We evaluated the antihypertensive activity, glucose homeostasis and plasma lipid profile in patients with mild hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus treated by diet and exercise, and not in receipt of oral hyperglycemics, following 12-month treatment with either telmisartan or eprosartan. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 119 patients with mild essential hypertension (diastolic blood pressure [DBP] 91-104 mmHg) and type 2 diabetes were divided into three groups and randomized to receive once-daily telmisartan 40 mg, eprosartan 600 mg, or placebo for 12 months. At enrollment, patients were advised on diet (1,400-1,600 kcal/day) and exercise (physical aerobics on a bicycle for at least 30 min on 4 days each week). Compared with baseline, a significant reduction (p&lt;0.01) in seated trough systolic blood pressure (SBP) was detected after 12-month treatment with either telmisartan or eprosartan. Seated trough DBP was also reduced by telmisartan (p&lt;0.01) and eprosartan (p&lt;0.05); the antihypertensive effect of telmisartan was significantly superior (p&lt;0.05). No change in body mass index or glucose metabolism was observed with either active treatment, or with placebo. Telmisartan, but not eprosartan, significantly improved plasma total cholesterol (p&lt;0.01), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p&lt;0.01) and triglycerides (p&lt;0.05) compared with eprosartan. In conclusion, 12-month telmisartan treatment produced a significantly greater reduction in DBP than eprosartan and significantly improved plasma lipids. The improvement could be due to varying pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of telmisartan compared with eprosartan, even if it is not clear about the relationship between angiotensin-II receptor blockade and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibition.
