Abstract
Thiazolidinediones are activators of the nuclear receptor PPARgamma with proven efficacy on glucose homeostasis. However, treatment with these drugs often results in fluid retention and edema. Recent studies establish a role for PPARgamma in renal sodium reabsorption, providing a mechanism for the plasma volume expansion induced by these drugs.Entities:
