AbstractBackground:The objective of the study was to assess the effect of atorvastatin on inflammation markers and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions.Methods:In a prospective, randomized, double-blind pilot study involving 28 adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase AResults:For the atorvastatin group, we found posttreatment reductions of Lp-PLA2 activity (p<0.001), LDL cholesterol (p=0.001), non-small dense LDL cholesterol (p<0.001), total cholesterol (p<0.001), and apolipoprotein B (apo B) (p<0.001), whereas small dense LDL cholesterol and hsCRP did not change significantly.Conclusions:In adolescents with T1D, long-term treatment with atorvastatin is safe and may reduce cardiovascular risk by significant decreases of Lp-PLA2 activity and LDL cholesterol.

Abstract Objective There is an increased level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM). In addition, the Vitamin D level in T1DM patients is usually below the normal reference range. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between Vitamin D levels and LDL-C in Chinese children with T1DM. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Endocrine inpatient wards of Tianjin Children’s Hospital, 143 children with T1DM were included. The related clinical and laboratory examinations, including anthropometric parameters, lipid profiles, and Vitamin D levels, were collected in all subjects. Results The univariate analysis results did not show a significant correlation between Vitamin D levels and LDL-C (P=0.634). Furthermore, a nonlinear relationship was observed between Vitamin D levels and LDL-C by smooth curve fitting after adjusting for potential confounders. A multivariate piecewise linear regression model revealed a significant negative association between LDL-C and Vitamin D levels when LDL-C was greater than 3.1 mmol/L(β -2.9, 95% CI -5.4,-0.5; P=0.022). However, we did not observe a significant relationship between LDL-C and Vitamin D levels when LDL-C was lower than 3.1 mmol/L(β 2.4, 95% CI -0.2,5.1; P=0.076).Conclusions This study identified a nonlinear relationship between Vitamin D levels and LDL-C independent of other potential confounding factors, suggesting that the deficiency or insufficiency of Vitamin D in T1DM children with high LDL-C levels should be considered, especially LDL-C is higher than 3.1 mmol/L, which provides evidence of the timing about Vitamin D supplementation in T1DM children.

Abstract Blood glucose level could be measured before 2-3 months using glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). In diabetes mellitus (DM) the size of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-K) often changes to a small size, called small dense LDL-K sdLDL) which is atherogenic and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level. High HbA1c indicates uncontrolled glucose levels and often cause complications of coronary heart disease (CHD). This is a further investigation from the previous one about ”The Relationship between HbA1c with LDL and Apo B in DM patients with cardiac complications." This study used analytical, cross-sectional design. Thirty patients DM with CHD complications were examined for HbA1C levels via the Exchange-HPLC ion methods, HDL-K and LDL-K by enzymatic colourimetric methods and apo B by the immunoturbidimetry methods. The relationship between variables was analyzed by the Pearson correlation test.The mean level of HbA1c was 8.72%, male HDL was 35.67 mg / dl, female was 39.57 mg / dl, LDL-K was 110.64 mg / dl, apo B was 111.88 mg / dl and sd-LDL was 1, 02. A strong negative relationship between HbA1c and HDL levels for both men and women with r = - 0.647; r = - 0.675 with significance level p = 0.017; p = 0.008. Whereas HbA1c with sd-LDL has a weak negative relationship, but not significant (r = -0.352; p = 0.057). Hence, lipid profile measurement can be considered to monitor risk of cardiovacular diseases, particularly in those with abnormal blood glucose metabolism. AbstrakPemantauan kadar gula 2-3 bulan sebelumnya dapat diukur menggunakan glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Pada diabetes melitus (DM) ukuran low density lipoprotein (LDL-K) sering berubah menjadi kecil, yang dinamakan small dence LDL-K (sd-LDL) yang bersifat aterogenik, dan kadar high density lipoprotein (HDL) sering rendah. HbA1c yang tinggi menandakan kadar glukosa tidak terkontrol dan sering menyebabkan salah satu komplikasi ke penyakit jantung koroner (PJK). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lanjutan dari penelitian berjudul “ Hubungan HbA1c dengan trigliserida dan Apo B pada penderita DM dengan komplikasi penyakit jantung” Studi ini menggunakan desain analitik potong lintang. Tiga puluh pasien DM dengan komplikasi PJK diperiksa kadar HbA1c melalui metoda ion-Exchange HPLC, HDL-K dan LDL-K dengan metoda kolometrik enzimatik dan apo B dengan metoda imunoturbidimetri. Hubungan antar variabel dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Pearson.Hasil penelitian didapatkan laki laki 16 dan perempuan 14 pasien. Kadar rerata HbA1c 8,72%, HDL laki laki 35,67 mg/dl, perempuan 39,57 mg/dl, LDL-K 110,64 mg/dl, apo B 111,88 mg/dl dan sd-LDL 1,02. Hubungan negatif kuat antara kadar HbA1c dan HDL baik laki laki maupun perempuan dengan r = - 0,647 ; r = - 0,675 dengan tingkat kemaknaan p = 0,017; p = 0,008. Sedangkan HbA1c dengan sd-LDL terdapat hubungan negatif lemah, tetapi tidak bermakna (r=-0,352 ; p = 0,057). Karena itu, pemeriksaan profil lipid dapat dipertimbangkan untuk memantau risiko penyakit kardiovaskular khususnya bagi mereka dengan gangguan metabolisme gula darah

