Therapeutic Strategy Details
Strategy ID: | S01 |
Strategy: | Improve insulin resistance |
Other Terms: | insulin sensitizer; insulin resistance; glucose tolerance |
Related Targets: | Biguanide: increases 5-AMP activated protein kinase signaling; SGLT-2 inhibitor; Thiazalidinedione: selective PPAR-γ agonists; GLP-1 agonist |
Related Drugs: | Metformin; Empagliflozin; Canagliflozin; Rosiglitazone; Pioglitazone; Liraglutide |
Mechanism: | T2DM results from multiple organ abnormalities and various pathophysiological abnormalities. It has been linked to insulin resistance and obesity, indicating that T2DM and NAFLD have similar pathophysiological underpinnings. Therapeutic concepts such as thiazolidinediones (glitazones) for treating T2DM also show some efficacy in the treatment of NASH. |
