Effect of clofibrate on glucose tolerance in maturity onset diabetes. 1977

D Barnett, and J G Craig, and D S Robinson, and M P Rogers

1 Fourteen maturity onset diabetics showed improvement of glucose tolerance while on treatment with clofibrate. Fasting blood glucose levels were reduced by 20% after treatment for 14 and 28 days. 2 The effect was found to be independent of concurrent treatment with oral hypoglycaemic drugs. 3 Plasma insulin levels were also lower during clofibrate treatment. 4 Clofibrate may prove to be a useful adjunct to the treatment of maturity onset diabetes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
