Rosiglitazone diabetes drug molecule
Rosiglitazone diabetes drug molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the diabetes drug rosiglitazone. Atoms are represented as rods and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (white), oxygen (yellow), nitrogen (pink) and sulphur (green). Rosiglitazone, which is marketed under the name Avandia, belongs to a group of drugs known as thiazolidinediones that are used to treat type II diabetes. Rosiglitazone controls blood sugar levels by reducing the production and secretion of glucose by the liver and increasing the bodys sensitivity to insulin, the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. It requires that some insulin is produced by the pancreas and so cannot be used to treat type I diabetes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the Rosiglitazone diabetes drug molecule. The intricate structure is represented by color-coded rods, with carbon in blue, hydrogen in white, oxygen in yellow, nitrogen in pink, and sulphur in green. Marketed under the name Avandia, Rosiglitazone belongs to a group of drugs called thiazolidinediones that are specifically designed to treat type II diabetes. With its remarkable properties, Rosiglitazone effectively regulates blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production and secretion from the liver while enhancing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Insulin plays a crucial role as it governs blood glucose levels within our bodies. It is important to note that this medication requires some insulin production from the pancreas; thus, it cannot be used for treating type I diabetes. The image beautifully captures the complexity and precision involved in pharmaceutical chemistry. Its significance lies not only within biochemistry but also within medical science as an essential tool for combating diabetes. This single computer artwork provides valuable insights into molecular structures and pharmacological compounds. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation of scientific advancements through this stunning photograph print.
