简要总结
The objectives of this study are to compare the effects of rosiglitazone and metformin on insulin stimulated glucose uptake in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Whole body, and skeletal muscle, heart and adipose tissue insulin stimulated glucose uptake is measured during euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp and positron-emission tomography scanning before and 26 weeks after treatment in 48 newly diagnosed subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will be randomized to receive either rosiglitazone or metformin or placebo, according to a simple randomization procedure with double blinding.
详细描述
Insulin resistance is a pivotal underlying metabolic abnormality in most subjects with type 2 diabetes. Clinical experience has proved metformin to be efficacious treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. Rosiglitazone is a novel antidiabetic agent, which has been shown to decrease fasting plasma glucose concentrations in animal models and in clinical trials. There are no previous studies that compare the effects of rosiglitazone and metformin on insulin stimulated glucose uptake in subjects with type 2 diabetic in different organs.
PET is very sensitive in detecting changes in glucose uptake and blood flow and, is the method of choice to investigate the effects of medical interventions. Due to sensitivity of these functional parameters only moderate or small number of subjects need to be studied. This makes it feasible to perform tightly controlled intervention studies in a very cost-effective way.
The objectives of this study are to compare the effects of rosiglitazone and metformin on insulin stimulated glucose uptake in subjects with type 2 diabetes. PET measurements on myocardium, skeletal muscle and subcutaneous and visceral fat are performed at baseline and at the end of the treatment period. Furthermore, the effect of exercise on skeletal muscle blood flow and glucose uptake is studied.
The study consists of 48 newly diagnosed subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will be randomized to receive either rosiglitazone or metformin or placebo, according to a simple randomization procedure with double blinding. The investigators will also study ten age-matched non-diabetic control subjects, who will undergo the same PET study procedure as subjects with type 2 diabetes.
A study of the effects of antidiabetic oral medication in newly diagnosed subjects with type 2 diabetes is of great importance for the understanding of the differences in mode of action of the different antidiabetic drugs. Such a study would contribute to elucidate advantages and disadvantages with certain drugs and potential additive effects in combination therapy.
