Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pioglitazone on clinical and metabolic parameters, body fat distribution, and serum adiponectin, a recently discovered antiatherosclerotic hormone, in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Ten male patients aged 40 to 66 (57.7 +/- 7.4) years, who were being treated with dietary therapy alone (n = 7) or with a stable dose of sulfonylurea (n = 3), were studied at baseline and after 3 months of pioglitazone treatment (30 mg/d). Body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum insulin, adiponectin, and lipid profile were measured. Also, visceral adipose tissue area (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue area (SAT) at the umbilical level were determined by computed tomographic (CT) scanning. Mean blood pressure (109 +/- 14 to 101 +/- 10 mm Hg), FPG (8.6 +/- 1.4 to 7.0 +/- 1.0 mmol/L), serum insulin (54 +/- 11 to 30 +/- 8 pmol/L, P <.01 for all), and HbA1c (6.7 +/- 0.8 to 6.1% +/- 0.6%, P =.013) decreased significantly during 3 months of pioglitazone treatment. BMI (26.4 +/- 3.2 to 27.0 +/- 3.5 kg/m2), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (124 +/- 24 to 138 +/- 24 mg/dL) and SAT (155 +/- 69 to 179 +/- 81cm2, P <.05 for all) increased, while triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol did not change significantly after 3 months of pioglitazone treatment. Serum adiponectin level increased in all patients (4.8 +/- 1.7 to 14.4 +/- 2.1 microg/mL, P =.005). VAT tended to increase (165 +/- 38 to 180 +/- 46 cm2) and VAT/SAT ratio tended to decrease (1.2 +/- 0.3 to 1.1 +/- 0.3), but these differences did not reach statistical significance. These results suggest that pioglitazone exerts good glycemic and blood pressure control despite increased BMI and SAT in Japanese male patients with type 2 diabetes. It is also suggested that pioglitazone may have an antiatherosclerotic effect by increasing serum adiponectin level.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
