The atherogenic dyslipidemia complex and novel approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention in diabetes

Abstract

Despite the effectiveness of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-lowering strategies for the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia, significant residual risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains. Residual risk might in part be explained by lipid abnormalities that go beyond LDL cholesterol elevation, collectively termed the "atherogenic dyslipidemia complex (ADC)," consisting of hypertriglyceridemia, elevated small dense LDL particles, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein particle numbers, increased remnant lipoproteins, and postprandial hyperlipidemia. In this review, we briefly discuss the pathophysiology of the typical dyslipidemia that occurs in insulin-resistant states including obesity, the metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Lipid-modifying strategies including lifestyle modification, ezetimibe, statins, fibrates, niacin, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors in treating ADC are discussed. With the advent of novel therapies involving antisense oligonucleotides and monoclonal antibodies, new targets can be specifically downregulated to potentially promote lipoprotein clearance or suppress production. We review novel approaches currently undergoing clinical testing and we speculate on their suitability for use in treating ADC for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In addition, future targets that might be considered for therapeutic development are discussed.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Apo C-III inhibits removal of remnants; in states of increased VLDL secretion with elevated apo C-III, uptake of remnant particles is reduced, compounding dyslipidaemia.

    “Also, apo C-III inhibits removal of remnants; thus in states of increased VLDL secretion, when apo C-III is elevated, uptake of remnant particles will be reduced, compounding the dyslipidaemia.16”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
