Nateglinide may increase high-molecular weight adiponectin in type 2 diabetic patients with hypoadiponectinemia

Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2008 Dec;82(3):e19-22. doi: 10.1016/j.diabres.2008.09.001. Epub 2008 Oct 11.

Abstract

We studied the effects of nateglinide on serum adiponectin in 26 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The changes in serum insulin at 30min significantly correlated with those in serum high-molecular weight adiponectin. Nateglinide may ameliorate hypoadiponectinemia as well as postprandial hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
