ObjectiveIGF levels, their binding proteins (IGFBPs) and high-dose statin therapy have been linked to the development of diabetes. We aimed to identify whether atorvastatin caused dose-related changes in IGF proteins.Design and methodsWe measured IGF1, IGF2, IGFBP1 and IGFBP3 concentrations at baseline, 6 and 12 months in Protection Against Nephropathy in Diabetes with Atorvastatin trial participants with type 2 diabetes randomised to 10 mg (n=59) vs 80 mg (n=60) of atorvastatin (n=119; mean (s.d.): age 64 (10) years; 83% male; HbA1c 61 (10) mmol/mol; blood pressure 131/73 mmHg).ResultsAtorvastatin was associated with overall reductions in circulating IGF1, IGF2 and IGFBP3 concentrations (P<0.05 for all changes). The adjusted mean (95% CI) between-group differences that indicate dose-related changes in IGF proteins were not significant for IGF1: −3 (−21 to 14) ng/ml; IGF2: −23 (−65 to 18) ng/ml and IGFBP3: −0.34 (−0.71 to 0.03) μg/ml, negative values indicating numerically greater lowering with high dose. The IGFBP1 concentration did not change with atorvastatin therapy overall but the adjusted mean (95% CI) between-group difference indicating a dose-related change in log IGFBP1 was highly significant −0.41 (−0.69 to 0.13, P=0.004).ConclusionIGF1, IGF2 and IGFBP3 concentrations decreased following atorvastatin therapy. A differential effect of low- vs high-dose atorvastatin on IGFBP1 concentrations was observed with likely implications for IGF bioavailability. The dose-related differential impact of atorvastatin treatment on concentration of IGF proteins merits investigation as a mechanism to explain the worsening of glucose tolerance with statin therapy.

Recent studies indicate an important role of the kidney in postprandial glucose homeostasis in normal humans. To determine its role in the abnormal postprandial glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we used a combination of the dual-isotope technique and net balance measurements across kidney and skeletal muscle in 10 subjects with T2DM and 10 age-, weight-, and sex-matched nondiabetic volunteers after ingestion of 75 g of glucose. Over the 4.5-h postprandial period, diabetic subjects had increased mean blood glucose levels (14.1 ± 1.1 vs. 6.2 ± 0.2 mM, P < 0.001) and increased systemic glucose appearance (100.0 ± 6.3 vs. 70.0 ± 3.3 g, P < 0.001). The latter was mainly due to ∼23 g greater endogenous glucose release (39.8 ± 5.9 vs. 17.0 ± 1.8 g, P < 0.002), since systemic appearance of the ingested glucose was increased by only ∼7 g (60.2 ± 1.4 vs. 53.0 ± 2.2 g, P < 0.02). Approximately 40% of the diabetic subjects’ increased endogenous glucose release was due to increased renal glucose release (19.6 ± 3.1 vs. 10.6 ± 2.4 g, P < 0.05). Postprandial systemic tissue glucose uptake was also increased in the diabetic subjects (82.3 ± 4.7 vs. 69.8 ± 3.5 g, P < 0.05), and its distribution was altered; renal glucose uptake was increased (21.0 ± 3.5 vs. 9.8 ± 2.3 g, P < 0.03), whereas muscle glucose uptake was normal (18.5 ± 1.8 vs. 25.9 ± 3.3 g, P = 0.16). We conclude that, in T2DM, 1) both liver and kidney contribute to postprandial overproduction of glucose, and 2) postprandial renal glucose uptake is increased, resulting in a shift in the relative importance of muscle and kidney for glucose disposal. The latter may provide an explanation for the renal glycogen accumulation characteristic of diabetes mellitus as well as a mechanism by which hyperglycemia may lead to diabetic nephropathy.

To assess mechanisms for postprandial hyperglycemia, we used a triple-isotope technique ([\3-3H]glucose and [14C]bicarbonate and oral [6,6-dideutero]glucose iv) and indirect calorimetry to compare components of glucose release and pathways for glucose disposal in 26 subjects with type 2 diabetes and 15 age-, weight-, and sex-matched normal volunteers after a standard meal. The results were as follows: 1) diabetic subjects had greater postprandial glucose release ( P < 0.001) because of both increased endogenous and meal-glucose release; 2) the greater endogenous glucose release ( P < 0.001) was due to increased gluconeogenesis ( P < 0.001) and glycogenolysis ( P = 0.01); 3) overall tissue glucose uptake, glycolysis, and storage were comparable in both groups ( P > 0.3); 4) glucose clearance ( P < 0.001) and oxidation ( P = 0.004) were reduced, whereas nonoxidative glycolysis was increased ( P = 0.04); and 5) net splanchnic glucose storage was reduced by ∼45% ( P = 0.008) because of increased glycogen cycling ( P = 0.03). Thus in type 2 diabetes, postprandial hyperglycemia is primarily due to increased glucose release; hyperglycemia overcomes the effects of impaired insulin secretion and sensitivity on glucose transport, but intracellular defects persist so that pathways of glucose metabolism are abnormal and glucose is shunted away from normal sites of storage (e.g., liver and muscle) into other tissues.
