Lipid Spectrum

The aim: Research of blood lipid spectrum, level of anti-inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein of coronary heart disease patients. Materials and methods: There was examined 61 patients with unstable angina, who had been on hospital care in the cardiology department of the Lviv National Emergency Hospital. Their average age was 68.3 ± 1.9 years. The control group included 20 generally healthy persons. There was estimated blood lipid spectrum, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen and proinflammatory cytokine of patients. Results: There was determined considerable increase total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and coefficient of atherogenicity. High level of C-reactive protein and pro-inflammatory cytokines were detected in patients with unstable angina. Conclusions: In patients with unstable angina was revealed a significant increase of proinflammatory cytokines levels in the blood serum: interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-17, TNF-α and C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, which indicates activation of the inflammatory process. In patients with unstable angina was detected a significant disorder of blood lipid spectrum. For its correction should be recommended diet and hypolipidemic agents.

Abstract Aims In epidemiologic cohorts initiated >30 years ago, inflammatory biomarkers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were shown to independently predict future cardiovascular events with a magnitude of effect comparable to that of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC). Whether aggressive contemporary therapy for atherosclerosis has altered these relationships is unknown yet has major implications for future drug development. Methods and results Interleukin-6, hsCRP, and LDLC were measured at baseline in up to 4168 North American patients enrolled in the contemporary Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial with prior myocardial infarction or multivessel coronary disease who additionally had diabetes or metabolic syndrome and were followed for a period of up to 5 years for incident major recurrent cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Three-quarters of the cohort were previously revascularized and the great majority was taking statins, angiotensin blocking agents, beta-blockers, and antithrombotic agents. Participants were randomly allocated to low-dose methotrexate 15 mg weekly or to placebo. Randomized use of methotrexate had no effect on event rates nor plasma levels of IL-6, hsCRP, or LDL over time. Yet, baseline levels of IL-6, hsCRP, and LDLC were all predictors of major recurrent cardiovascular events; adjusted hazard ratios [HR; 95% confidence interval (CI)] for the lowest to highest baseline quartiles of IL-6 were 1.0 (referent), 1.66 (1.18–2.35), 1.92 (1.36–2.70), and 2.11 (1.49–2.99; P < 0.0001), while adjusted HRs for increasing quartiles of hsCRP were 1.0 (referent), 1.28 (0.92–1.79), 1.73 (1.25–2.38), and 1.79 (1.28–2.50; P < 0.0001) and adjusted HRs for increasing quartiles of LDLC were 1.0 (referent), 1.12 (0.78–1.62), 1.25 (0.87–1.79), and 2.38 (1.72–3.30; P < 0.0001). Effect estimates were not statistically different in these analyses for comparisons between IL-6, hsCRP, or LDLC, although IL-6 was the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality. The highest absolute risks were observed among those with elevated levels of both cholesterol and inflammation [HR 6.4 (95% CI 2.9–14.1) for those in the top quartiles of baseline IL-6 and LDLC, HR 4.9 (95% CI 2.6–9.4) for those in the top quartiles of baseline hsCRP and LDLC, both P < 0.0001]. Conclusion Despite aggressive contemporary secondary prevention efforts, the relationships between inflammation, cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk are largely unchanged from those described two decades ago. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that future treatments for atherosclerosis may require a combination of inflammation inhibition and additional cholesterol reduction.

C-reactive protein (CRP), the classical acute-phase protein, can bind phospholipids by virtue of its specific, calcium-dependent reactivity with phosphorylcholine residues. However, analysis of acute-phase serum by gel filtration and by density gradient ultracentrifugation showed that the CRP was in a free, uncomplexed form, despite the coexistent presence of the various classes of serum lipoproteins, all of which contain phospholipids. In contrast, when isolated CRP was aggregated by immobilization at a sufficient density on a solid phase and then exposed to normal human serum, it selectively bound low density lipoprotein (LDL) and traces of very low density lipoprotein. The reaction was calcium dependent and reversible by free phosphorylcholine but not by heparin. LDL isolated from normal plasma was also bound by aggregated CRP. CRP reacts in vitro with a wide variety of different ligands both of extrinsic and of autogenous origin, e.g., microbial products and damaged cell membranes, respectively. If CRP aggregated in vivo by complexing with these ligands than acquires the capacity to selectively bind LDL, the phenomenon may have significant implications for the function of CRP and for the metabolism, clearance, and deposition of LDL.

