Résumé
Postprandial hyperlipidaemia is an important feature of diabetic dyslipidaemia and plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Postprandial hyperlipidaemia in type 2 diabetes is secondary to increased chylomicron production by the enterocytes and delayed catabolism of chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants. Insulin and some intestinal hormones (e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1]) influence intestinal lipid metabolism. In individuals with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and possibly reduced GLP-1 secretion are involved in the pathophysiology of postprandial hyperlipidaemia. Several factors are involved in the overproduction of chylomicrons: (1) increased expression of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, which is a key enzyme in chylomicron synthesis; (2) higher stability and availability of apolipoprotein B-48; and (3) increased de novo lipogenesis. Individuals with type 2 diabetes present with disorders of cholesterol metabolism in the enterocytes with reduced absorption and increased synthesis. The increased production of chylomicrons in type 2 diabetes is also associated with a reduction in their catabolism, mostly because of a reduction in activity of lipoprotein lipase. Modification of the microbiota, which is observed in type 2 diabetes, may also generate disorders of intestinal lipid metabolism, but human data remain limited. Some glucose-lowering treatments significantly influence intestinal lipid absorption and transport. Postprandial hyperlipidaemia is reduced by metformin, pioglitazone, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists. The most pronounced effect is observed with GLP-1 agonists, which reduce chylomicron production significantly in individuals with type 2 diabetes and have a direct effect on the intestine by reducing the expression of genes involved in intestinal lipoprotein metabolism. The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on intestinal lipid metabolism needs to be clarified.
