-126 insulin Homo sapiens 136-143 11467410-5 2000 Compared to pre-dosing, insulin-stimulated GS activity and G6P content were increased by this TZD: GS independent activity (p = 0.02), GS total activity (p = 0.005), GS fractional activity (p = 0.06) and G6P content (p = 0.02). Thiazolidinediones 94-97 insulin Homo sapiens 24-31 11467410-6 2000 The change in GS activity induced by in vivo insulin (insulin-stimulated minus basal) was also increased by this TZD: GS independent activity (p = 0.03) and GS fractional activity (p = 0.04). Thiazolidinediones 113-116 insulin Homo sapiens 45-52 11467410-6 2000 The change in GS activity induced by in vivo insulin (insulin-stimulated minus basal) was also increased by this TZD: GS independent activity (p = 0.03) and GS fractional activity (p = 0.04). Thiazolidinediones 113-116 insulin Homo sapiens 54-61 11467410-7 2000 We conclude that the TZD R-102380 improves insulin action at the skeletal muscle in part by increasing the activity of glycogen synthase. Thiazolidinediones 21-24 insulin Homo sapiens 43-50 9621947-5 1998 Cortisol and insulin are potent stimulators of leptin expression, and expression is attenuated by beta-adrenergic agonists, cAMP, and thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 134-152 insulin Homo sapiens 13-20 10322388-0 1999 Mechanisms by which Thiazolidinediones Enhance Insulin Action. Thiazolidinediones 20-38 insulin Homo sapiens 47-54 10322388-1 1999 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are an exciting new class of insulin-sensitizing drugs being used currently for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 55-62 10322388-1 1999 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are an exciting new class of insulin-sensitizing drugs being used currently for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Thiazolidinediones 20-24 insulin Homo sapiens 55-62 10535741-6 1999 At present, metformin and thiazolidinediones are the only therapies for T2DM that directly address aspects of insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 26-44 insulin Homo sapiens 110-117 11139830-1 1999 The discovery of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) as the molecular target for antidiabetic thiazolidinediones has heralded a new era in the approach to understanding the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and its relationship to cardiovascular disease. Thiazolidinediones 119-137 insulin Homo sapiens 217-224 11475273-2 1999 The thiazolidinediones are a new class of drugs that act as insulin sensitizers with well-documented-efficacy in the control of hyperglycemia in patients with overt diabetes. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 60-67 11475273-4 1999 This review will summarize our current notions of the mechanism of action of thiazolidinediones, which appears to involve a fascinating interplay between the partitioning of triglyceride stores, circulating free fatty acids and insulin signaling pathways. Thiazolidinediones 77-95 insulin Homo sapiens 228-235 11475273-5 1999 A detailed understanding of the action of thiazolidinediones will provide new insights into the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, diabetes and some of the causes of increased cardiovascular mortality in these conditions. Thiazolidinediones 42-60 insulin Homo sapiens 112-119 10643211-11 1999 The thiazolidinediones increase peripheral insulin sensitivity and are effective as both monotherapy and combination therapy. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 43-50 10193691-14 1999 Nevertheless, as the first member of a new class of oral antidiabetic agents, the thiazolidinediones, troglitazone offers an effective treatment option in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through its action of improving insulin sensitivity. Thiazolidinediones 82-100 insulin Homo sapiens 226-233 10199144-8 1999 The new "glitazones" (thiazolidinediones) is used clinically to improve insulin sensitivity. Thiazolidinediones 9-19 insulin Homo sapiens 72-79 10199144-8 1999 The new "glitazones" (thiazolidinediones) is used clinically to improve insulin sensitivity. Thiazolidinediones 22-40 insulin Homo sapiens 72-79 10199153-1 1999 Troglitazone is a new oral insulin-sensitizing agent from the thiazolidinedione group of compounds that has been developed in Japan Thiazolidinediones improve the insulin sensitivity at muscle, adipose tissue and liver. Thiazolidinediones 132-150 insulin Homo sapiens 27-34 10199153-1 1999 Troglitazone is a new oral insulin-sensitizing agent from the thiazolidinedione group of compounds that has been developed in Japan Thiazolidinediones improve the insulin sensitivity at muscle, adipose tissue and liver. Thiazolidinediones 132-150 insulin Homo