Background/Aim. C-reactive protein is an independent predictor of the risk of cardiovascular events and diabetes mellitus in apparently healthy men. The relationship between C-reactive protein and the features of metabolic syndrome has not been fully elucidated. To assess the cross-sectional relationship between C-reactive protein and the features of metabolic syndrome in healthy people. Methods. We studied 161 military pilots (agee, 40?6 years) free of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and active inflammation on their regular annual medical control. Age, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, smoking habit, waist circumference and body mass index were evaluated. Plasma C-reactive protein was measured by the immunonephelometry (Dade Behring) method. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel. Results. The mean C-reactive protein concentrations in the subjects grouped according to the presence of 0, 1, 2 and 3 or more features of the metabolic syndrome were 1.11, 1.89, 1.72 and 2.22 mg/L, respectively (p = 0.023) with a statistically, significant difference between those with 3, and without metabolic syndrome (p = 0.01). In the simple regression analyses C-reactive protein did not correlate with the total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index and blood pressure (p > 0.05). In the multiple regression analysis, waist circumference (? = 0.411, p = 0.000), triglycerides to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (? = 0.774, p = 0.000), smoking habit (? = 0.236, p = 0.003) and triglycerides (? = 0.471, p = 0.027) were independent predictors of C-reactive protein. Conclusions. Our results suggested a cross-sectional independent correlation between the examined cardiovascular risk factors as the predominant features of metabolic syndrome and C-reactive protein in the group of apparently healthy subjects. The lack of correlation of C-reactive protein with the total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in our study may suggest their different role in the process of atherosclerosis and the possibility to determine C-reactive protein in order to identify high-risk subjects not identified with cholesterol screening.

<p><em>Obesitas terjadi karena akumulasi lemak berlebih di dalam tubuh. Akumulasi lemak menimbulkan low grade inflammation pada jaringan adiposa, menyebabkan peningkatan sitokin inflamasi seperti tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, dan interleukin-6 (IL-6). Peningkatan sekresi IL-6 merangsang hepar meningkatkan produksi protein fase akut. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) sebagai penanda inflamasi merupakan protein fase akut. Low density lipoprotein (LDL-kolesterol) adalah lipoprotein yang paling banyak mengandung kolesterol. Peningkatan kadar hs-CRP dan kadar LDL-kolesterol pada obesitas diidentifikasi sebagai faktor risiko aterosklerosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan hs-CRP dengan LDL-kolesterol pada penyandang obes, merupakan penelitian analitik rancangan potong lintang dilakukan  September 2018 sampai Agustus 2019. Kadar hs-CRP diperiksa dengan metode enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA), sedangkan kadar LDL-kolesterol dengan metode kalkulasi (rumus Friedewald). Uji korelasi Spearman digunakan untuk menganalisi data, jika didapatkan nilai p&lt;0,05 korelasi dinyatakan bermakna. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 26 penyandang obes terdiri dari 6 laki-laki (23,1%) dan 20 perempuan (76,9%). Rerata umur subjek penelitian adalah 36,46(7,68) tahun. Rerata kadar hs-CRP dan kadar LDL-kolesterol adalah 5,08(1,28) mg/L dan  154,69(45,8) mg/dL. Analisis korelasi menunjukkan korelasi positif lemah dan tidak bermakna secara statistik antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar LDL-kolesterol (r= 0,333, p=0,096). Simpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif lemah antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar LDL-kolesterol pada penyandang obes.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em>: </em><em>Obesitas, High Sensitivity C-Reactive, Low Density Lipoprotein</em><em></em></p>
