Divergent effects of rosiglitazone on protein-mediated fatty acid uptake in adipose and in muscle tissues of Zucker rats
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) increase tissue insulin sensitivity in diabetes. Here, we hypothesize that, in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and heart, alterations in protein-mediated FA uptake are involved in the effect of TZDs. As a model, we used obese Zucker rats, orally treated for 16 days with 5...
