Studies have reported an increased risk of developing diabetes in subjects receiving statins versus placebo. Our purpose was to compare the effects of maximal doses of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on plasma levels of the insulin, glycated albumin (GA), adiponectin (ADN), and C reactive protein (CRP) versus baseline in hyperlipidemic patients. We studied 252 hyperlipidemic men and women who were randomized to receive atorvastatin 80 mg/day or rosuvastatin 40 mg/day over a 6-week period. Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin were both highly effective in lowering low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels, with rosuvastatin being more effective than atorvastatin in raising high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin at maximum dosage both significantly (p<0.05) raised median insulin levels by 5.2% and 8.7% respectively from baseline. However, only atorvastatin increased GA levels from baseline (+0.8% for atorvastatin vs −0.7% for rosuvastatin, p=0.002). Both atorvastatin and rosuvastatin caused significant (p<0.001) and similar median reductions in CRP of −40% and −26% as compared to baseline values respectively. However, there was no statistical significant difference between the two groups in ADN changes from baseline (−1.5% vs −4.9%, p=0.15). In conclusion, our data indicated that maximum dosage of atorvastatin or rosuvastatin therapy significantly lower CRP levels, but also moderately increase insulin levels.
