Study of PPAR Gamma Agonist-Rosiglitazone in Normotensive Type 2 Diabetics With Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of rosiglitazone in normotensive type 2 diabetic patients with regard to its blood-pressure-reducing effects.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The first study to evaluate the effects of troglitazone on blood pressure in humans was published recently, which demonstrated a 5/4 mm Hg reduction in ambulatory blood pressure in 18 nondiabetic obese subjects after 12 weeks' treatment.
