Improvements in Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Using Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Γ Ligand, Rosiglitazone

Abstract: were confirmed to be adipocytes by light microscopy. Gene expression levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Results: Although adipocyte size measurements between IR and IS groups did not differ significantly, the IR group had a higher small to large cell ratio (1.66Ϯ 1.03 vs. 0.94 Ϯ 0.50, P ≤0.05). Adiponectin, PPAR␥1, PPAR␥2, and GLUT4 all showed 2-3 fold lower levels of expression in the IR group (n=5) compared to the IS group (n=5). In contrast, there were no significant differences in Adipsi… Show more
