Statin use and risk of diabetes mellitus - 0 views

  • An increase in new onset diabetes, i.e., 3% in statin arm and 2.4% in placebo arm was reported. This was accompanied by increase in median value of glycated haemoglobin and was one of the earlier studies to report the increase in new onset diabetes in patients on statins
  • Even after adjustment for potential confounders, statin therapy was associated with an increased risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus
  • Authors suggest that statin-induced diabetes mellitus is a medication class effect
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Another study also reported that as compared to placebo, statin group showed a higher risk of physician reported incident diabetes and it was also observed that risk was higher in women as compared to men
  • Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by Sattar et al[25] involving 91140 non-diabetic patients showed that statin therapy was associated with 9% increased risk of incident diabetes
  • A number of studies showed dose dependent association between statin administration and incident diabetes
  • intensive dose of statins was associated with high incidence of new - onset diabetes
  • Treatment with atorvastatin and simvastatin may be associated with an increased risk of new onset diabetes as compared to pravastatin
  • Increased incidence of diabetes was seen with atorvastatin in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial
  • Increased insulin resistance secondary to statins was demonstrated in a prospective non randomised study in patients with coronary bypass surgery
  • downregulation of GLUT4
  • Prevention of coronary and stroke events with atorvastatin in hypertensive patients who have average or lower-than-average cholesterol concentrations, in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial--Lipid Lowering Arm (ASCOT-LLA): a multicentre randomised controlled trial
  • Prevention of coronary and stroke events with atorvastatin in hypertensive patients who have average or lower-than-average cholesterol concentrations, in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial--Lipid Lowering Arm (ASCOT-LLA): a multicentre randomised controlled trial
  •  
    Great review article of the increased risk of worsening insulin resistance, glycated hemoglobin, and diabetes risk.  Atorvastatin appears to be the worst culprit.  Mechanism partially through a decrease in GLUT4.

Stroke Genetics And Risk Factors | Your Health Our Priority - 0 views

  •  
    Stroke is a cerebrovascular syndrome that involves the blockage and bursting of blood vessels in the brain. It shows a multifactorial pattern of inheritance. High cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, hypertension and obesity are the key causes of stroke besides inherited genes.

  •  
    This is the unified paper theory of CVD and vitamin C as published by Pauling and Rath.  Vitamin C deficiency results in a decrease in the integrity and stability of the vascular wall.  Chronic deficiency results in in an increase in and accumulation of Lp(a) which leads to atherosclerotic plaques.

    review article of 29 studies finds a reduction in blood pressure with vitamin C.  The average dosing of vitamin C was 500 mg, which is a woefully inadequate dose.  The average study follow up was 8 weeks.

Syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess. A defect in the cortisol-cortisone shuttle. - 0 views

  • These results suggest that cortisol acts as a potent mineralocorticoid in 11 beta-OHSD deficiency
  • major site for the oxidation of cortisol to cortisone is the kidney
  • congenital deficiency of 11 beta-OHSD results in high intrarenal cortisol levels which then act on renal type I mineralocorticoid receptors

  • deficiency of 11 beta-OHSD results in high intrarenal cortisol concentrations that then bind to the type I receptor.

Association of Hypertension and Hypokalemia with Cushing's Syndrome Caused by Ectopic A... - 0 views

  • cortisol may act as a mineralocorticoid when in excess, perhaps by saturating the 11β-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase (11β-HSD2 enzyme) that inactivates cortisol at the renal tubule
  • high cortisol levels may be the principal cause of hypokalemic alkalosis
  •  
    high cortisol, whether exogenous or endogenous, can have a mineral corticoid effect and resultant low potassium.
