Effects of Insulin Sensitizers in Subjects With Impaired Glucose Tolerance
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Metformin, Pioglitazone, and 2 other interventions for Glucose Metabolism Disorders and Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance will be randomized to receive pioglitazone or metformin for 10 weeks. Measurements of insulin sensitivity, body composition, glucose tolerance, and muscle lipid accumulation will be performed. Adipose tissue and muscle biopsies are performed. The goal of the study is to determine whether the lipotoxiciy of impaired glucose tolerance is ameliorated by pioglitazone.
