Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists can cause peripheral edema in susceptible individuals. To investigate the mechanistic basis underlying this adverse event, we performed a candidate gene analysis of patients enrolled in clinical trials of muraglitazar, an investigational PPARalpha/gamma dual agonist, and developed a cell culture-based gene expression assay and...
