metformin and Abdominal Obesity

metformin has been researched along with Abdominal Obesity in 20 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Reactive Hyperemic Index Over the 3-month Treatment Period

Change in reactive hyperemic index over the 3-month treatment period, which is a measure of endothelial (inner lining of blood vessels) function. This is measured as a ratio of post-occlusion blood flow volume versus baseline blood flow volume in fingertips. Higher ratio values are considered indicative of better arterial health. (NCT00546728)
Timeframe: Change from baseline to 3 months
