Study Summary

Subjects will be screened with a 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test. After this screening visit, their insulin resistance will be measured. Subjects will then be given either alpha lipoic acid (antioxidant) or placebo for 6 weeks. The insulin resistance test will be repeated after the 6 weeks. We believe these studies will confirm the beneficial effect of alpha lipoic acid on insulin sensitivity.
