DRUGS AFFECTING INSULIN RESISTANCE
ASPIRIN
Hundal RS et el 2002 Recent studies have implicated fatty acid-dependent activation of the serine kinase IKKbeta, which plays a key role in tissue inflammation, in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. High doses of salicylates have recently been shown to inhibit IKKbeta activity and might therefore ameliorate insulin resistance and improve glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes.
