Investigators plan to conduct a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 44 men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer who are receiving ADT with long acting GnRH agonist (study group). Study subjects will undergo insulin clamp, subcutaneous fat biopsy, muscle biopsy, have a blood sample taken and fibroscan performed prior to randomization of study drug. They will then be randomized to 30 mg pioglitazone or placebo tablet daily for 6 months. Blood samples will be drawn 2 and 4 months following the initiation of the study drug. The final study visit will be at 6 months. Subjects will undergo clamp, fat biopsy, muscle biopsy, blood sampling, fibroscan and will be discharged from the study.