Abstract We analyzed the susceptibility of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) to oxidation in 17 healthy smokers (43.3 +/- 16.8 pack-years) and 19 healthy nonsmokers, matched for age (smokers: 52 +/- 7 years; nonsmokers: 53 +/- 7 years), gender, and relative body mass. Cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein (apo) B were not different between smokers and nonsmokers; apo A-I was slightly lower in smokers (one-tailed P = 0.066). To study whether LDL from smokers were prone to in vitro oxidation than LDL from nonsmokers, we measured the time kinetics of diene formation and the production of malondialdehyde during oxidation of LDL in vitro. In smokers and nonsmokers, respectively, the mean (+/-SD) lag times (tinh) of diene formation were 111 +/- 26 and 100 +/- 27 min, the peak rates of diene formation (Vmax) were 5.99 +/- 2.34 and 6.34 +/- 2.30 mmol x min-1 x g-1, and the amounts of dienes produced during the propagation phase (dmax) were 250 +/- 264 and 248 +/- 56 mmol x g-1. Neither the malondialdehyde content of LDL (measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) before oxidation nor the amount of malondialdehyde generated during oxidation (smokers: 57.0 +/- 14.2 micromol x g-1; nonsmokers: 63.2 +/- 15.2 micromol x g-1 indicated any statistically significant effect of smoking. When nonsmokers and smokers were considered together, the amount of malondialdehyde generated during oxidation correlated with age (nonparametric rs = 0.405), body mass index (r2 = 0.573), and concentrations of apo B (rs = 0.480), cholesterol (rs = 0.448), triglycerides (rs = 0.436), and LDL cholesterol (rs = 0.398). Our data show that smoking is not associated with increased oxidizability of LDL in healthy men and women at ages 42-63 years.

Introduction: Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is fundamentally related to disorders of lipid metabolism. Health problems like obesity, glucose intolerance and metabolic syndrome increase atherosclerotic CAD risk.  A fraction of Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) is called small dense low density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL). These particles are more atherogenic because they are taken up more easily by arterial wall, readily oxidized and not easily cleared from plasma. Every LDL particle contain an Apo B molecule.Methods: In this cross sectional study we recruited 100 known cases each of CAD, type 2 diabetes, overweight and 100 age and sex matched healthy controls. We took a detailed case summary along with anthropometric measurements. We measured sdLDL by heparin magnesium precipitation method followed by direct estimation of the LDL in the supernatant.Result: Linear regressive analysis showed positive correlation between sdLDL and Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) with LDL cholesterol (r=0.61, p=0.004), (r=0.754, p=0.0034) respectively. Multiple Comparisons after Kruskalwallis test of sdLDL and Apo B levels of  type 2 diabetes, CAD and overweight with controls were significant (p<0.001).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the estimation of sdLDL and Apo B provide a complimentary benefit in assessment of cases with CAD, type 2 diabetes and overweight.
