Objective: Vaspin, adiponectin and interleukin-6 (IL-6) constitute novel adipose-tissue derivatives, known as adipokines, which mediate insulin resistance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of metformin and rosiglitazone on serum levels of those novel adipokines in drug-nave patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: 140 patients with T2DM, already treated with diet, but without adequate glycemic control (HbA1c>7%), were randomly assigned to: RSG+ MET group, (n=70): Combination therapy with fixed dose of 4 mg rosiglitazone plus 500 mg metformin. MET group, (n=70): Half-maximum dose of metformin monotherapy (1700 mg/day). Before and after 6-month treatment, body-mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), fat-mass, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, insulin resistance indexes (HOMA-IR, insulin), lipids, high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), vaspin, adiponectin, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured.Results: Glucose regulation and insulin resistance were equivalently improved from baseline within both groups (p