sapiens 163-170 10079680-17 1999 Combination of insulin with newer drugs, like thiazolidinediones, may perhaps achieve this. Thiazolidinediones 46-64 insulin Homo sapiens 15-22 10548525-5 1999 Because p85alphaPI-3K is a major component of insulin action, the induction of its expression might explain, at least in part, the insulin-sensitizing effect of the thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 165-183 insulin Homo sapiens 46-53 10447513-4 1999 Secondly, the discovery that its synthetic ligands, the thiazolidinediones, are promising insulin sensitizing drugs, which are currently being developed for the treatment of Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Thiazolidinediones 56-74 insulin Homo sapiens 90-97 10480188-5 1999 A new therapeutic class, the thiazolidinediones (troglitazone, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone) has recently completed the family of insulin-sensitizing agents. Thiazolidinediones 29-47 insulin Homo sapiens 129-136 11220287-11 1999 Recent advances in type 2 diabetes therapy have seen the development of the thiazolidinediones (troglitazone, rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone), which improve insulin resistance in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled by diet and exercise therapy. Thiazolidinediones 76-94 insulin Homo sapiens 158-165 11220289-14 1999 It is therefore currently hoped that the introduction of a new class of insulin-sensitizing agents, the thiazolidinediones, may attenuate these processes. Thiazolidinediones 104-122 insulin Homo sapiens 72-79 11220295-1 1999 AIM: Rosiglitazone is the most potent of the thiazolidinediones, a novel class of oral antidiabetic agents that reduce blood glucose levels by sensitizing peripheral tissues to insulin. Thiazolidinediones 45-63 insulin Homo sapiens 177-184 10227562-4 1999 TZDs act additively with other types of oral antidiabetic agents (suphonylureas, metformin and acarbose) and reduce the insulin dosage required in insulin-treated patients. Thiazolidinediones 0-4 insulin Homo sapiens 120-127 10227562-4 1999 TZDs act additively with other types of oral antidiabetic agents (suphonylureas, metformin and acarbose) and reduce the insulin dosage required in insulin-treated patients. Thiazolidinediones 0-4 insulin Homo sapiens 147-154 10052651-0 1999 Thiazolidinediones--the new insulin enhancers. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 28-35 10052651-5 1999 By interacting with a family of nuclear receptors known as peroxisome proliferator activated receptors thiazolidinediones are thought to enhance the actions of insulin, thereby increasing insulin dependent glucose disposal and reducing hepatic glucose output. Thiazolidinediones 103-121 insulin Homo sapiens 160-167 10052651-7 1999 Thus, thiazolidinediones by unlocking insulin resistance act as a key to glycemic control and hence are likely to prove a useful and rational therapy in NIDDM and possibly other disorders resulting from insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 6-24 insulin Homo sapiens 38-45 10052651-7 1999 Thus, thiazolidinediones by unlocking insulin resistance act as a key to glycemic control and hence are likely to prove a useful and rational therapy in NIDDM and possibly other disorders resulting from insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 6-24 insulin Homo sapiens 203-210 9748292-1 1998 The thiazolidinediones troglitazone and BRL 49653 improve insulin sensitivity in humans and animals with insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 58-65 9748292-1 1998 The thiazolidinediones troglitazone and BRL 49653 improve insulin sensitivity in humans and animals with insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 105-112 9568706-0 1998 BRL 49653 blocks the lipolytic actions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha: a potential new insulin-sensitizing mechanism for thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 121-139 insulin Homo sapiens 87-94 9514873-2 1998 Although thiazolidinediones are commonly thought of as insulin-sensitizing agents, these drugs have opposing and antagonistic effects to that of insulin on CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) gene expression in fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Thiazolidinediones 9-27 insulin Homo sapiens 55-62 9514873-4 1998 When added in combination, thiazolidinediones block the suppression of C/EBP alpha mRNA by insulin; however, thiazolidinediones do not block the insulin-induced decline in GLUT4 mRNA, indicating that repression of C/EBP alpha mRNA is not required for insulin to suppress expression of a C/EBP alpha-responsive gene such as GLUT4. Thiazolidinediones 27-45 insulin Homo sapiens 91-98 9514873-5 1998 Instead, insulin may regulate GLUT4 mRNA by inactivating C/EBP alpha through dephosphorylation as well as by inducing the expression of the dominant-negative form of C/EBP beta (liver inhibitory protein), since both of these processes occur in the presence of thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 260-278 insulin Homo sapiens 9-16 9541719-3 1998 The thiazolidinediones (e.g. troglitazone), by improving insulin sensitivity of target tissues, appear to be a novel pathophysiologically interesting approach for the treatment of patients with NIDDM or impaired glucose tolerance. