Effect of rosiglitazone treatment on insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic patients skeletal muscle. Homo sapiens

The goal of this study was to analyse the effect of a 12 weeks treatment with rosiglitazone on insulin sensitivity in the muscle of type 2 diabetic patients. Ten diabetic patients were submitted to a 3 hours euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Skeletal muscle biopsies were taken before and after the clamp. Samples from the same patients (obtained before and after the clamp) were hybridized on the same microarray. Biopsie taken before the clamp was considered as the control. Then, the patients were treated with rosiglitazone, agonist of PPAR gamma, during 12 weeks. After the treatment, all the patients were submitted to a second 3 hours euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Skeletal muscle biopsies for 7 patients were taken before and after the clamp. Samples from the same patients (obtained before and after the clamp) were hybridized on the same microarray. Biopsie taken before the clamp was considered as the control. Set of arrays that are part of repeated experiments Compound Based Treatment: patient biopsies taken before (no) and after (yes) rosiglitazone (TZD) treatment` Overall design: Computed
