Abstract: Research has been conducted on the insulin-sensitizing drugs hiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone which improve insulin sensitivity. The hypothesis that these drugs can help HIV-infected patients to improve insulin sensitivity and body fat distribution via increasing periferal fat has been tested and the results are reported.
