- Insulin Resistance as Measured by the Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28, Day 84 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Insulin Resistance is measured via the Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) using a computer to model insulin sensitivity. Insulin Sensitivity (HOMA-%S), where 100% is normal, is the reciprocal of insulin resistance (100/S%). HOMA IR = [fasting insulin (μU/mL)] x [fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L)] / 22.5 where fasting insulin (or glucose) was defined as the arithmetic mean of the -15, -10 and 0 min pre-glucose load values. Analysis of covariance with treatment as a fixed effect and baseline as the covariate was performed on log transformed data.

HOMA β = [20 x fasting insulin (μU/mL)] / [fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) - 3.5] where fasting insulin (or glucose) was defined as the arithmetic mean of the -15, -10 and 0 min pre-glucose load values. Analysis of covariance with treatment as a fixed effect and baseline as the covariate was performed on log transformed data.

A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is an event resulting in death, requiring or prolonging hospitalization, a congenital anomaly or other important medical event. AEs and SAEs were recorded at each visit.
