chloroquine and Metabolic Diseases

chloroquine has been researched along with Metabolic Diseases in 5 studies

Chloroquine: The prototypical antimalarial agent with a mechanism that is not well understood. It has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the systemic therapy of amebic liver abscesses.
chloroquine : An aminoquinoline that is quinoline which is substituted at position 4 by a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]amino group at at position 7 by chlorine. It is used for the treatment of malaria, hepatic amoebiasis, lupus erythematosus, light-sensitive skin eruptions, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Metabolic Diseases: Generic term for diseases caused by an abnormal metabolic process. It can be congenital due to inherited enzyme abnormality (METABOLISM, INBORN ERRORS) or acquired due to disease of an endocrine organ or failure of a metabolically important organ such as the liver.

Trial Outcomes

Effect of HCQ on Fasting Blood Glucose

determined by fasting blood glucose performed at baseline and follow-up (NCT02026232)
Timeframe: 4 weeks

Diastolic Blood Pressure

Two techniques were employed: auscultation of seated subjects at rest was performed by a trained observer who recorded the first and fifth phases of the Korotkoff sounds; and, a portable oscillometric device (SpaceLabs Medical) recorded results every 20 min during the day and every hour during the night. Data were analyzed as mean values over 24 hours. (NCT00455325)
Timeframe: Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period.

Insulin Sensitivity

Hepatic insulin sensitivity was measured by comparing glucose production at baseline of zero insulin infusion rate with glucose production at 56 pmol/m2/min. Hepatic insulin sensitivity was expressed as the percent suppression, such that greater percent suppression indicated greater hepatic insulin sensitivity. There are no reference values, since the patients served as their own controls. (NCT00455325)
Timeframe: assessed every 8 - 10 weeks at the end of each treatment period
