Pioglitazone and Serum Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) in Patients With Diabetes
2018年8月1日 更新者:Medical University of South Carolina
SPECIFIC AIMS
- To determine whether pioglitazone will reduce levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA) in patients with diabetes.
- To determine whether nitric oxide(NOx) products are increased with pioglitazone treatment.
- To determine whether pioglitazone reduces oxidative stress (F2-isoprostanes).
研究概览
详细说明
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with pioglitazone can reduce serum levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in patients with adult diabetes.
Recent research has found that elevated serum ADMA is associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality, particularly in people with diabetes (Boger 2005, Zoccali 2006, Ueda 2007).
ADMA, by mediating nitric oxide (NO) availability, may trigger pro-atherogenic effects.
High plasma concentration of this substance has been associated with intima-media thickening, left ventricular hypertrophy and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease, and associated with increased cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes (Kryzazanowska 2007).
The result of higher levels of ADMA and reduced output of NO increases vasoconstriction, increases inflammation, and interferes with endothelial function.
Preliminary studies indicate that pioglitazone may reduce ADMA levels, and thus lower cardiovascular risk.Thus, this protocol will test whether pioglitazone can reduce ADMA levels in adult patients with diabetes.

干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的:Pioglitazone then Placebo
18 volunteers that are Diabetic adults, 40-75 years that have higher ADMA levels as well as increased inflammation will take Pioglitazone for the first 12 week period of the study and then take the placebo for the final 12 weeks of the study.
|
Subjects will take the pioglitazone 30mg tablet daily for 3 months.
This will be followed by a 4-week period during which subjects will not be taking either the study drug or placebo.
During the final 12-week period the group will take a placebo.

实验性的:Placebo then Pioglitazone
18 (other half of participants) volunteers that are Diabetic adults, 40-75 years that have higher ADMA levels as well as increased inflammation will take the placebo for the first 12 week period of the study and then take the Pioglitazone for the final 12 weeks of the study.

Subjects will take the placebo for the first 12 weeks of the study.
This will be followed by a 4-week period during which subjects will not be taking either the study drug or placebo.
