Introduction Apolipoprotein A1 are antiatherogenic in blood serum and have an anti-inflammatory while Apolipoprotein B describes a protein structure that is potentially atherogenic.. Meanwhile, the inflammatory process plays a role in the diabetic retinopathy process. The aim of this study was to determine whether there were differences in the levels of apolipoprotein A1 and B in diabetic retinopathy patients and without diabetic retinopathy. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. The subjects of this study were type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic retinopathy and without diabetic retinopathy at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital from July to September 2020. Subjects consisted of 32 patients in the group with diabetic retinopathy and 31 patients without diabetic retinopathy. The levels of apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B were analyzed using independent T test. The factors affecting apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B were analyzed using multiple regression tests. Result: There were no significant differences (p> 0.05) in age, gender, duration of diabetes, HDL, triglycerides, HbA1c, BMI, physical activity, and smoking history. The mean apolipoprotein A1 level in the diabetic retinopathy group was 1.46 ± 0.177 mg / dL higher than the non-diabetic retinopathy group, namely 1.44 ± 0.27 mg / dL (p = 0.699). The mean level of apolipoprotein B in the diabetic retinopathy group was 1.26 ± 0.289 mg / dl higher than the non-diabetic retinopathy group 1.01 ± 0.26 mg / dL (p = 0.001). The mean LDL levels were 162.5 ± 48.38 mmol / L in the diabetic retinopathy group and 127 ± 38.45 mmol / L in the group without diabetic retinopathy (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Apolipoprotein B levels were found to be higher in the group with diabetic retinopathy than in the group without diabetic retinopathy and there was a significant difference between the two assumed due to an atherogenic  process in the diabetic retinopathy group. Further research is needed to assess the causal relationship between elevated levels of Apo B and the incidence of diabetic retinopathy by calculating the ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1.

Background: We determined relationships of cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), plasma cholesterol esterification (EST) and cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) with anti-c-terminus apoA-1 (Ac-terAA1) and anti-apolipoprotein (apo)-1 (AAA1) autoantibodies in subjects with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Methods: In 75 T2D subjects and 75 nondiabetic subjects, Ac-terAA1 and AAA1 plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CEC was measured as [3H]-cholesterol efflux from human cultured fibroblasts to diluted individual subject plasma. Plasma EST and CET were assayed by isotope methods. Results: Ac-terAA1 and AAA1 levels and were similar between T2D and control subjects. Univariate regression analysis (n = 150) demonstrated that Ac-terAA1 levels were inversely correlated with CEC, EST, CET, total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein B, (p < 0.05 to p < 0.01), but not with glucose and HbA1c. In separate multivariable linear regression models, CEC, EST and CET were inversely associated with Ac-terAA1 levels independently of age, sex, T2D and drug use (β = −0.186, p = 0.026; β = −0.261, p < 0.001; and β = −0.321, p < 0.001; respectively). These associations were lost after additional adjustment for non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. No associations were observed for AAA1. Conclusions: CEC, plasma EST and CET are inversely associated with Ac-terAA1 autoantibodies, conceivably attributable to an inverse relationship of these autoantibodies with apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins.

Background: Type 2 diabetic subjects often have hypertriglyceridemia and an increased concentration of apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) in circulation, particularly during the postprandial period. There is an accumulating body of evidence to suggest that apoB-48 plays a central role in the development of atherosclerosis. Statins are the frontline therapy to reduce cardiovascular risk, however, a large residual risk still remains. This residual risk suggests that additional therapeutic interventions may be required to further reduce CVD risk. Aim: To investigate the effect of niacin on the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) apoB-48 in men with type 2 diabetes on background statin therapy. Methods: Twelve type 2 diabetic men were recruited for this randomized, cross-over design study. Patients required a statin-treated low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol of less than 2.5 mmol/L to enter the trial. Patients were then randomized to rosuvastatin alone or rosuvastatin plus niacin (titrated up from 1 to 2 g daily) for a period of 12 weeks and then were crossed over to the alternate therapy with a 3 week washout period in between. Metabolic studies were performed at the end of each treatment period. A bolus intravenous infusion of D3-leucine was administered as subjects consumed a standardised high-fat liquid meal. Blood samples were collected over 24 hours and TRL apoB-48 tracer/tracee ratios were measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Kinetic parameters, including fractional catabolic rate (FCR) and production rate (PR), were derived using a multicompartmental model. Results: Niacin significantly reduced triglyceride, plasma cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and apoB (all p<0.005). TRL apoB-48 concentration was lower with niacin (8.24 ± 1.98 vs 5.48 ± 1.14 mg/L, p=0.03). ApoB-48 FCR was not altered with niacin (8.78 ± 1.04 vs 9.17 ± 1.26 pools/day; p=0.79). Basal apoB-48 PR (3.21 ± 0.34 vs 2.50 ± 0.31 mg/kg/day; p=0.04) and postprandial apoB-48 PR were significantly lower (1.35 ± 0.19 vs 0.84 ± 0.12 mg/kg; p=0.02) on niacin. Conclusion: Niacin reduces TRL apoB-48 concentration by lowering basal and postprandial apoB-48 PR. This effect on apoB-48 metabolism may be beneficial for reducing atherogenic postprandial TRL particles and may provide CVD risk benefit to patients with type 2 diabetes.
