The Effect of Colestimide on Visceral Fat Mass and Cytokine Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Bile acid–binding resins (BABRs) improve hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, and the BABR colesevelam has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as an antihyperglycemic agent. Colestimide (colestilan) is a new type of anion resin that increases the number of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptors and decreases serum cholesterol levels by promoting the excretion of bile acids and inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine; with these changes, the serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol decreases.
