Measure
Pioglitazone 15 mg
Patients will receive PIO 15 mg/d for two months. Serum and urine samples for 6-keto-PGF1a and 15-epi-lipoxin A4 will be taken at baseline, one month and 2 months. Pioglitazone: Patients will receive PIO 15 mg/d for one month, then 55 patients will continue with the same dose for one additional month, and in 55 patients the dose will be increased to 30 mg/d for an additional one month. While on PIO, other non-diabetes drugs should not be changed, unless emergency. Other hypoglycemic agents, including insulin may be adjusted, if clinically indicated. NSAID, COX2 inhibitors, aspirin \>162 mg/d, steroids and prostaglandin analogs will be prohibited. At baseline, and after 1, and 2 months of treatment the following samples will be taken: 1. Serum for lipid profile, ALT, AST, CK, creatinine, BUN, glucose, HbA1c (the biochemistry laboratory at UTMB) 2. Serum for 6-keto-PGF1a and 15-epi-lipoxin A4 3. Serum for hs-CRP 4. Urine for creatinine, 6-keto-PGF1a and 15-epi-lipoxin A4
Pioglitazone 30 mg/d
Patients will receive PIO 15 mg/d for one month. Then, dose will be increased to 30 mg/d for an additional month. Serum and urine samples for 6-keto-PGF1a and 15-epi-lipoxin A4 will be taken at baseline, one month and 2 months.
