Atorvastatin increases low-density lipoprotein size and enhances high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration in male, but not in female patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract:

:The effects of atorvastatin (Lipitor) were evaluated in 40 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Following a 6 week drug-free baseline period 20 male and 20 female patients were treated with atorvastatin 40 mg once daily (QD) for the initial 6 weeks increasing to 80 mg QD during the following 6 weeks. Atorvastatin 40 and 80 mg resulted in a dose related reduction in LDL cholesterol of 44 and 50% (P<0.001), respectively. The reduction of triglycerides (TG) was 35% (P<0.001) with 40 and 80 mg atorvastatin. The lipoprotein lipase and the hepatic lipase activity decreased dose independently by 13% (P<0.05) and 18% (P<0.01), respectively. In males, a dose independent increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration was observed of 8%, (P<0.05). In females, the HDL cholesterol concentration did not change. Baseline LDL size in the females was significantly larger than in the males, being 268+/-6 A and 264+/-8 A (P<0.05), respectively. In males LDL size increased significantly from 264+/-8 A at baseline to269+/-6 A at 40 mg (P<0.05) and to 270+/-5 A (P<0.05) at 80 mg atorvastatin. In females LDL size did not change upon treatment with atorvastatin 40 and 80 mg QD. In conclusion, atorvastatin has the ability to decrease cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations as well as the activity of both lipoprotein and hepatic lipase activity. Additionally it has a favorable effect on LDL size and HDL cholesterol concentration in male, but not in female FH patients.
