Abstract: AIM: To study the effects and mechanisms of rosiglitazone and gliclazide on insulin resistance in rats induced by high-fat diet and hyperlipemia. METHODS: After seven weeks feeding with high-fat diet, the rats with insulin resistance were divided into 3 groups:the control group, the rosiglitazone group and the gliclazide group.Insulin and glucose tolerance were tested.Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and fasting insulin (Fins) in serum and triacylglycerol (TG), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) were determined in hepatic.RESULTS: The state of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was improved, the concentrations of fasting glucose (FSG), TNF-α, TG and MDA were decreased (P < 0.05), and the deposit of GSH were increased (P < 0.01) by rosiglitazone and gliclazide.The high insulin level and the concentrations of blood (BUN), creatine (Cr) and Fins were decreased and the sensitivity of insulin (ISI) (P <0.05) was increased by rosiglitazone. CONCLUSION: Rosiglitazone can improve the insulin resistance in rats induced by high-fat diet and hyperlipemia.
