Although metabolic disturbances are often observed in obese patients, increased accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (AT) has been shown to be more closely associated with high fasting triglyceride (TG) and insulin levels as well as with low HDL cholesterol concentrations than with excess body fatness per se. Interestingly, the fasting concentration of plasma TGs has been shown to be an important determinant of the magnitude and duration of the postprandial TG response. Yet little is known about the respective contributions of obesity versus excess visceral AT to the variation in postprandial TG clearance. In the present study, we examined potential differences in postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) responses in subjects characterized by high versus low levels of visceral AT. In a sample of 43 men (mean age: 41.3 +/- 9.6 years), we found that both excess body fat and visceral obesity were associated with increased postprandial TG responses in total TRL (r = 0.33-0.45). We also found a strong relationship between fasting plasma TG levels and postprandial total TRL-TG concentrations (r = 0.79, P < 0.0001). When matched for total body fat mass, individuals with high levels of visceral AT (> or =130 cm2; n = 10) as assessed by computed tomography were characterized by increased medium- and small-TRL-TG responses (P < 0.05) compared with subjects with low visceral AT accumulation (<130 cm2; n = 10). Moreover, this elevated response of small-TRL triglycerides noted in men with high levels of visceral AT was not accompanied by a concomitant increased retinyl palmitate response in this TRL fraction, suggesting that visceral obesity in men is accompanied by higher postprandial VLDL production than is found in obese men with lower levels of visceral AT. Increased postprandial insulin and free fatty acid (FFA) responses were also noted in men with high levels of visceral AT. Finally, postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity was negatively correlated with the total-TRL-TG response in a subsample of 32 individuals (r = -0.37, P < 0.05). The results of the present study suggest that visceral obesity is associated with an impaired postprandial TG clearance. Furthermore, the exaggerated postprandial FFA response observed in subjects with high visceral AT suggests that visceral obesity may contribute to fasting and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia by altering FFA metabolism in the postprandial state. 相似文献

Smokers have an increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), which can only partly be explained by fasting lipoprotein changes. Recent studies have indicated that smokers express metabolic abnormalities characteristic of insulin resistance syndrome. A preliminary study reported an increased postprandial triglyceride (TG) response in smokers compared with nonsmokers. To investigate the effect of smoking on postprandial lipemia, a fat-rich mixed meal (837 kcal, 63 g of fat) was served to 12 healthy smokers and 12 controls with similar fasting lipoprotein profiles, body composition, and lifestyles. Blood was drawn before and 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours postprandially, and triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) fractions (chylomicrons, VLDL1, VLDL2, and IDL) were separated with density gradient ultracentrifugation. Pre- and postprandial TG, retinyl esters (RE), apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) and B-100 (apoB-100) were measured in each fraction. Smokers showed a significantly increased postprandial TG response in chylomicrons, VLDL1, and VLDL2. The areas under the incremental curve (AUIC) of apoB-48 in chylomicrons (2.83 +/- 0.84 versus 0.56 +/- 0.17; P < .05) and VLDL1 (10.17 +/- 1.96 versus 2.95 +/- 2.44; P = < .01) were markedly higher in smokers than in controls. Changes of RE responses of all TRL fractions were consistent with those of apoB-48. Postprandial apoB-100 concentrations and lipolytic enzymes were similar between the two groups. In conclusion, smokers have the syndrome of impaired TG tolerance because of defective clearance of chylomicrons and their remnants. Prolonged residence time of atherogenic remnant particles may constitute a significant risk factor for CAD in smokers. 相似文献

