Abstract
The extent to which atorvastatin treatment affects LDL size, LDL subfraction levels and remnant-like particle cholesterol (RLP-C) was determined in type 2 diabetes. We also compared LDL size and RLP-C in relation to guideline cut-off values for LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) B. Changes in LDL size and RLP-C were determined in fasting plasma from type 2 diabetic patients after 30 weeks administration of atorvastatin (10 mg daily, n=65; 80 mg daily, n=62) or placebo (n=58). LDL subfraction cholesterol was measured in 74 participants. Atorvastatin lowered LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apo B and RLP-C (P
