Popis: Hyperglycemia represents frequent adverse event reported in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients treated with nilotinib. In order to determine the major mechanism of glucose metabolism impairment, we performed a metabolic analysis using an oral glucose tolerance test as well as assessment of incretins and adipokines at baseline and after 3 months of nilotinib treatment in patients with CML. We proved that rapid insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinaemia, and hypoadiponectinaemia develop after initiation of nilotinib therapy, which clarifies not only the mechanism of impaired glucose metabolism, but also explains the fast development of dyslipidaemia and peripheral artery occlusion in nilotinib-treated CML patients.
