ABSTRACT
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is mainly expressed by Kupffer cells in the liver. A reduction of hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC) by pioglitazone or caloric restriction is accompanied by a decrease in circulating CETP. Since GLP-1 analogues also reduce HTGC, we assessed whether liraglutide decreases CETP. Furthermore, we investigated the association between HTGC and CETP in a population-based cohort. In a placebo-controlled trial, 50 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to treatment with liraglutide or placebo added to standard care. In this trial and in 1,611 participants of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study, we measured HTGC and circulating CETP by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ELISA, respectively. The HTGC was decreased in the liraglutide group (-6.3%; 95%CI of difference [-9.5, -3.0]) but also in the placebo group (-4.0%; 95%CI[-6.0, -2.0]), without between-group differences. CETP was not decreased by liraglutide (-0.05 µg/mL; 95%CI[-0.13, 0.04]) or placebo (-0.04 µg/mL; 95%CI[-0.12, 0.04]). No association was present between HTGC and CETP at baseline (ß 0.002 µg/mL per %TG, 95%CI[-0.005, 0.009]) and between the changes after treatment with liraglutide (ß 0.003 µg/mL per %TG, 95%CI[-0.010, 0.017]) or placebo (ß 0.006 µg/mL per %TG, 95%CI[-0.012,0.024]). Also, in the cohort n o association between HTGC and CETP was present (ß -0.001 µg/mL per SD TG, 95%CI[-0.005, 0.003]). A reduction of HTGC after treatment with liraglutide or placebo does not decrease circulating CETP. Also, no association between HTGC and CETP was present in a large cohort. These findings indicate that circulating CETP is not determined by HTGC.Clinical Trial Registration Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01761318).
