The differential effects of metformin on markers of endothelial activation and inflammation in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance: A placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial
Abstract
The effect of metformin (1000 mg twice a day) on markers of endothelial activation, inflammation, and coagulation was investigated in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in a 16-wk, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule, C-reactive protein, TNFalpha, von Willebrand factor, and tissue plasminogen activator were measured at baseline and at the end of the trial. Subjects with IGT (n = 55, 14 males and 41 females), aged 48.4 +/- 9.6 yr with a body mass index of 31.4 +/- 5.6 kg/m(2), were studied. All participants followed a 1-month stabilization period in their diet and physical activity. Afterward, 29 subjects were assigned to the treatment group and 26 to the control group. A significant reduction in weight, fasting plasma glucose, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (306 +/- 75 vs. 268 +/- 61 ng/ml, P = 0.029), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule (595 +/- 114 vs. 508 +/- 126 ng/ml, P = 0.006), and von Willebrand factor (124 +/- 34 vs. 94 +/- 34%, P = 0.001) was seen in the treatment group, whereas tissue plasminogen activator, TNFalpha, and C-reactive protein levels did not change. No change was seen in the control group. Thus, metformin improves the plasma levels of some markers of endothelial activation and coagulation in subjects with IGT, whereas it has no effect on markers of inflammation.

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.
