Abstract excerpt
The thiazolidinedione class of insulin-sensitizing, antidiabetic drugs interacts with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma). To gain insight into the role of this nuclear receptor in insulin resistance and diabetes, we conducted metabolic studies in the PPAR-gamma gene knockout mouse model. Because homozygous PPAR-gamma-null mice die in development, we studied glucose metabolism in mice...
