How It Works

Gliclazide: Stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells; Pioglitazone: Activates PPAR-gamma receptors, increasing insulin sensitivity

Mechanism Steps

1Gliclazide binds to SUR1 on pancreatic beta cells
2Closes ATP-sensitive potassium channels
3Depolarizes beta cell membrane
4Opens voltage-gated calcium channels
5Increases intracellular calcium
6Stimulates insulin exocytosis
7Pioglitazone activates PPAR-gamma receptors
8Increases transcription of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism
9Enhances insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, muscle, and liver
10Reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis
