Aspirin-like compounds increase insulin secretion in otherwise healthy obese people
ognized to improve glucose tolerance and to reduce insulin requirements in diabetic subjects said Fernandez-Real. To our knowledge this is the first study to show that salicylates lowered serum glucose in non-diabetic obese subjects. We believe that this effect was due to a previously unsuspected increase in insulin secretion rather than enhanced insulin sensitivity.
