Abstract

Objective: We assessed the effect of orlistat and fenofibrate, alone or in combination, on plasma high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions and plasma pre‐beta1‐HDL levels in overweight and obese subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: Patients (n = 89) were prescribed a low‐fat low‐calorie diet and were randomly allocated to receive orlistat 120 mg three times daily (O group), micronized fenofibrate 200 mg/day (F group) or both (OF group) for 6 months. HDL subfractions were determined using a polyacrylamide gel tube electrophoresis method and pre‐beta1‐HDL levels using enzyme‐linked immunoabsorbent assay. Results: We observed a significant change of high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) levels only in the F group (+3%, p < 0.05). Large HDL‐C levels were significantly increased and small HDL‐C levels were significantly reduced with O administration. In F group we observed a significant increase of small HDL‐C levels. No significant change of large or small HDL‐C levels was observed with combination treatment. We observed a significant increase of pre‐beta1‐HDL levels in all groups, which was significantly greater in OF group compared with O or F monotherapy. Conclusion: OF combination increased the antiatherogenic pre‐beta1‐HDL levels in overweight and obese patients with MetS. Furthermore, OF combination counterbalanced the reduction of small HDL‐C levels observed with orlistat monotherapy.

  • Fenofibrate treatment typically reduces serum triglycerides by a mean change of −93.7 mg/dL (−39.3%), increases high density lipoprotein cholesterol by +5.5 mg/dL (+12.4%), and reduces low density lipoprotein cholesterol by −17.9 mg/dL (−12.3%).

    “Typical changes in serum lipids as a result of FF treatment include clinically important mean reductions of serum triglycerides (TG) by a mean change of −93.7 mg/dL (−39.3%), increases of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) by +5.5 mg/dL (+12.4%), and reductions in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) by −17.9 mg/dL (−12.3%).”

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.
