Combining rosuvastatin with sartans of different peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ activating capacity is not associated with different changes in low-density lipoprotein subfractions and plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂.

Metab Syndr Relat Disord 9(3):217-23 (2011) PMID 21352079

Rosuvastatin reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (Lp-PLA₂) Some sartans partially activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), possibly having a favorable effect on metabolic parameters. Telmisartan is the most potent partial PPARγ activator, followed by irbesartan, whereas olmesartan does not hold such capacity. In an open-label randomized study, we assessed the effects of combining sartans of different PPARγ- activating capacity with rosuvastatin on LDL subfractions and plasma Lp-PLA₂ in patients with mixed dyslipidemia, hypertension, and prediabetes.
