Improvement in Glucose Tolerance and Insulin Resistance in Obese Subjects Treated with Troglitazone

Abstract

Troglitazone decreases insulin resistance and improves glucose tolerance in obese subjects with either impaired or normal glucose tolerance. The ability of troglitazone to reduce insulin resistance could be useful in preventing NIDDM:
