View Post: Rosiglitazone Side Effects
12 Nov 2009 by Love  
Rosiglitazone acts on the receptor PPAR gamma, which induces an increased sensitivity of cells to insulin, and therefore a better use of it. The rosiglitizone acts on adipocytes (fat cells), hepatocytes (liver cells) and muscle cells. ...

28 Sep 2009 by Alexandre, C. d. S., de Braganca, AC, Shimizu,...  
Rosiglitazone activates renal sodium- and water-reabsorptive pathways. We evaluated whether sirolimus induces renal wasting of magnesium and potassium, attempting to identify the tubule segments in which this occurs. ...
