ABSTRACT
Backround The effect of antihypertensive drugs on glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance remains an issue under investigation. There is evidence that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers may favorably affect glucose metabolism, while treatment with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) is considered to have an overall neutral metabolic effect. However, the effects on glycemic indices may differ among agents within the same class of antihypertensive drugs. Objective:
To evaluate the effects of different fixed-dose single pill combinations of RAS blockers with CCBs on homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).Methods:
Drug-naive patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) were randomly allocated to open-label fixed, single pill combinations of valsartan 160 mg/day plus amlodipine 5 mg/day (VAL/AMLO group, n = 54), delapril 30 mg/day and manidipine 10 mg/day (DEL/MANI group, n = 53) or telmisartan 80 mg/day and amlodipine 5 mg/day (TEL/AMLO group, n = 51) for 12 weeks. Glycemic indices and HOMA-IR were determined at baseline and post-treatment.Results:
A total of 158 patients were included. All treatment combinations effectively reduced blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) to similar levels (all p < 0.001). A decrease in the HOMA-IR index by 22.55% (p <0.01) was noted following treatment with TEL/AMLO, while an increase by 1.4% (p = 0.57) and 12.65% (p = 0.072) was observed in the VAL/AMLO group and the DEL/MANI group, respectively. These changes were significantly different between TEL/AMLO and DEL/MANI (p < 0.05) as well as between TEL/AMLO and VAL/AMLO (p < 0.001).Conclusion:
Despite similar antihypertensive action, the effect of fixed, single pill combinations with TEL/AMLO, VAL/AMLO and DEL/MANI on insulin resistance is in favor of TEL/AMLO.
