Exercise and Pioglitazone for HIV-Metabolic Syndromes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pioglitazone and Exercise training for HIV Infections and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose is to examine the safety and efficacy of 16wks of pioglitazone (Actos; 30mg/d) with and without aerobic and strength exercise training for reducing glucose intolerance and central adiposity in HIV-infected people. We anticipate that pioglitazone + exercise training will improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and reduce central adiposity more than pioglitazone alone. These improvements should translate into reduced cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-infected people.
