Pioglitazone 58-70 erythropoietin Homo sapiens 85-99 20540652-1 2010 BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess the effect of long-term pioglitazone treatment on erythropoietin responsiveness and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients on hemodialysis. Pioglitazone 55-67 erythropoietin Homo sapiens 81-95 20540652-4 2010 RESULTS: Pioglitazone effectively reduced erythropoietin dose and maintained the target hemoglobin levels by improving insulin resistance up to the end of the study. Pioglitazone 9-21 erythropoietin Homo sapiens 42-56 20540652-9 2010 Erythropoietin responsiveness improved with a reduction in erythropoietin dose and may be associated with the improvement in insulin resistance due to long-term pioglitazone treatment. Pioglitazone 161-173 erythropoietin Homo sapiens 0-14