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 57-64 10212839-4 1998 In this brief review we discuss how the known and potential insulin sensitizers: metformin, appetite suppressants, thiazolidinediones, and the new class of centrally acting antihypertensive drugs, I1-receptor agonists, may work. Thiazolidinediones 115-133 insulin Homo sapiens 60-67 9449686-1 1998 UNLABELLED: The two isoforms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma1 and PPARgamma2), are ligand-activated transcription factors that are the intracellular targets of a new class of insulin sensitizing agents, the thiazolidinediones. Thiazolidinediones 238-256 insulin Homo sapiens 206-213 9449686-2 1998 The observation that thiazolidinediones enhance skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in obesity and in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), by activating PPARgamma, and possibly by inducing its expression, suggests that PPARgamma expression in skeletal muscle plays a key role in determining tissue sensitivity to insulin, and that PPARgamma expression may be decreased in insulin resistant subjects. Thiazolidinediones 21-39 insulin Homo sapiens 64-71 9312188-0 1997 Thiazolidinediones block tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced inhibition of insulin signaling. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 75-82 9312188-3 1997 Recently, a new class of compounds, the antidiabetic thiazolidinediones (TZDs), has been shown to improve insulin resistance in obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in both rodents and man. Thiazolidinediones 53-71 insulin Homo sapiens 106-113 9312188-3 1997 Recently, a new class of compounds, the antidiabetic thiazolidinediones (TZDs), has been shown to improve insulin resistance in obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in both rodents and man. Thiazolidinediones 73-77 insulin Homo sapiens 106-113 9312188-4 1997 Here we show that TZDs have powerful effects on the ability of TNF-alpha to alter the most proximal steps of insulin signaling, including tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and its major substrate, IRS-1, and activation of PI3-kinase. Thiazolidinediones 18-22 insulin Homo sapiens 109-116 9312188-8 1997 These data indicate that TZDs can specifically block certain actions of TNF-alpha related to insulin resistance, suggesting that this block may contribute to their antidiabetic actions. Thiazolidinediones 25-29 insulin Homo sapiens 93-100 15989661-2 1997 In these models, animals treated with thiazolidinediones had notable improvements in blood glucose levels, hepatic glucose output, peripheral insulin resistance, and serum lipid levels. Thiazolidinediones 38-56 insulin Homo sapiens 142-149 9342538-8 1997 Insulin and glucocorticoids increase leptin expression, whereas catecholamines, via beta-adrenergic receptors and cAMP, and long-chain fatty acids (and thiazolidinediones), via PPARy, inhibit leptin expression. Thiazolidinediones 152-170 insulin Homo sapiens 0-7 9287037-1 1997 Thiazolidinediones are potent antidiabetic compounds, in both animal and human models, which act by enhancing peripheral sensitivity to insulin. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 136-143 9314015-1 1997 The thiazolidinediones are a unique class of compounds that exert direct effects on the mechanisms of insulin resistance and result in improved insulin action and reduced hyperinsulinemia. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 102-109 9314015-1 1997 The thiazolidinediones are a unique class of compounds that exert direct effects on the mechanisms of insulin resistance and result in improved insulin action and reduced hyperinsulinemia. Thiazolidinediones 4-22 insulin Homo sapiens 144-151 15989661-3 1997 Mechanistic studies indicate that thiazolidinediones act at many intracellular sites and can influence several processes to increase cell sensitivity to insulin. Thiazolidinediones 34-52 insulin Homo sapiens 153-160 9200953-4 1997 Newly developed antidiabetic thiazolidinediones known as high affinity ligands for PPAR gamma improved insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 29-47 insulin Homo sapiens 103-110 15989634-5 1997 Thiazolidinediones are ligands for a specific subtype of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR), and decrease plasma glucose levels in both obesity and NIDDM, while at the same time reducing circulating insulin and free fatty acid levels. