Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers, β-cell function, and insulin sensitivity can be improved by targeting mechanisms of both diabetes and CVD - using an antioxidant, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), or an anti-inflammatory agent - in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in a randomized, controlled trial.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Impaired glucose tolerance

Exclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of diabetes
  • Taking an ACE inhibitor (ACE-I), angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), or aspirin
  • Have systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg
  • Have a chronic inflammatory disorder (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, sinusitis)
  • Vascular disease (cardiac, peripheral, cerebral)
  • Renal insufficiency or hepatic abnormalities
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding (defined as gastric or duodenal ulcer, hematemesis, and/or blood in the stool) or significant other upper gastrointestinal problems (i.e. gastritis) within the previous 6 months
  • Anemia or a history of bleeding disorder
  • Have a history of ARB or aspirin allergy
  • Have the syndrome of asthma, rhinitis, and nasal polyps
  • Have other medical problems which would preclude taking potential study medications for 12 months
  • Are pregnant or have a positive pregnancy test
  • Are breast feeding
  • Are unable or unwilling to tolerate having one catheter in each arm for 4 hours
  • Have health status such that the envisioned blood sampling would confer a physiologic risk
  • Have other physical, social, or behavioral problems which would decrease the likelihood that they would remain in the study for 12 months
  • Do not appear capable of giving informed consent
