Thiazolidinediones
Another area of investigation concerns the role of the thiazolidinediones in CVD prevention. Rosigli­tazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-g agonist that is used in the treatment of type-2 diabetes, is also known to have anti-inflammatory effects. In 84 patients with stable, angio-graphically documented CAD and no diabetes who were randomized to rosiglitazone or placebo for [...]]]></description>
