The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of growth hormone and an insulin sensitizer drug in pre-diabetic adults with excessive amounts of abdominal fat. Participants received a combination of two drugs: (1) recombinant human growth hormone (or its placebo) and (2) pioglitazone (or its placebo). We measured the abdominal fat content and blood sugar levels of participants before and after 40 weeks of treatment.

Actual (reported)Visceral fat content was quantified by CT scan, glucose tolerance was assessed using a 75 gm OGTT and insulin sensitivity was measured using steady-state plasma glucose (SSPG) levels obtained during an insulin suppression test.
Body mass index (BMI), anthropometric measurements, glycohemoglobin and lipid measurements were performed before and after 40 weeks of treatment.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