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 218-225 9128211-1 1997 Thiazolidinediones, insulin-sensitizing agents that lower insulin and lipid levels in insulin-resistant states, block agonist-induced Ca2+ entry into vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells in vitro and lower blood pressure in animals and humans in vivo. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 58-65 9231657-3 1997 In addition, thiazolidinediones improve insulin resistance in vivo by activating PPAR gamma. Thiazolidinediones 13-31 insulin Homo sapiens 40-47 9231657-9 1997 In addition, PPAR gamma mRNA was barely detectable in skeletal muscle, suggesting that improvement of insulin resistance with thiazolidinediones may not result from a direct effect of these agents on PPAR gamma in muscle. Thiazolidinediones 126-144 insulin Homo sapiens 102-109 9134273-8 1997 Diet and exercise are central, and novel orally active hyperglycemic agents such as the biguanides and the thiazolidinediones that sensitize diverse tissues to insulin offer particular promise. Thiazolidinediones 107-125 insulin Homo sapiens 160-167 9128211-1 1997 Thiazolidinediones, insulin-sensitizing agents that lower insulin and lipid levels in insulin-resistant states, block agonist-induced Ca2+ entry into vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells in vitro and lower blood pressure in animals and humans in vivo. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 58-65 8944206-10 1996 Another new class of drugs is the thiazolidine-diones, which seem to work by enhancing insulin action. Thiazolidinediones 34-53 insulin Homo sapiens 87-94 8922349-0 1996 Thiazolidinediones in the treatment of insulin resistance and type II diabetes. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 39-46 8922349-3 1996 Thiazolidinediones are a new class of orally active drugs that are designed to enhance the actions of insulin. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 102-109 8922349-5 1996 Clinical studies in patients with type II diabetes, as well as other syndromes characterized by insulin resistance, have demonstrated that thiazolidinediones may represent a safe and effective new treatment. Thiazolidinediones 139-157 insulin Homo sapiens 96-103 8828512-2 1996 The observations that PPAR alpha is a regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism and that the insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones are ligands for PPAR gamma suggest that cross-talk might exist between insulin signaling and PPAR activity, possibly through insulin-induced PPAR phosphorylation. Thiazolidinediones 109-127 insulin Homo sapiens 89-96 8828512-2 1996 The observations that PPAR alpha is a regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism and that the insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones are ligands for PPAR gamma suggest that cross-talk might exist between insulin signaling and PPAR activity, possibly through insulin-induced PPAR phosphorylation. Thiazolidinediones 109-127 insulin Homo sapiens 199-206 8828512-2 1996 The observations that PPAR alpha is a regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism and that the insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones are ligands for PPAR gamma suggest that cross-talk might exist between insulin signaling and PPAR activity, possibly through insulin-induced PPAR phosphorylation. Thiazolidinediones 109-127 insulin Homo sapiens 199-206 22745632-3 2012 Currently marketed drugs targeting this receptor, the thiazolidinediones (TZDs), have proven benefits on insulin resistance and hyperglycemia associated with T2D. Thiazolidinediones 54-72 insulin Homo sapiens 105-112 7648818-3 1995 Agents that reduce insulin resistance include the thiazolidinediones, which are very effective in animals. Thiazolidinediones 50-68 insulin Homo sapiens 19-26 22966224-5 2012 The frequent line of treatment to improve insulin sensitivity is the use of thiazolidinediones (TZD) which activate the nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (Ppargamma). Thiazolidinediones 76-94 insulin Homo sapiens 42-49 22966224-5 2012 The frequent line of treatment to improve insulin sensitivity is the use of thiazolidinediones (TZD) which activate the nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (Ppargamma). Thiazolidinediones 96-99 insulin Homo sapiens 42-49 8894498-11 1996 The most effective improvers of insulin action seem to be the