AIMS: Previous studies have suggested that plasma lipids are affected differently by the peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonists pioglitazone and rosiglitazone. The aim of this study was to perform a quantitative lipoprotein turnover study to determine the effects of PPAR-gamma agonists on lipoprotein metabolism. METHODS:Twenty-four subjects with Type 2 diabetes treated withdiet and/or metformin were randomized in a double-blind study to receive 30 mg pioglitazone, 8 mg rosiglitazone or placebo once daily for 3 months. Before and after treatment, absolute secretion rate (ASR) and fractional catabolic rate (FCR) of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apolipoprotein B100 were measured with a 10-h infusion of 1-13C leucine. RESULTS: There was a significant decrease in glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) and non-esterified fatty acids with pioglitazone (P = 0.01; P = 0.02) and rosiglitazone (P = 0.04; P = 0.003), respectively, but no change in plasma triglyceride or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Following rosiglitazone, there was a significant reduction in VLDL apolipoprotein B100 (apoB) ASR (P = 0.01) compared with baseline, a decrease in VLDLtriglyceride/apoB (P = 0.01), an increase in LDL2 cholesterol (P = 0.02) and a decrease in LDL3 cholesterol (P = 0.02). There was a decrease in VLDLtriglyceride/apoB (P = 0.04) in the pioglitazone group. There was no significant difference in change in VLDL ASR or FCR among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with Type 2 diabetes and normal lipids, treatment with rosiglitazone or pioglitazone had no significant effect on lipoprotein metabolism compared with placebo.
