Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism of Yangxin Tongmai Tablet (YTT) in preventive and curative insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) through checking the effects of YTT on mRNA of C-myc and platelet derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) in unit-nuclear cell of peripheral circulation. Methods:77 cases with IRS patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, viz. 33 and 44 cases treated with YTT and metformin (met), respectively. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin(FINS), etc. were measured by the conventional method, while the expression level of mRNA of C-myc and PDGF-A was tested with the ...
