Abstract

Nitro oleic acid and related metabolites are agonists of PPAR-γ. Surprisingly, nitro oleic acid is a more potent agonist of PPAR-γ, relative to nitro linoleic acid. Thus, nitro oleic acid and its metabolites, as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrug forms, are candidate therapeutics for the treatment of type-2 diabetes, which results from insulin resistance accompanying the improper functioning of PPAR-γ.
