activate receptors to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism
PPAR-gamma agonists, also known as Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma agonists, are a class of drugs that activate the PPAR-γ receptor, a type of nuclear receptor involved in regulating genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism. These agonists are commonly used in the treatment of conditions like type 2 diabetes because they help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.
