| Abstract |
Bezafibrate is mainly used to treat hypertriglyceridemia. Studies have reported that bezafibrate also improves type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. We performed euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps (glucose clamp) and meal tolerance tests (MTT) to examine the effects of bezafibrate on insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. |
