Clinical studies have suggested that pioglitazone, an insulin sensitizer, has a stronger effect in women than in men. To determine the sex difference in the pharmacokinetics of pioglitazone, we examined the plasma and white adipose tissue levels of pioglitazone and its active metabolites (M-II, M-III and M-IV) in male and female rats treated with a single or repeated oral administration of pioglitazone (10 mg/kg). The AUCs of pioglitazone (149.6 +/- 22.6 vs. 103.3 +/- 14.0 mug.h/ml; P
