OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effects of modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction combined with short-term very low calorie diets(VLCDs) on cardiovascular risk factors in obese patients with impaired glucose tolerance(...OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effects of modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction combined with short-term very low calorie diets(VLCDs) on cardiovascular risk factors in obese patients with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).METHODS:Eighty-five obese patients with IGT of spleen hypofunction and dampness accumulation type were randomly divided into treated group(n=45)and control group(n=40).The treated group was given Linggui Zhugan Decoction combined short-term VLCDs.The control group was given basic weight-reduction treatment.The total course was 6 months.Changes of fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),fasting insulin(FINS),lipid metabolism,blood pressure,body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC) were observed,and the outcomes were reviewed after the treatment.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,the levels of FPG,2hPG,HbA1c,FINS,HOMA-IR decreased significantly(P<0.05),and the indexes of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein(LDL),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),BMI and WC were improved significantly(P<0.05) in the treated group.The transformation rate of normal glucose tolerance(NGT) was higher in treatment group than control group(P<0.01).No severe adverse reaction was found in the therapeutic course.CONCLUSION:The modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction combined with short-term VLCDs has good protective effects on cardiovascular risk factors as a treatment intervention for IGT with obesity,as it could improve glycometabolism,significantly decrease the levels of blood pressure,blood lipids,BMI,WC and effectively cut-off and reverse the development of diabetes mellitus.展开更多
