This 6-year-old male (Case-1-male) was previously reported at birth (3). Mother and sister (Case-1-female) both had NDM and were given insulin for 24 and 6 years, respectively, then treated with high-dose glyburide; mother still requires some insulin. Case-1-male had NDM at 3 days and was given glyburide 0.2 mg/kg/day, weaned to 0.05 mg/kg/day, and maintained normal hemoglobin A1c for 5 years (...

The mitochondrial KATP channel (mitoKATP) is hypothesized to be the receptor for the cardioprotective effects of K+ channel openers (KCO) and for the blocking of cardioprotection by glyburide and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD). Studies on glyburide have indicated that this drug is inactive in isolated mitochondria. No studies of the effects of 5-HD on isolated mitochondria have been reported. This p...

The antihyperglycaemic activity of IND 01 and its interaction with glyburide and pioglitazone on serum glucose, body weight and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was determined in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. IND 01 (100 mg/kg), glyburide (10 mg/kg), pioglitzone (10 mg/kg) and their concomitant administration were administered orally in alloxan (80 mg/kg, i.v.) induced diabetic mice. The stu...

OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein (CRP) is closely associated with obesity and cardiovascular disease in both diabetic and nondiabetic populations. In the short term, commonly prescribed antidiabetic agents have different effects on CRP; however, the long-term effects of those agents are unknown. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In A Diabetes Outcome Progression Trial (ADOPT), we examined the long-term...

During pregnancy, 5-14% of women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the incidence has been increasing (Jovanovic & Pettitt, 2001; Paglia & Coustan, 2011). While insulin treatment is still the “gold standard” therapy for controlling maternal glycemia, the increasing use of oral anti-diabetic agents such as glyburide and metformin has begun to change standard care (Maymone...

This prospective, 1-year, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study was designed to show that repaglinide was at least equivalent to glyburide in patients with type 2 diabetes. Five hundred and seventy-six patients with type 2 diabetes of at least 6 months' duration were randomized to receive monotherapy with repaglinide (n = 383) or glyburide (n = 193). During weeks 1-8, dose...

We have studied the effects of the oral sulfonylurea agent glyburide to modulate insulin receptors on nontransformed human fibroblasts in tissue culture. When glyburide was added to monolayers of human fibroblasts, a dose-dependent increase in the number of cell surface receptors was observed with a maximum effect (19% increase) seen at 1 microgram/ml glyburide. Insulin can induce a loss of ins...

The comment by Barbour and Davies (1) acknowledges that our study (2) is important given the increasing popularity of oral agents to treat gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)but raises concernswhether the study design and conclusions can be generalized to other GDM populations. With regard to treatment efficacy before 24 weeks, in our study the success rate of oral treatments before and after 2...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy and safety of glyburide as a treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to insulin. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted to compare the management of gestational diabetes with glyburide and insulin. Studies fulfilling all of the following inclusion criteria were included in this meta-analysis: subjects were...

BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperglycemia may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We compared the effects of two insulin secretagogues, repaglinide and glyburide, known to have different efficacy on postprandial hyperglycemia, on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and markers of systemic vascular inflammation in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a randomized, ...
