"Furthermore, hydroxychloroquine prevents hepatic insulin degradation, increases peripheral use of glucose and suppresses gluconeogenesis [69]; hydroxychloroquine may be preferred in patients with disorders of insulin resistance, especially those due to corticosteroid use."

"Hydroxychloroquine enhances insulin sensitivity and ameliorates abnormal lipid metabolism in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome."

reach
"Hydroxychloroquine prevents insulin degradation in the liver and suppresses gluconeogenesis, increasing peripheral utilization of glucose; so, it is particularly attractive to use in patients also treated with corticosteroids."

reach
"Additionally, HCQ elicits this hypoglycemic effect by reducing the rate of glucose receptor recycling, and also by promoting insulin dependent cellular uptake of glucose."

"Mercer et al. [69] documented after 6 weeks of therapy with hydroxychloroquine in diabetic obese RA subjects a significant increase of insulin sensitivity, in the absence of improvement in inflammator[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"HCQ increases insulin sensitivity and reduces insulin resistance through its indirect effect by reducing inflammation [48]."

"Mercer et al. [36]have postulated that HCQ may enhance insulin function in obese patients with metabolic disorders."

"Smith et al. in 1987 described a significant improvement of glycemic values in few patients with non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus treated with HCQ XREF_BIBR."

"Patients with SLE taking an antimalarial agent have also been shown to have lower fasting blood glucose conentrations - a risk factor for premature atherosclerosis - compared with controls [XREF_BIBR], and one study demonstrated that hydroxychloroquine prolongs the half-life of the active insulin and receptor complex via inhibition of the insulin-receptor dissociation, thus augmenting insulin stimulated responses [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"It is concluded that HCQ significantly elevated insulin blood concentration resulting in reduced glucose levels in a concentration dependent fashion in diabetic rats."

reach
"Proposed mechanisms include improving insulin sensitivity, enhancing insulin dependent glucose transport, and decreasing the degradation of intracellular insulin.S1 A study demonstrated that HCQ could increase insulin secretion and improve blood glucose levels in prediabetic patients.S2 Another trial also showed that chloroquine could lower glucose levels in diabetic patients with a similar mechanism.S3 HCQ induced hypoglycemia in the nondiabetic population is quite rare."

"Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been found to significantly increase the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and show a tendency to reduce IR (as assessed by the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]) [XREF_BIBR]."

"Hydroxychloroquine decreases insulin degradation at the cellular level, increases intracellular insulin accumulation, and stimulates insulin mediated glucose transport [XREF_BIBR]."