We have previously reported that normolipidemic smokers are lipid intolerant due to increased responses of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) apolipoprotein B-48, triglyceride (TG), and retinyl esters to a mixed meal compared to non-smokers. To investigate whether postprandial high density lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II), and apolipoprotein E (apoE) concentrations or lipid transfer protein activities are affected by cigarette smoking, we investigated 12 male smokers and 12 non-smokers with comparable fasting lipoprotein profile, BMI, and age. Plasma samples obtained after an overnight fast and postprandially were separated by density gradient ultracentrifugation. Postprandial apoA-I, lipoprotein AI-particles (LpA-I), HDL-cholesterol, and HDL apoE concentrations decreased in smokers, but remained unchanged in controls. Concomitantly, cholesterol and apoE concentrations increased significantly in TRL fractions in smokers. Fasting lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity levels, as well as esterification rates (EST) and phospholipid transfer rates were comparable between the groups. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity levels were lower in the smokers. Postprandially EST increased, but CETP and PLTP activities deceased in smokers as compared to controls. We conclude, that even healthy, normolipidemic smokers have altered postprandial high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein composition, as well as lipid transfer protein activities. The shift of cholesterol and apoE from HDL to the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) fraction, together with decreased plasma apoA-I and LpA-I concentrations during alimentary lipemia may indicate impaired reverse cholesterol transport. Both the postprandial increase in TRL and the lowering of HDL may promote atherogenesis in smokers. 相似文献

Triglyceride levels and free fatty acid metabolism are influenced by body fat distribution. To test whether the pattern of fat distribution in obese subjects results in distinct insulin mediated suppression of non-esterified fatty acids which could account for differences in plasma triglycerides, we studied 59 obese subjects who were classified according to waist-to-hip ratio. Non-esterified fatty acids and insulin response to a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test were higher in abdominal obesity. Total non-esterified fatty acids response, after adjustment for sex, showed a positive association with waist-to hip ratio (r = 0.292; p < 0.05). The abdominal obese group had higher fasting triglycerides (1.74+/-0.83 versus 1.11+/-0.71 mmol/L; p = 0.003) and lower glucose/insulin ratio (5.2+/-2.3 versus 7.1+/-2.4; p = 0.003). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that triglyceride levels are explained by fasting and 120 min non-esterified fatty acids and by glucose/insulin ratio. We conclude that abdominal obesity is associated with a higher resistance to insulin mediated suppression of non-esterified fatty acids in obese subjects. Variation of triglyceride concentrations in obesity is dependent on both fasting and 120 min non-esterified fatty acids as well as on insulin sensitivity to glucose utilization. 相似文献

In hypertriglyceridemic states, triglyceride enrichment of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may play an important role in decreasing the HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) A-1 plasma concentration. We have shown previously that HDL particles are transformed into small HDLs when lipolysis is stimulated in vivo or in vitro, and this process is more marked if the HDL is triglyceride-rich. The present study was conducted to determine whether the susceptibility of HDL to transformation can be altered by triglyceride-lowering therapy in humans. Seventeen moderately hypertriglyceridemic individuals (nine with type II diabetes mellitus and eight moderately hypertriglyceridemic nondiabetic subjects) were studied before and after 3 months of triglyceride-lowering therapy with gemfibrozil. Since no significant differences in postprandial and postheparin HDL metabolism were detected between type II diabetic and nondiabetic subjects, results are reported for the two groups combined (N = 17). Fasting HDL was triglyceride-rich with a preponderance of HDL3, and became more enriched with triglycerides postprandially. Heparin administration resulted in a rapid decrease in plasma and HDL triglycerides and an increase in plasma and HDL free fatty acids (FFAs). Postheparin, there was a reduction in HDL size and an increase in the proportion of small (HDL3c) HDL particles (HDL3c constituted 7.1% +/- 1.8% of total HDL preheparin and 26.6% +/- 3.8% postheparin, P < .001). Triglyceride-lowering treatment resulted in a decrease in fasting triglycerides (-54%, P < .001) and HDL triglyceride content (-36%, P = .002), an increase in fasting HDL cholesterol (19%, P = .004), and proportionately fewer (13.2% +/- 2.1%, P < .001) HDL3c particles formed postheparin. Postheparin HDL size correlated inversely with the fasting triglyceride level (r = -.55, P < .001) and HDL triglyceride concentration (r = -.34, P = .02). These results show that the postprandial increase in triglyceride levels in hypertriglyceridemic subjects is associated with increased production of small HDL particles when lipolysis is stimulated, and that lipid-lowering therapy can contribute to favorably reduce this postprandial production of small HDL particles. Further studies are needed to clarify how these abnormalities ultimately lead to a decrease of plasma HDL cholesterol and apo A-1 in hypertriglyceridemic states. 相似文献

A major proportion of triglycerides in plasma triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) are removed in peripheral tissues by lipoprotein lipase, and hypothetically a minor proportion can also be removed by whole-lipoprotein particle uptake. This second removal pathway has not previously been directly demonstrated in humans. Simultaneous blood samples were drawn from arterialized blood, a vein draining the subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue, and a deep antecubital vein of the forearm to provide arterio-venous gradients from blood-draining adipose tissue and muscle in seven male subjects. The men were given a fat-rich mixed meal containing vitamin A and the triglyceride and retinyl palmitate (RP) concentrations were quantified in the plasma. Density gradient ultracentrifugation was used to isolate TRL fractions, in which triglycerides, RP, apoB-48, and apoB-100 were quantified. There was clearance of triglycerides in muscle and adipose tissue and, in addition, removal of RP. By analysis of the TRL subfractions, the RP removal was likely to be confined to the largest chylomicron remnant particles. For the Sf > 400 fraction, the area under curve (AUC) relative to arterial for triglycerides were 79% (66-91%) and 81% (72-89%) in adipose tissue and muscle venous outflow, respectively (each P < 0.02 versus arterial). The corresponding values for RP were 87% (73-101%) and 85% (69-100%), respectively, (each P < 0.05 versus arterial). In the Sf 60-400 fraction there was further uptake of triglycerides, but not of RP. We hypothesize that the periphery could be of importance for removal of the largest chylomicron remnants, as their size might partially exclude them penetrating the fenestrated hepatic sinusoidal endothelium to reach the hepatic chylomicron remnant receptors. 相似文献

There is little information comparing the effects of a high-monounsaturated (Mono)-fat versus a high-carbohydrate (CHO) diet in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, the effects of these diets on a number of metabolic parameters were compared. Seventeen normolipidemic, nonobese patients with type 1 diabetes were provided with the diets for 4 weeks each in a randomized, crossover design. The percentages of Mono fat of the two diets were 25 Mono versus 9 CHO, with a corresponding total fat content of 40% versus 24% and a total CHO content of 45% versus 61%. At the end of each dietary period, parameters of glycemic control, coagulation factors, and fasting and postprandial lipoproteins were assessed. There were no differences in weight, glycemia, insulin dose, fasting lipid profile, or coagulation factors between the two diets. However, the metabolism of postprandial lipoproteins after a fat load differed; viz, after the Mono diet compared with the CHO diet, mean plasma triglyceride levels over 10 hours were higher (P=.0025, by repeated-measures ANOVA). The levels of triglyceride (P=.0045) and retinyl esters (P=.0046) in chylomicrons (Sf>400) and chylomicron remnants (Sf 100 to 400) (P=.0047 and P=.043, respectively), and the total particle number (apolipoprotein B levels) in chylomicron remnants (P=.001) and small, very low density lipoprotein (Sf 20 to 100, P=.016) were also higher. Our data suggest that in patients with type 1 diabetes, a CHO diet might be preferable to a Mono diet, since adherence to the former results in a lower number of circulating postprandial lipoprotein particles that are potentially atherogenic. