Clinical Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Tolerability of Acarbose in Type II Diabetic Patients Treated with Diet Alone
In a biometrically planned observational trial the α-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose (BAY g 5421) has been studied in five type II diabetics who were poorly controlled with diet alone (dietary failure; age, 70 ...

Acarbose Does Not Affect Glibenclamide Pharmacokinetics in Type II Diabetic Patients
The α-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose (BAY-g-5421) has been proposed as a useful additional means for improving metabolic control of sulfonylurea-treated type II diabetic patients. Since it results in carbohydr...

Efficacy of the Glucosidase Inhibitor Acarbose Compared to the Sulfonylurea Glisoxepide on Metabolic Control in Diet-Treated Type II Diabetics
α-Glucosidase inhibition is a new principle in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. To compare this new principle with the well-established sulfonylurea therapy of type II diabetes, we treated 20 type II diabet...

The Long-Term Effects of Acarbose on Type II Diabetics on Diet or Oral Agents
In previous studies [1, 2] we have shown that acarbose, an α-glucosidase inhibitor which slows carbohydrate absorption, can decrease insulin requirements of diabetics, as assessed in acute experiments with the...

Effects of Low-Dose Acarbose on Glycemia, Adiposity, and Cholesterolemia in Obese and Obese Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetic Corpulent Rats
To determine the effects of low-dose acarbose (ACB; BAY g 5421; 100 mg/kg diet) on modulation of adiposity, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, groups of congenic, pathogen-free male lean and obese LA/N-cp and...

Effect of Acarbose on Blood Glucose and Insulin Response to a Sucrose Load in Subjects with Reactive Hypoglycemia
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effect of acarbose on glycemic and insulin response to an oral sucrose load in patients with reactive hypoglycemia. Sixteen patients (13 women, 3 men; age...

Acarbose Treatment and Sulfonylurea Secondary Failure
Acarbose has now been investigated in a great number of diabetic patients (Hillebrand 1987). The main indication for this drug is treatment of hyperglycemia in type II diabetic patients. The efficiency of acar...

Enhancement of Insulin Binding and Glucose Transport by Acarbose in Adipocytes of Zucker Rats
Acarbose (BAY g 5421) is an intestinal α-glucosidase inhibitor which slows carbohydrate digestion and the rate of glucose absorption from the gut. To test whether longterm administration of acarbose alters adi...

Effects of Acarbose on Cardiac and Hepatic Metabolism in Diabetic Rats
We have studied the effects of the inclusion of acarbose in a high carbohydrate diet fed to rats with type I diabetes (streptozotocin-treated) and to rats with genetically induced type II diabetes (SHR/N-cp ra...

Inhibition of α-Glucosidase by Acarbose as an Additional Tool for Glycemia Control in Insulin-Dependent Diabetics on Conventional Insulin Therapy
In spite of its intensification, conventional insulin therapy is often not effective in limiting the postprandial glycemia excursions to planned areas. The practical problem entailed by this served as the moti...

The Effectiveness of Acarbose in the Reduction of Diabetic Symptoms and Neuropathic Complications in a NIDDM Animal Model
Acarbose was administered to Wistar fatty diabetic rats to reduce the symptoms of diabetes and thus the neuropathic complications of the hyperglycemic state. All diets were composed of Purina 5008 chow, contai...
