Pentoxifylline (Px) has protean effects that can be utilized in the therapy of diabetes and its complications. There have been well-documented but often inconclusive improvements in peripheral arterial disease, foot ulcers, peripheral neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. In addition, non-alcoholic steatosis and steatohepatitis, which are closely associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, have been shown to improve with pentoxifylline. Surprisingly, pentoxifylline modestly improves insulin resistance through improvements in capillary blood flow as well as beta cell function and decreased hepatic glucose production. The therapeutic effects of pentoxifylline are complementary to the effects of drugs such as blockers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system when utilized in the therapy of diabetic nephropathy.

Are the Protean Effects of Pentoxifylline in the Therapy of Diabetes and Its Complications Still Relevant?
