Abstract
Background: Diabetes is often associated with dyslipidemia, where plasma lipid and lipoprotein profile alterations increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Insulin resistance increases the risk of hyperinsulin and atherosclerosis, developing hypertension and diabetes. Patients with diabetes suffer from metabolic disorders in carbohydrates, fat, and proteins associated with hyperglycemia. Hence reducing insulin resistance is a therapeutic approach to treating diabetes.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the beneficial effects of monotherapy rosiglitazone, gemfibrozil, and insulin versus rosiglitazone, gemfibrozil, and insulin combination in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats.

Materials and Methods: 42-Wistar rats of either sex were used in this study, except for the control group, streptozocin was used to induce diabetes. These rats were further allocated into five groups, each group consists of eight animals. Blood serum was used to estimate blood glucose and serum lipid levels were observed after a period of 6 weeks. Results were analyzed using SPSS software version 21.0.

Results: Combination therapy of insulin + rosiglitazone + gemfibrozil showed a significant decrease in serum blood glucose, lipid levels in compared with vehicle and rosiglitazone groups.

Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrated a more favorable lipid profile than the monotherapy regimen; adding gemfibrozil and insulin to rosiglitazone could help reverse the cardiovascular adverse events it causes.

Key words: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Rosiglitazone; Gemfibrozil; Insulin