thiazolidinediones, but they are not yet marketed. Thiazolidinediones 62-80 insulin Homo sapiens 32-39 15251529-6 1996 A new class of antidiabetic agents called the thiazolidinediones (not yet available for clinical use) apparently works by mainly reducing insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Thiazolidinediones 46-64 insulin Homo sapiens 138-145 22745632-3 2012 Currently marketed drugs targeting this receptor, the thiazolidinediones (TZDs), have proven benefits on insulin resistance and hyperglycemia associated with T2D. Thiazolidinediones 74-78 insulin Homo sapiens 105-112 34133753-0 2021 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) enhance insulin secretory response via GPR40 and adenylate cyclase (AC). Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 34-41 12670479-1 2003 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are insulin-sensitising drugs that are ligands for the nuclear receptor PPAR gamma. Thiazolidinediones 20-24 insulin Homo sapiens 30-37 34563556-6 2021 Moreover, some older antihyperglycemic drugs (metformin, thiazolidinediones), but also novel therapeutic concepts (new peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists, incretin mimetics, sodium glucose cotransporter inhibitors, modulators of energy metabolism) can directly or indirectly reduce insulin resistance. Thiazolidinediones 57-75 insulin Homo sapiens 299-306 12670479-1 2003 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are insulin-sensitising drugs that are ligands for the nuclear receptor PPAR gamma. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 30-37 34127848-6 2021 Clinically, PPARgamma activation by glitazones and PPARalpha activation by fibrates reduce insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia, respectively. Thiazolidinediones 36-46 insulin Homo sapiens 91-98 34133753-0 2021 Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) enhance insulin secretory response via GPR40 and adenylate cyclase (AC). Thiazolidinediones 20-24 insulin Homo sapiens 34-41 34133753-1 2021 Thiazolidinediones are synthetic PPARgamma ligands that enhance insulin sensitivity, and that could increase insulin secretion from beta-cells. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 64-71 34133753-1 2021 Thiazolidinediones are synthetic PPARgamma ligands that enhance insulin sensitivity, and that could increase insulin secretion from beta-cells. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 109-116 34221378-3 2021 Thiazolidinediones were first developed as insulin-sensitizers but also regulate gene transcription in multiple tissues, leading to systemic effects on metabolism, inflammation and vascular reactivity. Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 43-50 34417811-4 2021 Independent of the level of obesity and hepatic PPARgamma expression, the TZD treatment enhanced insulin sensitivity, associated with an increase in white adipose tissue (WAT) fat accumulation, consistent with clinical observations. Thiazolidinediones 74-77 insulin Homo sapiens 97-104 34407851-0 2021 Comparative efficacy of oral insulin sensitizers metformin, thiazolidinediones, inositol, and berberine in improving endocrine and metabolic profiles in women with PCOS: a network meta-analysis. Thiazolidinediones 60-78 insulin Homo sapiens 29-36 34407851-1 2021 BACKGROUND: Multiple oral insulin-sensitizing agents, such as metformin, thiazolidinediones, inositols, and berberine, have been proven safe and efficacious in improving the endocrine, metabolic, and reproductive abnormalities seen in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), providing more options for healthcare providers and patients. Thiazolidinediones 73-91 insulin Homo sapiens 26-33 34407851-11 2021 Thiazolidinediones, metformin + thiazolidinediones, and myo-inositol + D-chiro-inositol were associated with a lower insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) compared with that in metformin alone (mean differences: - 0.72 (95% CI (- 1.11)-(- 0.34)) to - 0.89 (95% CI (- 1.460)-(- 0.32))). Thiazolidinediones 0-18 insulin Homo sapiens 117-124 34407851-11 2021 Thiazolidinediones, metformin + thiazolidinediones, and myo-inositol + D-chiro-inositol were associated with a lower insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) compared with that in metformin alone (mean differences: - 0.72 (95% CI (- 1.11)-(- 0.34)) to - 0.89 (95% CI (- 1.460)-(- 0.32))). Thiazolidinediones 32-50 insulin Homo sapiens 117-124 34407851-13 2021 CONCLUSIONS: Ours is the first study to report that for women with PCOS, myo-inositol combined with D-chiro-inositol and metformin combined with thiazolidinediones appear superior to metformin alone in improving insulin resistance and decreasing total testosterone.