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Fluctuations in lipid and lipoprotein levels are encountered quite often in hyperlipidemic patients. We examined the possibility that lipid and lipoprotein levels fluctuate due to the different effects of estrogen and progestogen in postmenopausal hyperlipidemic women receiving combined hormonal replacement therapy. METHODS: In an open-label study conducted during 3 consecutive hormonal cycles (3 months), levels of fasting total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low (LDLC)- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) were determined in 36 postmenopausal hyperlipidemic women on day 13 of conjugated equine estrogen (1.25 mg/d) therapy and on day 25 after 12 days of receiving estrogen plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (5 mg/d). RESULTS: While receiving estrogen and combined therapies, means +/- SD total cholesterol levels increased from 6.50 +/- 0.97 mmol/L (251 +/- 37 mg/dL) to 6.88 +/- 1.42 mmol/L (266 +/- 54 mg/dL) (P<.001); LDLC levels, from 4.05 +/- 1.14 mmol/L (156 +/- 44 mg/dL) to 4.62 +/- 1.36 mmol/L (178 +/- 52 mg/dL) (P<.001). Mean +/- SD HDLC cholesterol levels decreased from 1.44 +/- 0.32 mmol/L (55 +/- 12 mg/dL) to 1.29 +/- 0.28 mmol/L (50 +/- 10 mg/dL) (P<.001); triglyceride levels, from 2.23 +/- 1.03 mmol/L (197 +/- 91 mg/dL) to 2.06 +/- 1.04 mmol/L (182 +/- 92 mg/dL) (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS: Hyperlipidemic postmenopausal women receiving combined sequential estrogen and progestogen replacement therapy demonstrate very significant fluctuations in their lipid and lipoprotein levels. These fluctuations depend on the hormonal phase, ie, estrogen alone or combined with progestogen. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Oral fat tolerance tests (FTTs) have been widely used as a tool to investigate post-prandial lipaemia. However, there is no consensus regarding the type and amount of fat used in the tests. METHODS: We compared three commonly used FTTs, each containing 63 g of fat: a mixed meal, a liquid cream meal and a liquid soybean oil meal. The study group consisted of 10 healthy normolipidaemic men. We measured triglycerides (TGs), retinyl esters (REs), apolipoprotein E (apoE), apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) and apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) in plasma and in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) fractions separated by density-gradient ultracentrifugation at baseline and 3, 4, 6, and 8 h after the FTTs. RESULTS: We observed similar TGs, apoE, apoB-48 and apoB-100 responses after all three FTTs, despite the different fatty acid composition of the meals. In contrast, the commonly used marker for exogenous particles, RE, differed clearly when polyunsaturated (soybean oil) and saturated fat (cream or mixed meal) were used. The RE response in plasma (P < 0.005, repeated measures ANOVA), in chylomicrons (P < 0.013) and in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) 1 (P < 0.017), as well as the RE area under the incremental curve in plasma and chylomicron fractions, were markedly increased after the soybean oil meal compared with the mixed meal and cream meal tests. The peak of RE response occurred parallel to the responses of other markers (i.e. TG or apoB-48) of post-prandial TRL during soybean oil meal. In contrast, RE peak concentration was delayed after saturated fat-containing meals. After soybean oil, FTT plasma cholesterol concentration was lower and the chylomicron cholesterol concentration was higher compared with mixed or cream meals, but no differences were detected in post-prandial high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol concentration. CONCLUSION: When the amount of fat is similar, post-prandial responses of TG, apoE, apoB-48, apoB-100 and HDL-cholesterol were comparable after different FTTs. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Although often associated with insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, various lipoprotein abnormalities have been found in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but not invariably so when the degree of obesity is taken into account. We have therefore investigated the serum lipid profile in a group of women with polycystic ovary syndrome with and without obesity. