Melatonin 0-9 insulin Homo sapiens 29-36 29706998-1 2018 Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of melatonin on insulin resistance in obese patients with acanthosis nigricans (AN). Melatonin 56-65 insulin Homo sapiens 69-76 29706998-4 2018 Results: After 12 weeks of treatment with melatonin (3 mg/day), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) (8.99 +- 5.10 versus 7.77 +- 5.21, p < 0.05) and fasting insulin (37.09 5 +- 20.26 muU/ml versus 32.10 +- 20.29 muU/ml, p < 0.05) were significantly decreased. Melatonin 42-51 insulin Homo sapiens 93-100 29706998-4 2018 Results: After 12 weeks of treatment with melatonin (3 mg/day), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) (8.99 +- 5.10 versus 7.77 +- 5.21, p < 0.05) and fasting insulin (37.09 5 +- 20.26 muU/ml versus 32.10 +- 20.29 muU/ml, p < 0.05) were significantly decreased. Melatonin 42-51 insulin Homo sapiens 188-195 29706998-7 2018 Conclusions: It was concluded that melatonin could improve cutaneous symptoms in obese patients with acanthosis nigricans by improving insulin sensitivity and inflammatory status.
