Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Highly selective agonist at peroxisome proliferator activated receptors in tissues targeted by insulin such as adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver. Activation of these receptors improves control of glucose production, transport and utilisation through regulation of the transcription of insulin-responsive genes. This has the effect enhancing tissue sensitivity to insulin.
