Thiazolidinediones are activators of the nuclear receptor PPARγ with proven efficacy on
glucose homeostasis. However, treatment with these drugs often results in fluid retention
and edema. Recent studies establish a role for PPARγ in renal sodium reabsorption,
providing a mechanism for the plasma volume expansion induced by these drugs.
