Brief Summary

study effects of rosuvastatin on markers of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, in diabetic patients treated with glimepiride/metformin without coronary artery disease.

This effect will be investigated especially on sortilin ,fetuin-A

Detailed Description

A randomized controlled trial on 70 patients with DM type 2 will be recruited from Damanhour national medical institute.

* Subjects will be divided into two group (one arm is DM-type 2 patients who will receive rosuvastatin -metformin-glimepiride combination (40 patients) and another arm is DM-type 2 patient who will receive glimepiride-metformin combination (30 patients).

* Determination of serum levels of fetuin A and Sortilin

* Blood samples will be collected after 3-month after active treatment.

* Outcomes measurement : Sortilin ,fetuinA, Atherogenic index (AI) and coronary risk index (CRI) .

Methodology

* Sortilin, fetuinA will be determined by ELISA.

* Lipid profile.

* FBG and Hb A1C will be measured.

* Atherogenic index (AI = LDL-C/HDL-C) and CRI (CRI = TC/HDL-C) will be calculated for all subjects.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
serum levels of fetuin Athree months

Fetuin-A has a diagnostic potential as a biomarker for liver dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases and disorders associated with metabolic syndrome.

serum levels of Sortilinthree months

Sortilin is involved in lipid metabolism, promotes the development of atherosclerosis, and possibly becomes a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis treatment.
