“…Previous studies have shown that ARBs decrease plasma glucose [ 53 , 54 ] and report improvements in insulin resistance [ 55 ], yet other studies report no changes [ 56 , 57 ]. Therefore, to better address the existing discrepancies in the literature, we measured plasma glucose and insulin statically over time and dynamically in response to the glucose load.…”

Purpose Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) can ameliorate metabolic syndrome (MetS)-associated dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and glucose intolerance, suggesting that angiotensin receptor (AT1) over-activation contributes to impaired lipid and glucose metabolism, which is characteristic of MetS. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the lipid profile and proteins of fatty acid uptake, triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis, and β-oxidation to better understand the links between AT1 overactivation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) during MetS. Methods Four groups of 25-week-old-rats were used: (1) untreated LETO, (2) untreated OLETF, (3) OLETF + angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB; 10 mg olmesartan/kg/d × 8 weeks) and (4) OLETF ± ARB (MINUS; 10 mg olmesartan/kg/d × 4 weeks, then removed until dissection). To investigate the dynamic shifts in metabolism, animals were dissected after an oral glucose challenge (fasting, 3 and 6 h post-glucose). Results Compared to OLETF, plasma total cholesterol and TAG remained unchanged in ARB. However, liver TAG was 55% lesser in ARB than OLETF, and remained lower throughout the challenge. Basal CD36 and ApoB were 28% and 29% lesser, respectively, in ARB than OLETF. PRDX6 abundance in ARB was 45% lesser than OLETF, and it negatively correlated with liver TAG in ARB. Conclusions Chronic blockade of AT1 protects the liver from TAG accumulation during glucose overload. This may be achieved by modulating NEFA uptake and increasing TAG export via ApoB. Our study highlights the contributions of AT1 signaling to impaired hepatic substrate metabolism and the detriments of a high-glucose load and its potential contribution to steatosis during MetS.

“…In previous study, statins therapy are associated with the higher risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Fortunately, RAS inhibitors attenuate the endothelial dysfunction and risk of insulin resistance ( 21 ). In this regard, combined therapy with statins and RAS inhibitors not only demonstrates additive/synergistic effects on endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance but also lowering cholesterol levels and blood pressure (BP) when compared with either monotherapy in patients having hypertension, hyperlipidemia ( 22 ).…”

ObjectiveWe investigated the effects of medication on heart disease and ischemic stroke (HDS) risk in patients with predominant bronchiectasis-asthma combination (BCAS).MethodsBCAS and non-BCAS cohorts (N = 588 and 1,118, respectively) were retrospectively enrolled. The cumulative incidence of HDS was analyzed using Cox proportional regression; propensity scores were estimated using non-parsimonious multivariable logistic regression. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for HDS were calculated, adjusting for sex, age, comorbidities, and medication {long- and short-acting β2 agonists and muscarinic antagonists (LABAs/SABAs and LAMAs/SAMAs), steroids [inhaled corticosteroid steroids (ICSs), oral steroids (OSs)], antiarrhythmics, antidepressants (fluoxetine), benzodiazepines (alprazolam, fludiazepam), statins and antihypertensive drugs (diuretics, cardioselective beta blockers, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), angiotensin II blockers)}.ResultsCompared with the non-BCAS cohort, the BCAS cohort taking LABAs, SABAs, SAMAs, ICSs, OSs, antiarrhythmics, and alprazolam had an elevated HDS risk [aHRs (95% CIs): 2.36 (1.25–4.33), 2.65 (1.87–3.75), 2.66 (1.74–4.05), 2.53 (1.61–3.99), 1.76 (1.43–2.18), 9.88 (3.27–30.5), and 1.73 (1.15–2.58), respectively except fludiazepam 1.33 (0.73–2.40)]. The aHRs (95% CIs) for LABAs ≤ 30 days, DDDs <415, ICSs ≤ 30 days were 1.10 (0.38–3.15), 2.95 (0.22–38.8), 1.45 (0.76–2.77). The aHRs (95% CIs) for current and recent alprazolam were 1.78 (1.09–2.93) and 777.8 (1.34–451590.0); for current and past fludiazepam were 1.39 (0.75–2.59) and 1.29 (0.42–4.01) and for past alprazolam was 1.57 (0.55–4.46); respectively. The aHRs (95% CIs) for alprazolam >30 DDDs, fludiazepam >20 DDDs, ICSs ≦415 DDDs, and OSs DDDs ≦15 were 1.60 (0.78–3.29), 2.43 (0.90–6.55), 5.02 (1.76–14.3), and 2.28 (1.43–3.62), respectively.ConclusionThe bronchodilators, steroids, and antiarrhythmics were associated with higher risk of HDS, even low dose use of steroids. However, the current use of LABAs/ICSs were not associated with HDS. Benzodiazepines were relatively safe, except for current or recent alprazolam use. Notably, taking confounders into account is crucial in observational studies.

Introduction This meta-analysis aimed to summarize the available evidence to compare angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors with angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) on improving insulin sensitivity in hypertensive patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ACE inhibitors versus ARBs published with outcomes on homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), glucose infusion rate (GIR), the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) composite, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin (FPI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were searched through 5 databases. Data were searched from their inception to July 5, 2020. Stata 14.0 was used to perform the meta-analysis. Results Eleven RCTs (n = 1015) were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled analysis of studies showed no significant difference in HOMA-IR between ARBs and ACE inhibitors (WMD = -0.09, 95% CI: -0.69 to 0.50, P = 0.755); however, subgroup analysis of therapeutic duration showed a significant difference in HOMA-IR between ARBs and ACE inhibitors among the long-term intervention subgroup (>12 weeks) (WMD = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.76, P = 0.022) and hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus subgroup (WMD = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.49 to 0.61, P < 0.001); results showed no significant difference between ARBs and ACE inhibitors on QUICKI score (WMD = -0.00, 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.03, P = 0.953) in hypertensive patients; however, the efficacy of ACE inhibitors on improving GIR and ISI composite was significantly better than that of ARBs (WMD = -1.09, 95% CI: -1.34 to -0.85, P < 0.001; WMD = -0.80, 95% CI: -1.24 to -0.36, P < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, no significant differences were noted on FPG (WMD = 0.72, 95% CI: -1.39 to 2.83, P = 0.505), FPI (WMD = -0.48, 95% CI: -1.60 to 0.64, P = 0.398), SBP (WMD = -0.65, 95% CI: -1.76 to 0.46, P = 0.254), and DBP (WMD = -0.30, 95% CI: -1.70 to 1.10, P = 0.675) between ARBs and ACE inhibitors. Conclusion Results from this meta-analysis showed that ACE inhibitors resulted in more effective improvement of HOMA-IR compared with ARBs among the long-term intervention and hypertensive patients with DM subgroup; furthermore, the efficacy of ACE inhibitors on improving GIR and ISI composite was significantly better than that of ARBs in hypertensive patients. However, ARBs had no significant difference in QUICKI score, FPG, FPI, SBP, and DBP compared with ACE inhibitors. Larger and better-designed studies are needed to further verify this conclusion.
