Brief Summary:
Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the circadian cycle in addition to having an antioxidant effect. Patients with prediabetes state, has a deregulation of glucose metabolism and an overproduction of reactive oxygen species caused by levels of hyperglycemia that generate DNA modification in pancreatic beta cells, which leads to apoptosis and a deficient production of insulin. The administration of metformin and melatonin could be a possibility to treat and reverse the prediabetic state decreasing the glycemic levels and reactive oxygen species production.
Detailed Description:
A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, pilot clinical trial will carried out in 42 patients with a diagnosis of prediabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association criteria. The patients will be divide in three groups administrating metformin plus placebo, melatonin plus placebo or melatonin plus metformin. The intervention will be with 500 mg lengthed release tablets of metformin once a day in the morning, per 90 days, 5 mg lengthed release capsules of melatonin one a day in the night per 90 days and calcined magnesia as a placebo. Before and after the intervention, will be evaluate: fasting plasma glucose, blood glucose after an oral glucose tolerance test, A1c hemoglobin fraction, micronuclei frequency, nuclear anomalies frequency, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity, weight, height, body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, creatinine, uric acid, and sleep quality.
