Because PGC-1alpha helps control fat metabolism, it might be useful for developing treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes
Scientific Claim
PGC-1alpha's regulatory function in lipid metabolism may be relevant for obesity and Type 2 diabetes treatment
Original Statement
“In particular, its regulatory function in lipid metabolism makes it an inviting target for pharmacological intervention in the treatment of obesity and Type 2 diabetes.”

Assessment Explanation
The study uses 'inviting target' which appropriately conveys potential rather than certainty. This is consistent with the evidence level (expert opinion) and the fact that this is a narrative review without primary data.
