Pioglitazone (U 72107) potassium is an orally active and selective PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor) agonist with high affinity binding to the PPARγ ligand-binding domain with EC50 of 0.93 μM and 0.99 μM for human and mouse PPARγ, respectively. Pioglitazone potassium can be used in diabetes research[2][3][4]. | [in vivo]
Pioglitazone potassium (oral gavage, 10 or 30 mg/kg, once daily, 14 days) can induce improvements in insulin resistance and diabetes that may be lipocalin-dependent in the liver but not in skeletal muscle[3].
Pioglitazone potassium (oral gavage, 10 mg/kg, once daily, 4 weeks) can significantly reduce body weight (BW), cardiac hypertrophy, elevated blood glucose levels and improve the associated dyslipidemia[4].
| Animal Model: | ob/ob and adipo-/- ob/ob mice with a C57Bl/6 background[3] | | Dosage: | 10 or 30 mg/kg | | Administration: | Oral gavage; once daily; 14 days | | Result: | Showed no changes of serum-free fatty acid and triglyceride levels as well as adipocyte sizes in ob/ob and adipo-/- ob/ob C57BL/6 mice at 10 mg/kg but significantly reduced to a similar degree at 30 mg/kg.
Also showed no changes of expressions of TNFα and resistin in adipose tissues of ob/ob and adipo-/- ob/ob mice at 10 mg/kg but decreased at 30 mg/kg.

| Animal Model: | Male Wistar albino rats[4] | | Dosage: | 10 mg/kg | | Administration: | Oral gavage; once daily; 4 weeks | | Result: | Decreased the elevated serum levels of both creatinine and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), TGF-β1 gene expression and regulated the expression of MMP-2/TIMP-2 system. |
