Abstract

See full text

Methods are provided for assessing a patient being treated with a peroxisome-proliferator-activator-receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) agonist or a thiazolidinedione (TZD), or having a condition treatable with a peroxisome-proliferator-activator-receptor-γagonist or a thiazolidinedione. Methods include measuring a galectin-3 concentration or a change in a galectin-3 concentration in a body fluid of a patient being treated with a peroxisome-proliferator-activator-receptor-γ agonist or a thiazolidinedione. A comparison to galectin-3 levels or changes in comparable patients provides information indicative of congestive heart risk.
