Insulin Resistance Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Role of Insulin Resistance and the Effect of Metformin Use on Volume of Benign Thyroid Nodules
It has been shown that insulin might be involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid growth.
Objective To evaluate the impact of IR and metformin use on the volume of benign thyroid
nodules (TNs).
Methods A randomized clinical trial to placebo (P) or MTF use. Previous fine needle
aspiration confirming the diagnosis is necessary to inclusion. Patients will receive similar
tablets of MTF and placebo and instruct to take 3 tablets/day of MTF (500mg/tablet). Thyroid
volume, as TN volume, will be assess by ultrasound, both in the beginning, six months and one
year after randomization, by the same researcher blinded regarding location group. Blood
samples to measure: TSH, FT4, TPO-Ab, lipid profile, glucose and insulin were done after 8h
fasting.
It has been shown that insulin might be involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid growth.
Previous studies suggest that metformin (MTF) therapy decreased thyroid volume and nodule
size in subjects with insulin resistance (IR).
Objectives To evaluate the impact of IR and metformin use on the volume of benign thyroid
nodules (TNs).
Methods A randomized clinical trial to placebo (P) or MTF use. Previous fine needle
aspiration confirming the diagnosis is necessary to inclusion. Exclusion criteria were:
nodules with a predominantly cystic pattern, pregnancy, diabetes, acromegaly, previous use of
MTF, levothyroxine, corticoid or any weight loss medication in the past six months, hepatic
or cardiac insufficiency, creatinine levels > 1.4 mg/dL and MTF intolerance doses >1.0
gram/day. Patients will receive similar tablets of MTF and placebo and will be instructed to
take 3 tablets/day of MTF (500mg/tablet). Thyroid volume, as TN volume, will be accessed by
ultrasound, both in the beginning, six months and one year after randomization, by the same
researcher blinded regarding location group. Blood samples to measure: TSH, FT4, TPO-Ab,
lipid profile, glucose and insulin were done after 8h fasting.
