    Notes: Summary The effect of simvastatin (10–20 mg/day) on kidney function, urinary albumin excretion rate and insulin sensitivity was evaluated in 18 Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with microalbuminuria and moderate hypercholesterolaemia (total cholesterol ≥5.5 mmol·l−1). In a double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled design treatment with simvastatin (n=8) for 36 weeks significantly reduced total cholesterol (6.7±0.3 vs 5.1 mmol·l−1 (p〈0.01)), LDL-cholesterol (4.4±0.3 vs 2.9±0.2 mmol·l−1 (p〈0.001)) and apolipoprotein B (1.05±0.04 vs 0.77±0.02 mmol·l−1 (p〈0.01)) levels as compared to placebo (n=10). Both glomerular filtration rate (mean±SEM) (simvastatin: 96.6±8.0 vs 96.0±5.7 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2, placebo: 97.1±6.7 vs 88.8±6.0 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2) (NS) and urinary albumin excretion rate (geometric mean x/÷ antilog SEM) (simvastatin: 18.4x/÷1.3vs 16.2 x/÷1.2 μg·min−1, placebo 33.1 x/÷ 1.3 vs 42.7 x/÷ 1.3 μg·min−1)(NS) were unchanged during the study. A euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp was performed at baseline and after 18 weeks in seven simvastatin-and nine placebo-treated patients. Isotopically determined basal and insulin-stimulated glucose disposal was similarly reduced before and during therapy in both the simvastatin (2.0±0.1 vs 1.9±0.1 (NS) and 3.1±0.6 vs 3.1±0.7 mg·kg−1·min−1 (NS)) and the placebo group (1.9±0.1 vs 1.8±0.1 (NS) and 4.1±0.6 vs 3.8±0.2 mg·kg−1·min−1 (NS)). No different was observed in glucose storage or glucose and lipid oxidation before and after treatment. Further, the suppression of hepatic glucose production during hyperinsulinaemia was not influenced by simvastatin (−0.7±0.8 vs −0.7±0.5 mg·kg−1·min−1 (NS)). In conclusion, despite marked improvement in the dyslipidaemia simvastatin had no impact on kidney function or urinary albumin excretion rate and did not reduce insulin resistance in these microalbuminuric and moderately hypercholesterolaemic Type 2 diabetic patients.

    Notes: Summary Previous studies have shown that unsaturated fat-enriched diets may have a beneficial effect on blood pressure in non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients, whereas little is known about the effects on albuminuria. In a 3-week cross-over design we compared the effects of a currently recommended high-carbohydrate diet (50% carbohydrate, 30% fat [10% monounsaturated fat]) vs a diet rich in monounsaturated fat (30% carbohydrate, 50% fat [30% monounsaturated fat]) on urinary albumin excretion rate, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure and metabolic control in ten NIDDM patients with persistent microalbuminuria. The 24-h ambulatory blood pressure was similar before and after both the high-carbohydrate diet (mean±SD: 145/78±25/10 vs 143/79±19/10 mmHg (NS) and the monounsaturated fat diet: 140/78±16/8 vs 143/79±15/8 mmHg (NS). No changes were observed in day or night-time blood pressures. Urinary albumin excretion rate was unaffected after 3 weeks' treatment by the diets: from (geometric mean ×/÷ tolerance factor) 32.4×/÷2.1 to 36.0×/÷1.9 Μg/min (NS) vs from 34.2×/÷1.9 to 32.1×/÷2.1 Μg/min (NS). Fasting plasma glucose, serum fructosamine and HbA1c as well as lipid and lipoprotein concentrations were stable during both diets. Compared to the high-carbohydrate diet a reduction in the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio was observed during the monounsaturated fat diet (p〈0.03). In conclusion, compared to a high-carbohydrate diet, 3 weeks' treatment with a monounsaturated fat diet did not affect the levels of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure or albuminuria in microalbuminuric NIDDM patients. Moreover, glycaemic control and lipoprotein levels were unchanged, although a potential beneficial effect on the LDL/HDL-cholesterol ratio was noted. Monounsaturated fat represents an alternative in the diets of NIDDM patients especially when caloric intake is not a concern.

    Notes: Summary The relation between urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE), transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb), haemostatic factors, ambulatory blood pressure, and metabolic variables was investigated in 45 Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients without overt nephropathy or uncontrolled blood pressure. We enrolled 44 patients in a placebo controlled study to test the effects of 3 week long treatment with low-molecular weight heparin (tinzaparin) on the same variables. BMI, 24 h systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma concentrations of triglycerides, fasting glucose, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor (vWf), fibrinogen, α-2 macroglobulin, and fibronectin were notably higher in patients with increased albuminuria compared with normoalbuminuric patients, whereas the TERalb was similar in the two groups. TERalb correlated with fasting plasma glucose. UAE correlated more closely than TERalb with 24 h ambulatory blood pressure, vWf, and factor VIII. Urinary albumin excretion rate was unchanged during tinzaparin [28.9 ± 5.6 vs 28.1 ± 6.0 μg/min (geometric mean (antilog SD)] vs placebo (18.0 ± 5.4 vs 17.6 ± 5.3 μg/min), and no change was found in TERalb [6.3 ± 1.6 vs 6.0 ± 1.5 %/h (means ± SD), and 6.3 ± 1.5 vs 5.6 ± 1.8 %/h; tinzaparin versus placebo, respectively]. Only minor changes were observed in blood pressure, lipids, glycaemic control and haemostatic factors. This study shows no correlation between albuminuria and transcapillary escape rate in Type II diabetic patients without overt nephropathy or uncontrolled blood pressure. UAE is related to markers of atherosclerosis, endothelial injury and dysfunction, and haemostatic factors. Moreover, UAE correlates much more than TERalb with 24 h ambulatory blood pressure, von Willebrand factor, and factor VIII. Finally, short-term treatment with tinzaparin does not change the transvascular or glomerular leakage of albumin. These results indicate that TERalb is not a sensitive marker of microvascular dysfunction in such patients and that factors other than abnormal glycosaminoglycan metabolism may contribute to the vascular damage of these patients.
