Does ezetimibe improve glucose metabolism by ameliorating hepatic function in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes?
  The results of the present study indicate that ezetimibe may improve glucose metabolism. Serum ALT levels and the AST/ALT ratio were useful predictors of a glucose metabolism response to ezetimibe. This trial was registered with UMIN (no. UMIN000005307). (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2011.00147.x, 2011).
AL in healthy normal weight or slightly overweight subjects improves the major lipoprotein components of obesity-associated dyslipidemia. This improvement occurs independent of insulin sensitivity.