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of serum lipoprotein lipids and plasma free fatty acids in relation to anthropometric, metabolic and hormonal variables in women with PCOS and weight-matched controls. PATIENTS: Twenty-four obese (Pob, mean BMI +/- SD 30.6 +/- 3.3 kg/m2) and 25 non-obese (Pnob, 22.2 +/- 2.3 kg/m2) women with PCOS. Twenty obese (Cob, 30.2 +/- 3.5 kg/m2) and 20 non-obese (Cnob, 21.4 +/- 1.5 kg/m2) controls. MEASUREMENTS: Fasting concentrations of plasma free fatty acids, serum cholesterol and triglycerides in high density lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) in relation to insulin sensitivity index (M/I; assessed with the euglycaemic insulin clamp), glucose tolerance (k-value; intravenous glucose tolerance test), basal serum hormone concentrations, and body fat distribution (skinfolds and waist hip ratio). RESULTS: Plasma concentrations of free fatty acids were markedly higher in Pob than in the other groups (all P < 0.001). The lipoprotein lipids did not differ between Pob and Cob, or between the non-obese groups, whereas both obese groups had higher serum concentrations of triglycerides, totally and in VLDL, and lower HDL-cholesterol than their non-obese counterparts. Pob also had higher serum levels of total and LDL-cholesterol than Pnob. Pob had a more pronounced subcutaneous truncal-abdominal adiposity, higher fasting insulin levels and lower M/I than the other groups, and a lower k-value than Cob. Cob had higher levels of fasting insulin than Cnob. Free fatty acid levels correlated with the k-value (inversely) in both women with PCOS and controls, and with M/I (inversely), age and testosterone levels in PCOS. Stepwise regression analysis for the total population, comparing endocrine, anthropometric and metabolic explanatory variables, showed that the serum levels of HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were mainly correlated with body fat distribution (both) and fasting insulin levels (triglycerides), and levels of total and LDL-cholesterol with BMI and age. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma free fatty acid correlations were markedly increased in obese women with PCOS, closely associated with the lower insulin sensitivity and lower glucose tolerance in these women. In spite of these profound metabolic aberrations, the lipoprotein lipid profile was not significantly more abnormal in obese women with PCOS than in their weight-matched controls. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The association of serum lipids with coronary heart disease has been studied extensively in middle-aged men and, to a lesser extent, in similar women. Less well defined are lipid variables predictive of CHD in individuals of age > or = 60 years. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program recruited 4736 persons (mean age, 72 years; 14% were black; and 43% were men). Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 170 and 77 mm Hg, respectively. Baseline mean total cholesterol was 6.11 mmol/L (236 mg/dL); HDL cholesterol, 1.39 mmol/L (54 mg/dL); and non-HDL cholesterol, 4.72 mmol/L (182 mg/dL). Triglyceride levels were 1.62 mmol/L (144 mg/dL) for fasting participants and 1.78 mmol/L for the total group. LDL cholesterol, estimated in fasting samples with triglycerides of < 4.52 mmol/L, averaged 3.98 mmol/L (154 mg/dL). Mean follow-up was 4.5 years. In multivariate Cox regression analyses, baseline total, non-HDL, and LDL cholesterol levels and the ratios of total, non-HDL, and LDL to HDL cholesterol were significantly related to CHD incidence. HDL cholesterol and triglycerides were not significant in these analyses. In fasting participants with triglyceride levels of < 4.52 mmol/L, a 1.03 mmol/L (40 mg/dL) higher baseline total, non-HDL, or LDL cholesterol was associated with a 30% to 35% higher CHD event rate. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study support the concept that serum lipids are CHD risk factors in older Americans. 相似文献

Previous reports agree that estrogen and estrogen-containing contraceptives increase serum triglyceride levels of normal women, but disagree on their effect on serum cholesterol levels. Since obesity is often accompanied by hyperinsulinemia and since hyperinsulinemia may participate in production of hypertriglyceridemia, we investigated the effect of oral contraceptives on the serum lipids of obese women. Serum triglycerides and cholesterol were measured before and after 3 months administration of the contraceptives. The mean triglyceride level increased 23% in the obese and 21% in the normal women. The mean cholesterol level increased 6% (P less than 0.05) in the obese and did not change in the normal women. The increase in cholesterol occurred mostly in those with initial levels less than 225 mg/100 ml; in those with initial levels above 250 mg/100 ml the level usually decreased with treatment. The serum lipid changes were not related to the serum insulin levels. