Abstract

Aims High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) can modulate glucose metabolism through multiple mechanisms. This study determined the effects of a novel bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor (RVX-208) and putative apoA-I inducer on lipid species contained within HDL (HDL lipidome) and glucose metabolism. Materials and methods Twenty unmedicated males with prediabetes received 100 mg b.i.d. RVX-208 and placebo for 29-33 days separated by a wash-out period in a randomized, cross-over design trial. Plasma HDL-cholesterol and apoA-I were assessed as well as lipoprotein particle size and distribution using NMR spectroscopy. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) proto..
