    Abstract

    Objective: IGF levels, their binding proteins (IGFBPs) and high-dose statin therapy have been linked to the development of diabetes.We aimed to identify whether atorvastatin caused dose-related changes in IGF proteins. Design and methods: We measured IGF1, IGF2, IGFBP1 and IGFBP3 concentrations at baseline, 6 and 12 months in Protection Against Nephropathy in Diabetes with Atorvastatin trial participants with type 2 diabetes randomised to 10 mg (n=59) vs 80 mg (n=60) of atorvastatin (n=119; mean (S.D.): age 64 (10) years; 83% male; HbA1c 61 (10) mmol/mol; blood pressure 131/73 mmHg). Results: Atorvastatin was associated with overall reductions in circulating IGF1, IGF2 and IGFBP3 concentrations (P
