"By increasing the intracellular pH, Hydroxychloroquine inhibits various insulin degrading enzymes [XREF_BIBR] and thus inhibits insulin degradation [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"HCQ inhibits the degradation of insulin enhancing the metabolic effects of the hormone to improve insulin sensitivity [44]."

reach
"HCQ inhibits the degradation of insulin, which enhances the metabolic effects and improves insulin sensitivity [56]."

reach
"HCQ seemed to decrease insulin resistance and incidence of CVD, but data were too few for meta-analysis."

reach
"Hydroxychloroquine has been reported to reduce insulin requirements in refractory type II diabetes by an average of 30%."

reach
"Hydroxychloroquine was found to significantly reduce insulin metabolism in the cytosolic fraction of livers of both healthy and diabetic animals."

eidos
"Hydroxychloroquine decreases insulin degradation at the cellular level , increases intracellular insulin accumulation , and stimulates insulin-mediated glucose transport [ 27 ] ."

reach
"More recently, Qiao and co-researchers found that pre-treatment of HCQ (40 mg/kg/day) via intraperitoneal injection to male C57BL/6J mice before subjected the animals with high-fat diet significantly reduced intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), insulin, insulin tolerance test (ITT), HOMA-IR as well as increased homeostatic model assessment for insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS) and glucose uptake in HepG2 cells [29] ."

reach
"Hydroxychloroquine in lupus patients, reduces disease activity, cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance, thromboembolic events, infection risk and mortality XREF_BIBR - XREF_BIBR, and this drug should not be discontinued during the perioperative period."

reach
"The metabolic effect of HCQ is reducing dissociation of insulin from its receptor (tyrosine kinase) and increase the biologic half-life of insulin receptor complex which prolongs the action of insulin [16]."

reach
"When HCQ was combined with insulin for 6 months, the glycated hemoglobin decreased significantly compared to placebo, and the insulin dose had to be reduced by 30% in the HCQ group [41]."

reach
"Data from experimental models [XREF_BIBR] and a case report [XREF_BIBR] suggest that chloroquine, but not HCQ, may decrease insulin clearance."

reach
"Thus, hydroxychloroquine therapy in COVID-19 may lead to hypoglycemia since this drug reduces insulin degradation and improves insulin storage with augmentation of peripheral glucose metabolism (59)."

reach
"Indeed, in patients with SLE, hydroxychloroquine reduces disease activity, CV risk, insulin resistance and thromboembolic events; therefore, in the perioperative period, it should not be discontinued and could even be protective [XREF_BIBR - XREF_BIBR]."

eidos
"HCQ improves insulin sensitivity and reduces insulin degradation [ 27 ] ."

eidos
"HCQ inhibits the degradation of insulin , which enhances the metabolic effects and improves insulin sensitivity [ 56 ] ."

reach
"Subsequently, another group of researchers pointed out that oral treatment with HCQ (6.5 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks lowered FBG, OGTT, insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and raised β-cell function in rats fed with high-fat diet containing 46% fat, 20.3% protein, and 24% carbohydrate."

reach
"The use of hydroxychloroquine improved lipid profiles and reduced incident diabetes and CVD as well as insulin resistance in RA [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"This would imply that HCQ reduces clearance of insulin, and not that it increases its secretion [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Hydroxychloroquine also reduces pro inflammatory cytokines, notably TNF-alpha and IL-6, and decreases insulin resistance."

reach
"Hydroxychloroquine may be able to partially reduce the post-receptor increased insulin clearance, accelerating insulin stimulated glucose transport which leads to better management of the disease."
