The goal of this study was to evaluate the relative effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on postprandial remnant lipoprotein (RLP) concentrations in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics.
BACKGROUND
Increases in fasting RLP concentration have been described in type 2 diabetics, as well as in insulin-resistant nondiabetics. Given the atherogenicity of RLPs, we have extended these observations by assessing postprandial RLP concentrations and observing that hyperglycemia was necessary for the increase in RLP concentrations.
METHODS
Patients with type 2 diabetes were subdivided on the basis of their plasma insulin response to oral glucose into hyperinsulinemic (H-DM) and normoinsulinemic (N-DM) groups of 15 patients each. Plasma triglyceride (TG), RLP-TG and RLP cholesterol (RLP-C) concentrations were determined before and 2 and 4 h after an oral fat load in these patients and 10 control (CTL) subjects.
RESULTS
Plasma TG, RLP-TG and RLP-C concentrations peaked 2 h after the fat load in the CTL group, returning to baseline within 4 h. In contrast, concentrations of these variables increased throughout the 4-h study in both groups of patients with type 2 diabetes. Total integrated plasma RLP-TG and RLP-C responses above baseline after the oral fat load were significantly higher in the H-DM group compared with the CTL (p = 0.019 and 0.009, respectively) or N-DM (p = 0.026 and 0.029, respectively) groups. Post-heparin lipoprotein lipase activities and apo E phenotypes were similar in the H-DM and N-DM groups.
CONCLUSIONS
Remnant lipoprotein response to an oral fat load is significantly increased in hyperinsulinemic patients with type 2 diabetes. These changes may increase the risk of coronary heart disease in these individuals.
