Abstract

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of combined therapy of insulin and rosiglitazone on metabolic and inflammatory parameters, insulin sensitivity, and adipocytokine levels in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM).

Material And Methods: A total of 61 adults with type 1 DM were randomly and prospectively assigned in open-label fashion to take insulin and rosiglitazone 4 mg/day (n = 30) or insulin alone (n = 31) for a period of 18 weeks while undergoing insulin therapy without acute metabolic complications.

Results: Combination therapy did not significantly improve metabolic and inflammatory parameters, insulin sensitivity, and adiponectin levels. While leptin and resistin levels decreased in both groups (group 1: resistin 6.96 ± 3.06 to 4.99 ± 2.64, P = 0.006; leptin 25.8 ± 17.6 to 20.1 ± 12.55, P = 0.006; group 2: resistin 7.16 ± 2.30 to 5.57 ± 2.48, P = 0.031; leptin 16.72 ± 16.1 to 14.0 ± 13.4, P = 0.007) Hgb and fibrinogen levels decreased only in group 1 (Hgb 13.72 ± 1.98 to 13.16 ± 1.98, P = 0.015, and fibrinogen 4.00 ± 1.08 to 3.46 ± 0.90, P = 0.002). Patients in both groups showed weight gain and the incidence of hypoglycemia was not lower.

Discussion: The diverse favorable effects of TZDs were not fully experienced in patients with type 1 DM. These results are suggesting that insulin sensitizing and anti-inflammatory characteristics of TZDs were likely to be more pronounced in patients who were not totally devoid of endogenous insulin secretion.