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the level of serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in nonobese and obese NIDDM subjects with android body distribution. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Serum Lp(a) levels were measured in 30 long-standing NIDDM patients (duration of diabetes 12.5 +/- 3 years, mean +/- SD), with 15 of the patients being obese of android distribution (BMI > 30 kg/m2 and waist-to-hip ratio > 0.8). In addition, there were 15 android obese nondiabetic subjects and 10 healthy subjects serving as the control group. RESULTS: All groups of patients in this study (diabetic, obese, and obese diabetic) showed significantly higher levels of Lp(a) than the healthy control group. Lp(a) concentrations were significantly higher in NIDDM patients with android type of obesity than in nondiabetic androids (24.1 +/- 5.6 vs. 14.8 +/- 2.4 mg/dl, P < 0.001). Significantly greater levels of Lp(a) were found in nonobese subjects with diabetes when compared with obese subjects without diabetes (22.3 +/- 4.1 vs. 14.8 +/- 2.4 mg/dl, P < 0.001). Furthermore, Lp(a) serum concentrations were not dependent on the degree of glycemic control (controlled NIDDM 23.6 +/- 5.0 vs. uncontrolled NIDDM 21.4 +/- 2.7 mg/dl, NS), but were much greater in subjects with diabetes complicated by vascular disease (complicated 26.3 +/- 5.0 vs. uncomplicated 20.5 +/- 2.7 mg/dl, P < 0.001). No correlation was found between Lp(a) and other lipid parameters in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Lp(a) levels are significantly elevated in both android-obese and nonobese NIDDM patients regardless of the degree of glycemic control. Lp(a) is an independent risk factor showing greater elevations in those subjects complicated with diabetic vascular diseases. 相似文献

Familial combined hyperlipoproteinemia (FCH) is a common familial lipoprotein disorder characterized by elevated plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels with segregation in first-degree relatives. Most affected subjects with FCH have elevated plasma levels of apolipoprotein (apo) B. The disorder results from oversecretion of hepatic apoB-containing lipoprotein particles. The genetic defect(s) are unknown. Previous work has suggested that genetic polymorphisms of the apoA-I gene and functional abnormalities of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene are associated with FCH. We investigated the XmnI and SstI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of the apoA-I gene in FCH subjects of French Canadian descent. We also investigated three common functional mutations of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene (LPLGly188Glu, LPLPro207Leu, and LPLAsp250Asn) in French Canadians that account for approximately 97% of cases of complete LPL deficiency in the province of Québec, Canada. We identified and characterized 54 FCH probands in lipid clinics and examined at least one first-degree relative. There were 37 men and 17 women (mean age 48 +/- 9 and 58 +/- 8 years, respectively). None of the probands had diabetes mellitus; mean plasma glucose was 5.5 mmol/L. High blood pressure was diagnosed in 32% of men and 29% of women. The body mass index (weight (kg)/height(m2)) was elevated in probands (27 +/- 4 for men and 26 +/- 4 for women). Mean plasma levels of cholesterol (C) was 7.6 +/- 1.5 mmol/L, triglycerides 3.5 +/- 1.6 mmol/L, LDL-C 4.9 +/- 1.2 mmol/L, HDL-C 1.0 +/- 0.3 mmol/L, and apoB 1.83 +/- 0.67 g/L in the probands. Allele frequency of the rare alleles of the XmnI and SstI RFLP was not significantly different from a healthy reference group. In several families studied, the XmnI and SstI RFLP did not unequivocally segregate with the FCH phenotype. There was no significant effect of the presence or absence of the XmnI or SstI RFLP's on plasma lipids, lipoprotein cholesterol or apoB levels. Only one FCH proband was found to have a mutation of the LPL gene (Gly188Glu), and this did not segregate with the FCH phenotype in the family. We conclude that in our highly selected group of FCH subjects of French Canadian descent, the XmnI and SstI RFLPs of the apoA-I gene and common functional mutations of the LPL gene resulting in complete LPL deficiency are not associated with FCH. 相似文献

