CYP3A5 genetic variability influences sildenafil and metabolite in pulmonary hypertension

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Interindividual variability in sildenafil response among pulmonary hypertension patients (PH) may be influenced by CYP3A5 polymorphisms. CYP3A5*3 allele reduces CYP3A5 activity and affects sildenafil metabolism. This study investigated the associations between CYP3A5 genotype and plasma concentrations of sildenafil and N‐desmethyl sildenafil, as ...

Pioglitazone Protects Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase-Regulated Autophagy Pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of acute renal failure. Our previous studies have shown that pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ agonist used in type 2 diabetes, protects against renal IRI ...

Pioglitazone Enhances Cytosolic Lipolysis, β-oxidation and Autophagy to Ameliorate Hepatic Steatosis

Scientific Reports, 2017
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease closely contributes to the development of obesity and insulin resistance. Even though pioglitazone has been reported to effectively lessen hepatic steatosis in human studies, its molecular mechanism remains unclear. This
