Change in plasma ghrelin level and the relation between ghrelin and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients after rosiglitazone therapy / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The change in plasma ghrelin level after 4-and 12-week adjunctive therapy of rosiglitazones in type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled by sulphonylurea alone was observed and the relation between ghrelin and insulin resistance was analysed.The results showed that rosiglitazones significantly increased circulating ghrelin level and obviously decreased insulin resistance index after therapy for 4 and 12 weeks in type 2 diabetic patients.
