Macrophage peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ as a therapeutic target to combat Type 2 diabetes

Pascual, Gabriel, Ricote, Mercedes, Hevener, Andrea L·2007·Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets

Abstract

The peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors and is the molecular target of antidiabetic thiazolidinediones that exert insulin sensitizing effects in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and the liver. In addition to the well described effects of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma in insulin target tissues, it is now apparent that its expression in macrophages is critical in the regulation of macrophage phenotype, whole body glucose metabolism and in mediating, in part, the antidiabetic actions of thiazolidinediones. As macrophages are major contributors to tissue inflammation and are resident in tissues responsible for maintaining glucose homeostasis, the therapeutic potential of these cells in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes is of significant clinical interest.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
