29
Q

A

Diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal distention related to increased delivery of oligosaccharides

30
Q

MOA of thiazolidinediones

A

Reduce insulin resistance by binding to the PPAR-y nuclear receptor

Promote redistribution of fat from central to peripheral locations

(Piolglitazone, Rosiglitazone)

31
Q

AE of thiazolidinediones

A

Weight gain, small reduction in HCT, mild increase in plasma volume

MOA of Sodium-Glucose Co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SLGT2)

A

*prox convoluted tubule
