There is extensive but controversial evidence on the diverse effects of statins on the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

To identify the conditions for beneficial effects, this study investigated the response to atorvastatin and simvastatin treatment in type 2 diabetic patients with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
