Open AccessIdentification of a novel selective agonist of PPARγ with no promotion of adipogenesis and less inhibition of osteoblastogenesis
Nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) plays an important role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. However, current PPARγ-targeting drugs such as thiaz...
