title: Effect of atorvastatin on type 2 diabetic dyslipidemia.
abstract: Hyperlipidemia is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The authors tested the effect of atorvastatin (10 mg/d) on 110 hyperlipidemic type 2 diabetes patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels exceeding 130 mg/d. The primary efficacy end point was the percentage change in LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and secondary efficacy included the percentage change in apolipoproteins at weeks 6, 12, and 24. The tertiary goal was percentage change in free radical scavenger enzymes and oxidative stress. LDL-C was reduced by 25%, 39.3%, and 49.2%. A similar trend was observed in total cholesterol, triglyceride, non-HDL-C, and apolipoprotein (apo) B-100. HDL-C was raised by 3.2%, 6%, and 8.2%. A similar trend was seen in apo A-1. Copper zinc-superoxide dismutase and glutathione were raised significantly (P < .001); however, changes in glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase activities were nonsignificant. Malondialdehyde was decreased significantly (P < .001). Atorvastatin improves the lipoprotein profile and oxidative status in patients with type 2 diabetes.
