Popis: Aim: This study aimed to chart the time course and durability of the effects of rosiglitazone, a potent thiazolidinedione-based peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist, on hepatic steatosis and intramyocellular lipid in an animal model of obesity, the Zucker Fatty (ZF) rat. Methods and Results: Rosiglitazone (3 mg/kg/day p.o.) significantly reduced both liver fat content (by 59%; p
