Abstract: Aim To study the effects of glipizide and meh formin on the serum IGF-1, IGF-2 in patients with type II diabetes mellitus; Methods The effect of glipizide (n =40) and metformin(n =25) on serum IGF-1, IGF-2 in patients with type I diabetes mellitus were compared with self-controlled study. Results In metformin treated patients, there were not significantly changes in fasting IGF-1 and IGF-2 concentrations In glipizide-treated patients there were markedly increased IGF-1 concentrations (181 8±104.5) vs (209.0 ±88.2)ng·ml-1 (P<0.05) while serum IGF-2 was not change. There was a significant reduction of blood glucose in two groups at the end of treatment (both P <3.01) but C-peptide level was markedly increased(P <0.05) only in glipizi detreated patients. Conclusion The changes of IGF-1 is markedly different between metformin-treated and glipizide-treated patients with type II diabetes mellitus.

Key words: insulin-like growth factor, type H diabetes mellitus, glipizide, metformin
