Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Considering the documented, potentially undesirable influence of various thiazide-type or loop diuretics on serum lipoproteins, we prospectively investigated in 69 men (mean age +/- SEM, 32 +/- 1 years) the metabolic effects of the new diuretic-antihypertensive compound indapamide. Compared to placebo, indapamide (2.5 mg/day) given for 6 to 8 weeks lowered (p less than 0.02 to less than 0.001) blood pressure (supine values from 148/98 +/- 3/2 to 137/93 +/- 3/2) in 29 men with mild to moderate essential hypertension, but not in 40 healthy men. In both groups, significant (p less than 0.05 to less than 0.001) decreases in body weight (-0.8 kg) and plasma potassium (-0.6 mmol/L), and increases in plasma uric acid (+20%), renin activity (+200%), and aldosterone documented good compliance. There were no significant changes in total cholesterol (in all subjects, from 208 +/- 6 to 213 +/- 6 mg/dl), low- or very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (127 +/- 6 to 129 +/- 6 and 21 +/- 1 to 21 +/- 2 respectively), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (50 +/- 1 to 51 +/- 1 mg/dl), total triglycerides (Tg) (108 +/- 5 to 112 +/- 6 mg/dl), VLDL-Tg, apoproteins A1 and A2, plasma glucose, epinephrine, norepinephrine, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and creatinine; apoprotein B (84 +/- 2 to 88 +/- 3 mg/dl) and plasma insulin after glucose loading dose tended to be increased minimally. The absence of distinct lipoprotein alterations after short-term indapamide treatment may be of clinical and epidemiological interest.
