In addition, few animal studies demonstrate that adipsin secreted from adipocytes plays a crucial role in insulin secretion and the development of T2DM. Methods To further explore the role of serum adipsin, in this prospective open label study, 55 newly diagnosed dyslipidemic patients were enrolled. Before starting statin therapy, liver function test (LFT), kidney function test (KFT), lipid profile, glycemic parameters [glycated hemoglobin A (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and postprandial blood sugar (PPBS)], serum insulin, and serum adipsin were estimated. Then these patients were prescribed statin (i.e. atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, or pitavastatin) and after 12 weeks of therapy, all the above investigations were repeated. Results After 12 weeks of statin therapy, the LFT and KFT values remained unchanged and lipid parameters showed significant improvement. But the glycemic parameters deranged significantly (p less then 0.001), i.e. FBS, PPBS, and HbA1c increased by 12.49% (102.99 ± 20.76 mg/dL), 24.72% (147.71 ± 47.29 mg/dL), and 21.43% (6.38 ± 1.34%), respectively. On the other hand, the baseline adipsin (2.73 ± 1.99 ng/mL) and insulin (16.13 ± 12.50 mIU/L) levels reduced significantly (p less then 0.0001) to 1.43 ±1.13 ng/mL and 6.91 ± 5.93 mIU/L, respectively. The reduction in serum adipsin also showed a positive correlation with reduction in serum insulin (r = 0.85; p less then 0.0001). None of the patients experienced any significant adverse effect or reaction leading to discontinuation of therapy. Conclusions There might be an association between reduction in adipsin and development of glucose intolerance by statin therapy.Background Appropriate monitoring of tobacco smoking is extremely important in seve
