leptin and rosiglitazone-metformin-combination

To study effects of avandia and its combination with metformine (avandamet) on secretion of fat tissue hormones.. The examination protocol for 42 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) aged 62.4 +/- 7.7 years comprised tests for blood levels of leptin, soluble receptor to leptin, insulin, grelin, resistin and adiponectine.. The treatment resulted in reduction of fasting glycemia from 10.69 +/- 2.54 to 8.42 +/- 1.73 mmol/l, of glycosilated hemoglobin--from 8.1 + 1.6 to 7.75%, immunoreactive insulin--from 19.1 +/- 8.3 to 12.0 +/- 6.5 mg/ml, grelin--from 21.7 +/- 14.6 to 17.3 +/- 13.7 mg/ml, leptin--from 40.3 +/- 24.2 to 26.9 +/- 15.4 mg/ml, soluble receptor to leptin--from 17.9 +/- 4.5 to 13.1 +/- 3.5 mg/ml. LDLP and HDLP cholesterol was high.. Avandia and avandamet are effective antidiabetic drugs with a beneficial effect on secretion of fat tissue hormones.
