Effects of rosiglitazone and metformin treatment on apelin, visfatin, and ghrelin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Metabolism-Clinical and Experimental, 10/26/09

Kadoglou NPE et al. – Both rosiglitazone and metformin favorably changed glycemic indexes and apelin levels.

Although these results reflect improvement in cardiovascular risk profile, the overall clinical importance of insulin sensitizers must be further assessed.
