Abstract
Our results suggest that pioglitazone increases insulin sensitivity, at least partly, by PPARγ-AdipoR2-mediated AMPK phosphorylation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In conclusion, the upregulation of AdipoR2 expression may be one of the mechanisms by which pioglitazone improves insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
