Ezetimibe improves postprandial hyperlipidaemia in patients with type IIb hyperlipidaemia

Abstract: These findings suggest that ezetimibe improves fasting lipoprotein profiles and postprandial hyperlipidaemia by suppressing intestinal CM production in patients with type IIb hyperlipidaemia and such treatment may prove to be effective in reducing atherosclerosis.

“…Indeed, increased levels of RLP-C are significant and independent risk factor of CAD and predict future coronary events in patients with CAD and type II DM [15]. As shown in the present study as well as in previous studies [16], ezetimibe appears to decrease RLP. The observed reduction in LDL-C correlated with improved references…”

“…On the other hand, postprandial serum FFA excursion, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, was unaffected by ezetimibe administration and showed a J-curve in this study. Whenever serum insulin and plasma glucose increase during OGTT, serum FFA decreases in the opposite direction; however, a previous study 15) reported that serum FFA increased after a lipid-rich meal and that ezetimibe inhibited the increment of serum FFA excursion. The discrepancy between our study and the previous study may be explained by insulin-stimulated lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity derived from the presence or absence of carbohydrates, although we did not measure LPL activity in this study.…”

“…The discrepancy between our study and the previous study may be explained by insulin-stimulated lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity derived from the presence or absence of carbohydrates, although we did not measure LPL activity in this study. Another possibility is that our model meal contained more carbohydrates than the meal in the previous study 15) . Postprandial glucose and insulin excursion and serum incretin levels were not affected by ezetimibe significantly (Fig.…”
