295 To specifically investigate the role of the Cd36 fatty acid transporter gene in the insulin sensitizing actions of thiazolidinediones, we studied the metabolic effects of pioglitazone in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) that harbor a deletion mutation in Cd36 in comparison to congenic and transgenic strains of SHR that express wild type Cd36. Our findings provide direct pharmacogenetic evidence that in the SHR model, Cd36 is a key determinant of the insulin sensitizing actions of a thiazolidinedione ligand of PPAR?.
