Aim: To determine the effects of lipid lowering by TLC on insulin sensitivity and secretory status of non-obese normoglycemic hyperlipidemic subjects.
Methods: An intervention study was undertaken on 16 non-obese normoglycemic hyperlipidemic subjects. They underwent 6 months of a TLC regimen. Their insulin sensitivity and lipid status were assessed at baseline and after six months. A control group containing 16 age, sex and body mass index (BMI) matched normolipidemic subjects was also enrolled to compare the change in lipid levels and insulin sensitivity in the hyperlipidemic subjects.
Results: The intervention showed significant reductions in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR reduced from 3.8 to 1.4, p < 0.001) and improvement of insulin sensitivity (HOMA%S increased from 50.1% to 121.2%,p=0.004) in hyperlipidemic subjects with associated reductions in lipid levels. Conclusion: Lipid lowering in non-obese hyperlipidemic subjects may be associated with improvement of insulin sensitivity.
