“…In patients with coronary heart disease, clofibrate has been reported not to modify (Schwandt, Weisweiler, Neureuther & Wilkening, 1976) or to significantly reduce fasting blood glucose (Enger et al, 1977;Csogor & Bornemisza, 1977). As a rule, fasting blood glucose was unchanged in diabetic patients (Danowski, Cohn, Limaye, Novak, Saul, Sunder & Moses, 1965;Danowski Novak, Saul, Vester & Moses, 1966;Jain, Ryan, McMahon, 1975;Pontirelli, Viberti & Pozza, 1976) but in one study (Ferrari et al, 1977), fasting blood glucose significantly decreased after 5 days of clofibrate administration. In 22 diabetic patients, 11 of whom being insulin-dependent, clofibrate induced a significant reduction in glycosuria (Csogor & Bornemisza, 1977).…”
