Plasma Apolipoprotein CI and CIII Levels Are Associated With Increased Plasma Triglyceride Levels and Decreased Fat Mass in Men With the Metabolic Syndrome

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To determine whether, in accordance with observations in mouse models, high concentrations of the lipoprotein lipase inhibitors apolipoprotein (Apo) CI and ApoCIII are associated with increased triglyceride concentrations and decreased fat mass in men with the metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma ApoCI, ApoCIII, and triglyceride concentrations were measured in the postabsorptive state in 98 men with the metabolic syndrome. Subcutaneous and visceral fat areas were measured by 3T-magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS Triglyceride concentrations were 49% higher, and the average visceral fat area was 26% lower (both P < 0.001), in subjects with high ApoCI and ApoCIII compared with low ApoCI and ApoCIII. Subjects with either high ApoCI or ApoCIII had 16% (P < 0.05) and 18% (P < 0.01) decreased visceral fat area, respectively. CONCLUSIONS High concentrations of ApoCI and ApoCIII are associated with increased triglycerides and decreased visceral fat mass in men with the metabolic syndrome. These findings translate mouse studies into human pathophysiology.

Objective(s) The Sst-I polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo CIII gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between Sst-I polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (HLP) patients from Semnan province, Iran. Materials and Methods Genomic DNA was pr...

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome has a high prevalence and and it is accompanied by a collection of clinical symtom, such as obesity, hypertension, increased fasting blood sugar and triglyceride (TG), and HDL reduction, along with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Recent studies have considered the reduction of antioxidant capacity as one of the important causes of the comp...

Insulin resistance syndrome, also referred to as the metabolic syndrome or syndrome X, refers to a constellation of common metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (e.g. obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia), which are all cardiovascular risk factors. Insulin resistance can be induced by fructose-rich diet in rats. We investigated the effect of vanadyl sulfate (0.2 mg...
متن کاملInterrelationship between Androgen Levels, Ageing, and Cognitive Functions
As men get older, there is a decline in functioning of many biological systems; the endocrine systems share such changes in hormone levels. Ageing in men is accompanied by progressive, but individually variable decline in serum testosterone production in healthy men especially in men over 60 years of age. Androgens determine the differentiation of male internal and external genitalia as well as...
متن کاملAssociations of common polymorphisms in GCKR with metabolic syndrome
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by a combination of cardio-metabolic risk factors. Given that genetic factors have been shown to contribute to individual susceptibility to MetS, the identification of genetic markers for disease risk is essential. Recent studies revealed that rs780094 and rs1260326 of glucokinase regulatory gene (GCKR) are associated with serum triglycerid...
