Rosiglitazone has been investigated as an agent that may expedite body fat redistribution into a more feminine shape in trans women who have had little fat redistribution from hormone replacement therapy, due to thiozolidinediones' effects on body fat metabolism.
Common adverse effects include diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. [16] It has a small risk of causing low blood sugar . [ 16 ] High blood lactic acid level ( acidosis ) is a concern if the medication is used in overly large doses or prescribed in people with severe kidney problems .
The meta-analysis was not supported by an interim analysis of the trial designed to evaluate the issue, and several other reports have failed to conclude the controversy. This weak evidence for adverse effects has reduced the use of rosiglitazone, despite its important and sustained effects on glycemic control. [23] Safety studies are continuing.
Taking metformin may cause unpleasant side effects like diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach and, in rare cases, lactic acidosis. Don’t double up on metformin if you miss a dose.
Popular drugs for diabetes and weight loss could have an unexpected side effect.. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which are used to treat type 2 diabetes and/or obesity, were ...
Thiazolidinedione ligand dependent transactivation is responsible for the majority of anti-diabetic effects. The activated PPAR/RXR heterodimer binds to peroxisome proliferator hormone response elements upstream of target genes in complex with a number of coactivators such as nuclear receptor coactivator 1 and CREB binding protein, this causes upregulation of genes (for a full list see PPARγ):
Side effects include darkening of the eyelashes, darkening of the skin of the eyelid, darkening of the iris, mild stinging or reddening of the eye, and blurred vision. ... About 40% to 60% of ...
Troglitazone, like the other thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone and rosiglitazone), works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs).. Troglitazone is a ligand to both PPARα and – more strongly – PPARγ.
