What is drug thiazolidione?
I'm doing a project on this for my Biomedical class. Thiazolidione is a drug that is used to treat diabetes and prevent obesity.What_is_thiazolidione
Can an overdose of thiazolidione be fatal?
yes
Why would someone have traces of the drug thiazolidione in her blood?
They are a diabetic. And this drug is used to treat type 2 diabetes.
What are the side effects of thiazolidione?
side effects are: liver failure, swelling, heart failure, weight gain (caused by water retention), macular edema-swelling in the retina (which leads to blindness).
How does thiazolidione work?
Thiazolidinediones work by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) in the cell nucleus, which helps regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. By activating PPAR-gamma, thiazolidinediones help improve insulin sensitivity, decrease glucose production in the liver, and increase glucose uptake in muscle and fat cells. This ultimately leads to lower blood glucose levels and improved control of diabetes.
