Application

Pioglitazone hydrochloride has been used:
  • to administer to mice model and treated the hepatoma cell line to study its effect on regulating insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) in diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice
  • in drug preparation to analyze its effects on shortening and calcium transport in ventricular myocytes from the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) type 2 diabetic rat
  • to treat HepG2 cells with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists to examine its effect on TOMM40-, APOE- and APOC1-mRNA levels

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pioglitazone hydrochloride is usually used to treat type-II diabetes. It has the ability to block hepatic gluconeogenesis.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride is a PPARγ agonist and thiazolidinedione (TZD) anti-diabetic.
