The present invention provides a retinoid-related receptor (except retinoic acid receptors) function regulating agent comprising a compound represented by the formula:
1
wherein one of R
1
and R
2
is an optionally substituted monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group or an optionally substituted monocyclic aromatic heterocyclic group containing one heteroatom, and the other is a hydrogen atom and the like; B is a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle (except 1,3-azole); A is an optionally substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group or an optionally substituted aromatic heterocyclic group; and R
3
is a hydrogen atom and the like, or a salt thereof, which is useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance or the like.
