氯氮平治疗精神分裂症血糖控制异常危险增大
以前的研究发现,氯氮平增加了胰岛素水平,表明此药可能引起胰岛素耐受性,但还缺乏此药影响葡萄糖-胰岛素内环境稳定性的资料。为此,伦敦精神病学研究所的豪伊斯(Oliver D. Howes)和同事检查了20名单用氯氮平治疗的精神分裂症病人的血糖控制和胰岛素敏感性。
研究开始时,病人都没有糖尿病或在接受控制血糖的治疗,也没有其它与葡萄糖不耐受有关的疾病。在基线评估后,根据每位病人的临床反应调整了氯氮平的用量。研究初、2-4月间按WHO的规定在禁食后9小时用标准的葡萄糖耐量试验测量了血糖水平,用内环境稳定模型评估法评估了胰岛素耐性,用高效液相层析测量了氯氮平水平。
结果表明,55%的病人糖耐量开始出现异常,其中1人发展为糖尿病,2人空腹血糖受损,8人血糖耐量异常。治疗后血糖控制异常的病人比例比治疗前显著增加(P = .006)。平均空腹血糖水平(0.55 mmol/L)和平均2小时血糖水平(1.4 mmol/L)也显著增高,但胰岛素水平、胰岛素耐性和平均身体质量指数无显著变化。
“就我们所知,这是第一个表明氯氮平治疗4个月内血浆血糖浓度增加而胰岛素耐性或身体质量指数没变的研究”,作者写道,因此,医生在决定给予氯氮平治疗时,需要考虑多糖症和糖尿病的危险。
A Prospective Study of Impairment in Glucose Control Caused by Clozapine Without Changes in Insulin Resistance
OBJECTIVE: This prospective study examines the effect of clozapine on glucose control and insulin sensitivity.
METHOD: Glucose homeostasis was measured in nine female and 11 male patients with schizophrenia (mean age=30.5 years, SD=7.4) before clozapine treatment and after a mean of 2.5 months (SD=0.95) of clozapine treatment. Oral glucose tolerance and insulin levels were measured. Insulin resistance level was measured by the homeostasis model assessment.
RESULTS: Eleven (55%) of the patients developed abnormal glucose control; the mean age of these patients was 30.2 (SD=7.1), and five were women. Patients’ insulin resistance at baseline (mean insulin resistance level=3.88, SD=2.93) was unaffected by clozapine. Mean fasting and 2-hour glucose levels significantly increased by 0.55 mmol/liter and 1.4 mmol/liter, respectively. There was no correlation between change in body mass index and change in fasting glucose levels.
CONCLUSIONS: Clozapine impairs glucose control within 4 months of treatment, independent of changes in insulin sensitivity and body mass index.
