Statin users without an APOE-epsilon4 allele have increased insulin resistance.
The present study examined the relationships among statin use, APOE genotype, and insulin resistance as measured by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in healthy older adults. APOE epsilon4- (i.e., not having an epsilon4 allele) statin users had higher HOMA-IR values compared with epsilon4+/statin users (p=0.0169), and with non-users who were epsilon4- (p=0.0003) or epsilon4+ (p=0.0006). These results suggest that statin use may modulate insulin levels for individuals without an APOE epsilon4 allele.
