The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pioglitazone on lipid profiles in relation to glycemic control. Eighty-one treatment-naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus received pioglitazone monotherapy. Subjects who had >= 1% reduction in hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) levels were defined as responders (n = 47) and those with < 1% reduction as nonresponders (n = 34). At 3 months, the HbA(1c) levels and several lipid parameters were compared with baseline values. Because it is known that the response to some antihyperglycemic agents is proportional to baseline HbA(1c) levels, the changes (Delta) in these parameters were compared for 2 groups based on their Delta HbA(1c)/baseline HbA(1c) ratio. The lowest tertile was called superresponders (n = 25) and highest tertile was called extreme nonresponders (n = 24). At baseline, HbA(1c) levels and body mass index (BMI) were significantly higher in responders; no significant differences were observed in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, or non-HDL-C between the 2 groups. At 3 months, significant decreases in TGs and increases in HDL-C were observed in both groups. In contrast, TC, non-HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio significantly decreased in responders. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol had a tendency to decrease in responders. However, these parameters were nonsignificantly increased in nonresponders. Body mass index significantly increased in responders, while it slightly increased in nonresponders. Analysis of covariance revealed that significant intergroup differences existed with TC, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, while no such differences were observed with TGs, HDL-C, and BMI. Very similar results were obtained with super-responders and extreme nonresponders. These results suggest that approximately 40% of the treatment naive Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus were nonresponders to pioglitazone, and differential regulations of lipid parameters exist between responders and nonresponders treated with pioglitazone. Bad cholesterols (eg, TC, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C) were reduced only in responders. Irrespective of its efficacy on glycemic control, pioglitazone can significantly downregulate TGs and upregulate HDL-C levels.
