Effect of Pravastatin and Atorvastatin on Glucose Metabolism in NonDiabetic Patients with Hypercholesterolemia

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of hydrophilic pravastatin and lipophilic atorvastatin on glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism in nondiabetic patients with hypercholesterolemia. Methods: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), lowde...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of hydrophilic pravastatin and lipophilic atorvastatin on glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism in nondiabetic patients with hypercholesterolemia. Methods: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), and triglyceride (TG) levels were determined before and after statin treatment. Patients: A total of 44 nondiabetic patients (FPG ≤125 mg/mL; HbA1c
