Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of obesity on change of the levels of blood glucose and blood lipid after treatment with different combinations of antihypertensive drugs in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patients with mild to moderate EH were randomly divided into 3 groups with different combinations of drugs: reserpine with dihydralazine, hydrochlorothiazide, potassium chloride group (group 1), fosinopril with indapamide group (group 2), and nifedipine with atenolol group (group 3). Treatment period lasted for 14 months. Every group was divided into obesity subgroup and non-obesity subgroup according to Chinese obesity standard. Results After treatment, blood glucose levels were significantly decreased and blood lipid level was unchanged in both obesity subgroup and non-obesity subgroup of group 1. High density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C)/low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) ratio was significantly decreased and blood glucose was significantly increased in obesity subgroup, however, there was not significant change in the level of blood glucose and blood lipid in non-obesity subgroup of group 2. Blood glucose level was significantly increased and HDL-C/LDL-C ratio was significantly decreased in obesity subgroup, however, there was significant increase only in fasting blood glucose in non-obesity subgroup of group 3. Conclusions The results suggested that treatment with a combination of reserpine and dihydralazine, hydrochlorothiazide, potassium chloride showed beneficial effect on improving carbohydrate metabolism in both obese and non-obese patients with EH, while the treatment with the combination of fosinopril with indapamide deteriorated carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in obese patients with EH, and the treatment with combination of nifedipine with atenolol impaired carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in obese patients with EH.
