Thiazolidinediones: Potential Link Between Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Disease
The thiazolidinediones are a unique class of oral antidiabetic agents that has been shown to directly reduce insulin resistance at sites of insulin action, specifically adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and the liver. By reducing insulin resistance, these drugs influence many of the modifiable cardiovascular risk factors associated with the insulin resistance syndrome, also known as the cardiova...
متن کاملInsulin resistance and its treatment by thiazolidinediones.
Insulin resistance is a change in physiologic regulation such that a fixed dose of insulin causes less of an effect on glucose metabolism than occurs in normal individuals. The normal compensatory response to insulin resistance is an increase in insulin secretion that results in hyperinsulinemia. If the hyperinsulinemia is sufficient to overcome the insulin resistance, glucose regulation remain...
متن کاملEffects of Benzimidazole derivatives on digestive system and cardiovascular system
One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...
متن کاملEffects of medical therapy on insulin resistance and the cardiovascular system in polycystic ovary syndrome.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the impact of medical therapy for symptom management on insulin resistance, metabolic profiles, and surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an insulin-resistant pre-diabetes condition. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS One hundred overweight women (BMI >27 kg/m2), average age 31 years, who were nonsmokers, were not pregnant, d...
