Effects of statin use on total oxidant and antoxidant capacity and ceruloplasmin activity.

چکیده
PURPOSE Oxidative damage plays an important role in atherosclerosis development. Statin drugs have anti-oxidant properties, but the clinical value of their antioxidant properties remains unclear. In this study, our aims were: (1) to assess the anti-oxidant effects of statins in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) using a newly developed valid measure of total oxidant and anti-oxidant capacity; and (2) to identify whether statins influence ceruloplamin levels. METHODS Within a cross-sectional study, 67 dyslipidemic CAD patients on atorvastatin for at least three months were compared with 69 age- and gender-matched CAD patients not using atorvastatin. All patients were either newly-diagnosed with or already had established CAD. Patients and controls were selected from among patients who had undergone coronary angiography for a variety of reasons. Immediately prior to angiography, plasma total oxidant and antioxidant capacity and ceruloplasmin (Cp) levels were measured by means of a relatively new and highly-reliable method. RESULTS Total oxidant capacity levels were significantly lower and total antioxidant capacity significantly higher in those on atorvastatin; serum seruloplasmin levels also were significanly increased in the atorvastatin groups (all p < 0.05). On multivariate analysis, atorvastatin use was a significant determinant of Cp increase, independent of any antioxidant effect. CONCLUSIONS This study clearly demonstrates increased anti-oxidant capacity and decreased oxidative stress with statin use. Atorvastatin use may also increase Cp levels although this effect appears to be independent of its anti-oxidant effects.

متن کاملIntact human ceruloplasmin oxidatively modifies low density lipoprotein.
Ceruloplasmin is a plasma protein that carries most of the copper found in the blood. Although its elevation after inflammation and trauma has led to its classification as an acute phase protein, its physiological role is uncertain. A frequently reported activity of ceruloplasmin is its ability to suppress oxidation of lipids. In light of the intense recent interest in the oxidation of plasma L...
