The synthetic TZD PPAR-g agonists are widely prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and have also been shown to be efficacious in a number of CNS disease models [21]. Currently, two TZD agonists, Actos (pioglitazone) and Avandia (rosiglitazone), are FDA approved for the treatment of diabetes. PubMed:21718217

When a higher dose of pioglitazone (7 days/40 mg/kg/day) was used in 10-monthold transgenic mice overexpressing the APP V717I mutation, a 20-- 25% decrease in plaque burden was observed with significant reduction in Ab42 levels within the brains of these animals [61]. PubMed:21718217
Furthermore, the treatment of APP/PS1 mouse model of AD with pioglitazone (80 mg/kg/day) for 9 days lowered plaque burden by ~ 50% and reversed behavioral deficits in contextual fear conditioning assay. PubMed:21718217

Moreover, pioglitazone seems to be an effective therapeutic approach targeting Aβ clearance via similar mechanisms to those of rosiglitazone (Mandrekar-Colucci et al. 2012) PubMed:29626319
