CHEBI_71554 (PPARgamma agonist) = A PPAR modulator which activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma.

CHEBI_50864 (insulin-sensitizing drug) = An agent which overcomes insulin resistance by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma). => does it mean the same as "A PPARgamma agonist which overcomes insulin resistance."? Has related synonym = PPAR-gamma agonist.

Thank you,
