Target intelligence / Profile preview

Insulin Sensitizer (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Other

Overview

An insulin sensitizer is a type of molecule or drug that enhances the responsiveness of cells to insulin, thereby improving glucose uptake and utilization in tissues such as muscle, fat, and liver. This action helps lower blood sugar levels and is particularly relevant in the management of conditions characterized by insulin resistance, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Other names: Insulin sensitivity enhancer

Mechanism of action

Enhances the responsiveness of cells to insulin, improving glucose uptake and utilization in tissues.

Biological functions

Enhances cellular response to insulinIncreases peripheral glucose uptakeModulates gene expression related to glucose and lipid metabolism

Disease associations
