摘要：Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is a genetic disorder associated with impaired postprandial lipid clearance. The effect of adding bezafibrate to standard lipid-lowering therapy on postprandial and fasting lipid levels in patients with FD is unknown. In this randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover trial, 15 patients with FD received bezafibrate and placebo for 6 weeks in randomized order in addition to standard lipid-lowering therapy (statin, ezetimibe, and/or lifestyle). We assessed post-fat load lipids, expressed as incremental area under the curve (iAUC) and area under the curve (AUC), as well as fasting levels and safety, and found that adding bezafibrate did not reduce post-fat load non-HDL-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) iAUC (1.78 ± 4.49 mmol·h/l vs. 1.03 ± 2.13 mmol·h/l, P = 0.57), but did reduce post-fat load triglyceride (TG) iAUC (8.05 ± 3.32 mmol·h/l vs. 10.61 ± 5.92 mmol·h/l, P = 0.03) and apoB (0.64 ± 0.62 g·h/l vs. 0.93 ± 0.71 g·h/l, P = 0.01). Furthermore, bezafibrate significantly improved AUC and fasting levels of non-HDL-C, TG, total cholesterol, HDL-C, and apoB. Bezafibrate was associated with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (78.4 ± 11.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. 86.1 ± 5.85 ml/min/1.73 m2, P = 0.002). In conclusion, in patients with FD, the addition of bezafibrate to standard lipid-lowering therapy resulted in improved post-fat load and fasting plasma lipids. Combination therapy of statin/fibrate could be considered as standard lipid-lowering treatment in FD.
