Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Zhibitai capsules combined with liraglutide in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) complicated by metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Methods:This study used a prospective design. A total of 92 patients with T2DM complicated by MAFLD who were admitted to The People's Hospital of Liaoning Province from September 2023 to September 2024 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 46 patients in each group. Both groups received lifestyle intervention and standard antidiabetic treatment. The control group received subcutaneous injections of liraglutide, while the observation group was treated with liraglutide combined with Zhibitai capsules. All patients were treated for 3 months. Blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, blood lipid levels, liver function, and hemodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups both before and after treatment. The controlled attenuation parameter of liver fat was measured using Fibro Touch. Results:After treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and glycated hemoglobin levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.31 ± 0.40) mmol/L vs. (0.90 ± 0.30) mmol/L, t = -5.56, P < 0.001]. The levels of total cholesterol [(3.70 ± 0.80) mmol/L vs. (4.40 ± 0.90) mmol/L], triglycerides [(1.50 ± 0.40) mmol/L vs. (2.60 ± 0.50) mmol/L], and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [(1.80 ± 0.50) mmol/L vs. (2.60 ± 0.60) mmol/L] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 3.94, 11.65, 6.39, all P < 0.001). The controlled attenuation parameter of liver fat in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(249.20 ± 7.60) dB/m vs. (264.70 ± 8.70) dB/m, t = 9.10, P < 0.001]. The level of total bilirubin in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(16.40 ± 1.50) μmol/L vs. (15.00 ± 1.40) μmol/L, t = -4.63, P < 0.05], while the levels of other liver function indicators in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 4.83, 9.57, 3.66, all P < 0.001). After treatment, whole blood viscosity at high shear rates, whole blood viscosity at lower shear rates, plasma viscosity, and platelet aggregation levels were all significantly lower in the observation group compared with the control group ( t = 2.13, 2.62, 2.97, 6.15, 4.00, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Zhibitai capsules combined with liraglutide can improve blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, and liver function, while also decreasing blood viscosity in patients with T2MD complicated by MAFLD.
