Effect of Metformin and Rosiglitazone Over no Diabetic With Metabolic Syndrome Patients.

Summary

To compare the effect of insulin sensitizing drugs (metformin and rosiglitazone) over glucose homeostasis (GH) in no diabetic metabolic syndrome individuals. A randomized blinded clinical trial did in patients with metabolic syndrome (n=30), without diabetes. Prior to detailed information and signature of informed consent by patients were done three treatment groups by randomized technique; a) Placebo, b) Metformin (850 mg/day), c) Rosiglitazone (4 mg/day), treatment was administered for 8 weeks. GH was measured before and after treatment using oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and IR-index (Homeostatic Model). Determination was performed on weight, size, body mass index, plicometry, blood pressure, fasting glucose levels, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and insulin.