The association between hyperinsulinemia and atherogenic risk factors has not been well studied in blacks and may be different for obese versus lean individuals. To investigate this possibility and to confirm the associations of hyperinsulinemia with cardiovascular disease risk factors in blacks and whites, we analyzed the joint associations of fasting serum insulin and obesity with risk factors in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (1,293 black men, 4,797 white men, 2,033 black women, and 5,445 white women). Insulin values > or = 90th percentile (> or = 21 microU/mL) constituted hyperinsulinemia; body mass index (BMI) values > or = 27.3 kg/m2 for women and > or = 27.8 for men constituted obesity. Participants with hyperinsulinemia in all four race-sex groups had more atherogenic levels of most risk factors studied than those with normoinsulinemia. Among black men and women, mean levels of triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein (apo) B, glucose, and fibrinogen (men only) were higher in hyperinsulinemic lean participants as compared with the normoinsulinemic obese group. Furthermore, most associations between insulin level and risk factors were stronger among lean versus obese subjects. For example, among lean black men, the difference in mean triglyceride concentration between those with hyperinsulinemia and those with normoinsulinemia was 147 - 99 = 48 mg/dL; among obese black men, the difference was 155 - 121 = 34 mg/dL (P < .05 for the interaction). Generally, similar negative interactions between BMI and insulin concentration were also observed among whites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Hyperuricaemia and hyperlipidaemia (elevated fasting plasma cholesterol or triglycerides) were frequently found in 219 males and 63 females with peripheral vascular disease (PVD). The subjects were divided into sexes and the uric acid, cholesterol and triglyceride concentration adjusted for the effects of age and obesity by multiple regression analysis. Followig this no significant relationship was found between uric acid and cholesterol or triglyceride. When the males with PVD were divided into lipoprotein types it was found that those who were normo-lipoproteinaemics or who had type IV hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP) had a significantly higher mean uric acid level. The other types had a mean uric acid concentration similar to that found in 25 healthy normolipoproteinaemic males. The discrepancy between this result and the lack of correlation between uric acid and triglyceride noted above is presumably due to the complex effects of age and obesity. In the females no significant increase in the mean uric acid concentration was found in any of the lipoprotein groups. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that subjects who clear chylomicron remnants slowly from plasma may be at higher risk of coronary artery disease than indicated by their fasting plasma lipid concentrations. DESIGN: Case control study over three years. SETTING: An 800 bed general municipal hospital. SUBJECTS: 85 normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease selected prospectively and matched with 85 normolipidaemic subjects with normal coronary arteries on angiography. INTERVENTIONS: All subjects were given a vitamin A fat loading test which specifically labels intestinal lipoproteins with retinyl palmitate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Postprandial lipoprotein metabolism. RESULTS: The area below the chylomicron remnant retinyl palmitate curve was significantly increased in the coronary artery disease group as compared with the controls (mean 23.4 (SD 15.0) v 15.3 (8.9) mumol/l.h; 95% confidence interval of difference 4.37 to 11.82). CONCLUSION: Normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease had significantly higher concentrations of chylomicron remnants in plasma than normolipidaemic subjects with normal coronary vessels. This may explain the mechanism underlying the susceptibility to atherosclerosis of coronary artery disease patients with normal fasting lipid values. As diet and drugs can ameliorate the accumulation of postprandial lipoproteins in plasma, the concentration of chylomicron remnants should be measured in patients at high risk of coronary artery disease. 相似文献

