Impact of rosiglitazone on body composition, hepatic fat, fatty acids, adipokines and glucose in persons with impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance: a sub‐study of the DREAM trial

AIMS: Thiazolidinediones reduce ectopic fat, increase adiponectin and reduce inflammatory adipokines, fatty acids and glucose in people with Type 2 diabetes. We aimed to measure these effects in people with impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance. METHODS: After approximately 3.5 years of exposure to rosiglitazone 8 mg (n = 88) or placebo (n = 102), 190 DREAM trial participants underwent abdominal computed tomography and …
