Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Muraglitazar, a dual PPARalpha/gamma agonist, caused a robust increase in body weight in db/db mice. The purpose of the study was to see if this increase in weight was due to oedema and/or adipogenesis. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: KEY RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:
