A major gene effect on fasting insulin and insulin sensitivity in familial combined hyperlipidemia.

چکیده
The most common inherited dyslipidemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), is associated with insulin resistance. Whether insulin sensitivity in these families is inherited is not known. Therefore, we investigated the inheritance of insulin sensitivity in 352 nondiabetic family members from 37 families with FCHL, 105 of whom had undergone testing using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique for the measurement of insulin sensitivity. First, complex segregation analysis of fasting insulin levels (both unadjusted and age-, age(2)-, and BMI-adjusted) was used for modeling of the variance in fasting insulin levels. In these analyses, Mendelian codominant inheritance (P = 0.320 for unadjusted and P = 0.295 for adjusted insulin values) was not rejected over the most general model and fit the data significantly better than the sporadic model (P < 0.001). Polygenic and environmental models were rejected (P < 0.001). The Mendelian codominant model explained 44 and 45% of the variance in unadjusted and adjusted fasting insulin levels, respectively. The proposed genotypes of this locus, based on segregation analysis, were associated with directly measured insulin sensitivity in 105 FCHL family members who underwent the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (P < 0.001). These results provide evidence for a major gene regulating insulin sensitivity in FCHL families. Possible pleiotropic effects of this insulin sensitivity locus on dyslipidemias in FCHL remain to be elucidated.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin signaling and action are impaired in insulin sensitive tissues and results in hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our previous studies have shown that rosa damascena has antihyperglycemic effects on diabetic and normal rats. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of this medicinal plant on insulin sensiti...

متن کاملEffects of atorvastatin on fasting and postprandial complement component 3 response in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
VLDL overproduction by enhanced hepatic FFA flux is a major characteristic of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). The postprandial complement component 3 (C3) response has been associated with impaired postprandial FFA metabolism in FCHL. We investigated the effects of 16 weeks of treatment with atorvastatin on postprandial C3 and lipid changes in 12 FCHL patients. Atorvastatin significant...

To establish whether insulin resistance and/or postprandial fatty acid metabolism might contribute to familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) we have examined parameters of insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in six FCH kindreds. Probands and relatives (n = 56) were divided into three tertiles on the basis of fasting plasma triglycerides (TG). Individuals in the highest tertile (TG > 2.5 mM;...

Dyslipidemias and insulin resistance often present simultaneously, as in familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), and therefore may have a common genetic background. In our previous study the Pro12Ala substitution of peroxisome proliferator receptor g 2 (PPARg2) associated with insulin sensitivity, low body mass index (BMI) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. In this study, w...
