OBJECTIVE: Heredity plays an important role in the predisposition to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD), and its thrombotic complications. Paraoxonase, a high-density lipoprotein-associated enzyme capable of hydrolyzing lipid peroxides, is presumed to contribute to atherosclerosis and CAD. This study investigates the role of human paraoxonase 1 (PON 1) gene (Q192R) polymorphism in CAD risk among Chinese type 2 diabetic cases. DESIGN: A population-based case-control study of paraoxonase 1 gene (Q192R) polymorphism and the risk of CAD in Chinese type 2 diabetics. METHODS: Subjects included 201 angiographically documented CAD patients with type 2 diabetes and 231 control subjects with type 2 diabetes alone living in central China. Single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was used to screen for PON 1 gene (Q192R) polymorphism. RESULTS: Frequency of the R allele was 21.5% in the CAD patients and 12.0% in the control subjects. The presence of the R allele was significantly associated with risk of CAD (odds ratio (OR)=1.97; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.36--2.86). CONCLUSION: Frequency of the 192R allele of the human paraoxonase 1 gene may be an independent risk factor for CAD in the Chinese type 2 diabetics studied.

Adiponectin is an adipocytokine that has a higher serum level in healthy people. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, MI, and dyslipidemia, the serum level of adiponectin is lower than 4 µg/mL. Adiponectin is proved to have a protective role against atherosclerotic changes where its low serum levels in type 2 diabetes can lead to the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. In this study, we aimed to survey the possible effects of adiponectin in the development of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics. Thirty diabetic cases with coronary artery disease, 30 diabetic cases without known coronary artery disease, and a group of 30 healthy volunteers, all of them were between 18-65-year-old, were entered ourstudy. We gathered demographic data by performing a physical examination followed by filling a checklist and a set of laboratory tests. All the groups were sex and age-matched (P=0.284 and P=0.163 respectively). CAD group had the lowest HBA1C (P<0.001). Both LDL and HDL were also lower in the CAD group (P<0.001). Adiponectin was also lower in the CAD group when compared to other groups (P<0.008) or when compared with only normal diabetics (P<0.002). We found a correlation between adiponectin and HDL (r=0.348, P=0.008), suggesting each unit of reduction in serum level of adiponectin could increase the chance of coronary artery disease by 38% in diabetics. In this study, we showed that the lower serum level of adiponectin is correlated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics.