The morbidly obese have a disproportionately greater risk of hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease than their lean or less seriously obese counterparts. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery has been found to be highly effective in inducing, and sustaining, weight loss in individuals with morbid obesity. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of weight loss with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (GBP) on blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and the lipid/lipoprotein status of 61 morbidly obese women and 21 men. Anthropometric and blood pressure assessments and blood samples for glucose and lipid/lipoprotein analyses were obtained before surgery and at 6 to 12 months postoperatively. By this time, morbidly obese (MO) males and females had lost 33% and 30% of their initial body weight, respectively, along with significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (p < 0.01) and systemic blood pressure (p < 0.05). Weight loss with GBP was also associated with significant reductions in the apoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and the triglyceride and cholesterol composition of these particles. There was a trend (p < 0.10) toward increased serum levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol following GBP, and significant (p < 0.05) improvement in HDL subfraction distribution and composition. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of GBP in inducing metabolic changes in the MO population, which may reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension. 相似文献

AIM: To access the current lipid management of late survivors of acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: A systematic follow-up of all survivors who had previously been screened for enrolment into one of three randomised clinical trials in Auckland was undertaken from December 1995 to January 1997. All contacted survivors were asked to answer a questionnaire regarding their current therapy and were invited to undergo venepuncture for a lipid assay. RESULTS: Of the 1036 patients with acute myocardial infarction screened for enrolment in the three trials there were 984 (95%) who survived 30 days. At a median of 5.5 years (interquartile range 3.2-8.5) follow-up, 641 (86%) survivors agreed to have a fasting lipid test. The mean total cholesterol level was 5.7 +/- 1.1 mmol/L high density lipoprotein cholesterol 1.1 +/- 0.3 mmol/L, low density lipoprotein cholesterol 3.8 +/- 0.9 mmol/L and triglyceride level 1.9 +/- 1.1 mmol/L. Two hundred and seven (32%) patients were treated with a lipid-modifying agent. Four hundred and forty-five (69%) patients had a cholesterol level > or = 5.2 mmol/L 381 (59%) patients had a level > or = 5.5 mmol/L and 72 (11%) patients had a level > or = 7.0 mmol/L of whom 62 patients were not being treated with a lipid-modifying agent. For the 107 patients with coronary artery bypass grafts, the mean cholesterol level was 5.4 mmol/L and the mean low density lipoprotein cholesterol level was 3.7 +/- 0.9 mmol/L, with 57 (53%) patients not being treated with a "statin" or "fibrate". CONCLUSION: Lipid management is suboptimal in this high risk population of patients post-infarction and greater efforts need to be made to achieve better control. Diet is frequently inadequate in these patients at high risk and statin therapy is indicated. 相似文献

Intraindividual variability of serum lipid concentrations in normal volunteers and in patients with hyperlipidemia is substantial. The aim of this study was to investigate prospectively the reproducibility of fasting serum triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations in primary health care patients with combined hyperlipidemia, i.e. under conditions of daily medical practice. Secondary forms of hyperlipidemia were excluded. 19 general medical outpatients with primary combined hyperlipidemia were studied. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were measured after an overnight fast at 08.00 h 4 times at weekly intervals. To study the influence of alcohol intake on serum lipid concentrations, total cholesterol and triglycerides were measured without alcohol influence and 12 hours after consumption of a mean of 100 g alcohol in the evening. In 19 patients (10 males, 9 females, mean age 55 years, body mass index 27.9 +/- 4.4 kg/m2), mean +/- SD of serum triglycerides was 3.97 +/- 1.8 mmol/l and of total cholesterol 7.9 +/- 1.8 mmol/l. The combined intraindividual and interassay coefficient of variation was 18.7 +/- 8.2% for triglycerides and 5.1 +/- 2.5% for total cholesterol. Fasting serum triglycerides (3.5 +/- 1.1 vs. 3.7 +/- 1.4 mmol/l) and total cholesterol (7.6 +/- 1.4 vs. 7.8 +/- 1.0 mmol/l) did not significantly change 12 hours after acute alcohol consumption. Patients with primary combined hyperlipidemia in a primary health care setting show small intraindividual variations of overnight fasted serum triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations. Moderate alcohol consumption 12 hours before blood sampling does not significantly affect triglyceride and cholesterol values. 相似文献
