[Effect of Statins on Glycemic Status and Plasma Adiponectin Concentrations in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypercholesterolemia].
Yakugaku Zasshi : Journal of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan 2019 Februrary 16
It is reported that statins have inconsistent effects on glycemic status and adiponectin concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to investigate the effect of statins on these variables in patients with T2DM and hypercholesterolemia. A control group comprising 24 patients with T2DM but without hypercholesterolemia was observed for more than 12 weeks, while 24 patients with T2DM and hypercholesterolemia were treated with statins for the same period (statin group). The percentage changes in the glycemic status (blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]), and levels of plasma adiponectin (total and high molecular weight [HMW]) were compared between the two groups. The statin group had reduced percentage changes in HbA1c, blood glucose, and total and HMW-adiponectin concentration percentage changes that were similar to those in the control group. However, when matched for sex, age (± 5 years) and HbA1c (± 0.5%) with the control group, the pravastatin group had reduced percentage changes in the plasma HMW-adiponectin concentrations than the matched controls (p = 0.023). However, there were no differences in the percentage changes in the plasma total adiponectin (p = 0.137), HbA1c (p = 0.202), or blood glucose concentrations (p = 0.450) between the two groups. Pravastatin treatment had no effect on the glycemic status of patients with T2DM and hypercholesterolemia, but may reduce the percentage changes in the plasma HMW-adiponectin concentrations. Hence, patients with T2DM and hypercholesterolemia receiving long-term treatment with pravastatin might experience increased insulin resistance.
