Ligant for peroxisome proliferation activating receptor (PPAR) receptors, a group of nuclear hormone receptors that are involved in the regulation of genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism is_____________?
Correct answer: A. Rosiglitgazone
- A. Rosiglitgazone
- B. Voglibose
- C. Exanatide
- D. Repaglinide
Explanation
Rosiglitazone activates PPAR-gamma, a nuclear receptor that regulates genes involved in insulin sensitivity and glucose and lipid metabolism. The other drugs act through different pathways and are not PPAR ligands.
