Accumulating evidence suggest that insulin resistance in patients with diabetes and the metabolic syndrome may impair endothelial function, uncovering a proinflammatory, and proatherosclerotic vascular phenotype. The GATE study (Glitazones And The Endothelium) is a randomized, double blind study to evaluate the effects of rosiglitazone vs. placebo on endothelial function when employed as an add-on therapy in diabetic patients currently treated with oral therapy. We hypothesize that the PPAR-gamma agonist rosiglitazone, will improve endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, and that this effect will be related to improvements in insulin sensitivity, with concomitant reductions in whole body insulin resistance. Furthermore, the beneficial effects of rosiglitazone will be additive to existing oral therapies that may modulate endothelial function, such as metformin. Since endothelial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, these studies may provide the rationale and impetus for aggressive treatment of insulin resistant patients with glitazone therapy.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* All patients (both men and women) considered for participation in GATE study have to be non-insulin dependent diabetics (according to Canadian Diabetes Association criteria, namely a fasting serum glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L on two occasions, a casual glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/l with symptoms, or a 2-h post-oral glucose tolerance test glucose of ≥ 11.1 mmol/l) with unsatisfactory glycemic control on oral therapy (HbA1c 6-10%).\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Exclusion criteria includes, congestive heart failure (NYHA class III \\& IV or ejection fraction less than 35%), poorly controlled hypertension (blood pressure \\> 160/90), hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol \\> 6.2 mmol/l), hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides \\> 4.0 mmol/l), poor or excellent control of DM (HgA1c \\<6 % or HbA1c \\> 10% respectively), known diabetic retinopathy, age at diagnosis of diabetes less than 25 years, current participation in another clinical trial and contraindications to glitazones therapy, including renal (creatinine \\> 200 micromol/ L) or hepatic (ALT \\> 2.5 times the upper limit of normal) impairment and/ or known intolerance to glitazones. Patients must be stable on medications that affect endothelial function for more than one month. This includes ACE-inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, statins, calcium channel blockers, hormone replacement therapy and anti-oxidant vitamins, including folates. Patients on insulin will be excluded. Patients in whom it is felt that attainment of better glucose control is required within 3 months will also be excluded.
