Efficacy of Lower Doses of Pioglitazone after Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack In Patients with Insulin Resistance
CONCLUSIONS: Lower doses of pioglitazone appear to confer much of the benefit with less adverse effects than the full dose. Further study is needed to confirm these findings so that clinicians may optimize dosing of this secondary prevention strategy in stroke patients. This article is protected by copyright.

Hormesis and Endothelial Progenitor Cells
Dose Response. 2022 Feb 23;20(1):15593258211068625. doi: 10.1177/15593258211068625. eCollection 2022 Jan-Mar.ABSTRACTHormetic-biphasic dose response relationships are reported herein for human endothelial progenitor cells involving estradiol, nicotine, the anti-diabetic agent pioglitazone, resveratrol, and progesterone. In general, these studies demonstrate the capacity of these agents to enhance EPC proliferation and angiogenesis functional applications, having a focus on repairing endothelial tissue damage due to acute injury (e.g., stroke), as well as damage from chronic conditions (e.g., atherosclerosis) and normal agi...
