Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if tadalafil can help overweight and obese people metabolize blood sugar more efficiently. The investigators also want to find out if 20 mg/day of tadalafil for 3 months is safe to take without causing too many side effects. The investigators are plan to enroll 100 subjects at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint is defined as the treatment group difference in the change in insulin resistance (baseline HOMA-IR minus 3-month HOMA-IR). HOMA-IR = \[fasting glucose \* fasting insulin\]/405
