Salsalate was used to study the effect on palmitate-induced insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis in obese rats.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NSAID; Nonacetylated aspirin analog
Salsalate is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), a nonacetylated salicylate with no more problems of gastrointestinal bleeding than placebo. It inhibits synthesis and release of prostaglandins through the inactivation of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2. Salsalate is currently being investigated as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes with possible use to prevent the disease in people at risk. It reduces blood glucose concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as in insulin-resistant patients without diabetes.

To review the evidence base supporting the use of salicylates for glucose level control in patients with type 2 diabetes and provide a comprehensive review of available information describing the potential role of salicylates and, in particular, salsalate, for glucose
Allison B Goldfine et al.

Chronic subacute inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Salicylates were shown years ago to lower glucose and more recently to inhibit NF-kappaB activity. Salsalate, a prodrug form of salicylate, has seen extensive clinical
Ruth C R Meex et al.

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs appear to improve insulin sensitivity and are currently tested in clinical trials. Salsalate, however, may blunt mitochondrial function, an unwarranted side effect for type 2 diabetics. We examined the effect of salsalate on ex vivo mitochondrial function
