Low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and small HDL particle size may directly promote hyperglycemia. We evaluated associations of HDL-C, apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), and HDL-C/apoA-I with insulin secretion, insulin resistance, HbA1c, and long-term glycemic deterioration, reflected by initiation of pharmacologic glucose control.
The 5-year Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) study followed 9,795 type 2 diabetic subjects. We calculated baseline associations of fasting HDL-C, apoA-I, and HDL-C/apoA-I with HbA1c and, in those not taking exogenous insulin (n = 8,271), with estimated β-cell function (homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function [HOMA-B]) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Among the 2,608 subjects prescribed lifestyle only, Cox proportional hazards analysis evaluated associations of HDL-C, apoA-I, and HDL-C/apoA-I with subsequent initiation of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) or insulin.
Adjusted for age and sex, baseline HDL-C, apoA-I, and HDL-C/apoA-I were inversely associated with HOMA-IR (r = -0.233, -0.134, and -0.230; all P < 0.001; n = 8,271) but not related to HbA1c (all P > 0.05; n = 9,795). ApoA-I was also inversely associated with HOMA-B (r = -0.063; P = 0.002; n = 8,271) adjusted for age, sex, and HOMA-IR. Prospectively, lower baseline HDL-C and HDL-C/apoA-I levels predicted greater uptake (per 1-SD lower: hazard ratio [HR] 1.13 [CI 1.07-1.19], P < 0.001; and HR 1.16 [CI 1.10-1.23], P < 0.001, respectively) and earlier uptake (median 12.9 and 24.0 months, respectively, for quartile 1 vs. quartile 4; both P < 0.01) of OHAs and insulin, with no difference in HbA1c thresholds for initiation (P = 0.87 and P = 0.81). Controlling for HOMA-IR and triglycerides lessened both associations, but HDL-C/apoA-I remained significant.
HDL-C, apoA-I, and HDL-C/apoA-I were associated with concurrent insulin resistance but not HbA1c. However, lower HDL-C and HDL-C/apoA-I predicted greater and earlier need for pharmacologic glucose control.
低水平高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)和小粒径高密度脂蛋白颗粒可能直接促进高血糖。我们评估了 HDL-C、载脂蛋白 A-I(apoA-I)和 HDL-C/apoA-I 与胰岛素分泌、胰岛素抵抗、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)以及长期血糖恶化的关系,反映为启动药物控制血糖。
为期 5 年的非诺贝特干预和糖尿病事件降低(FIELD)研究纳入了 9795 例 2 型糖尿病患者。我们计算了空腹 HDL-C、apoA-I 和 HDL-C/apoA-I 与 HbA1c 的基线关联,并且在未服用外源性胰岛素的患者(n=8271)中,与胰岛素β细胞功能(稳态模型评估的β细胞功能[HOMA-B])和胰岛素抵抗(HOMA-IR)的关系。在 2608 例仅接受生活方式治疗的患者中,Cox 比例风险分析评估了 HDL-C、apoA-I 和 HDL-C/apoA-I 与随后开始使用口服降糖药(OHA)或胰岛素的关系。
校正年龄和性别后,基线 HDL-C、apoA-I 和 HDL-C/apoA-I 与 HOMA-IR 呈负相关(r=-0.233、-0.134 和-0.230;均 P<0.001;n=8271),但与 HbA1c 无关(均 P>0.05;n=9795)。apoA-I 也与 HOMA-B 呈负相关(r=-0.063;P=0.002;n=8271),校正年龄、性别和 HOMA-IR 后仍如此。前瞻性研究显示,较低的基线 HDL-C 和 HDL-C/apoA-I 水平预示着更大的药物治疗需求(每降低 1-SD:风险比[HR]1.13[95%CI 1.07-1.19],P<0.001;和 HR 1.16[95%CI 1.10-1.23],P<0.001)和更早的药物治疗需求(四分位数 1 与四分位数 4 相比,中位数分别为 12.9 和 24.0 个月;均 P<0.01),而启动药物治疗的 HbA1c 阈值没有差异(P=0.87 和 P=0.81)。校正 HOMA-IR 和甘油三酯后,这两种关联均有所减弱,但 HDL-C/apoA-I 仍有显著意义。
HDL-C、apoA-I 和 HDL-C/apoA-I 与同时存在的胰岛素抵抗有关,但与 HbA1c 无关。然而,较低的 HDL-C 和 HDL-C/apoA-I 预示着更大和更早的药物控制血糖的需求。
