چکیده
AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) structure and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activation capacity in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with different acute-phase inflammatory response (APR). METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-five STEMI patients were stratified in quartiles according to the delta CRP level, calculated by subtracting the CRP value at admission from the CRP peak value (APR peak). The HDL structure and HDL capacity to stimulate NO production were evaluated at admission and at APR peak. STEMI patients with a low APR had a completely preserved HDL structure and HDL ability to activate eNOS and promote NO production, which did not change during STEMI. On the contrary, HDL from STEMI patients developing a significant APR had compromised ability to stimulate eNOS and promote NO production, and underwent a significant particle remodelling during STEMI. The defective capacity to stimulate NO production of HDL isolated from STEMI patients with high APR was explained, at least in part, by the reduced PON-1 and S1P content. The HDL ability to promote cell cholesterol efflux through different pathways was preserved in ACS patients independently of the inflammatory response. CONCLUSION The present results extend previous studies reporting an impaired eNOS-activating capacity of HDL from ACS patients, showing that only a subset of patients undergoing STEMI, and in particular those developing an important inflammatory response, have circulating HDL defective in stimulating endothelial eNOS and NO production.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a cardiovascular disease which is related to mortality and morbidity among the Indians predominantly in the older age group. But, recently CAD has been found more often in young population. Hence, our study aims to observe the outcomes based on various categories of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels estimated during admission at the h...

Therapies that raise levels of HDL, which is thought to exert atheroprotective effects via effects on endothelium, are being examined for the treatment or prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the endothelial effects of HDL are highly heterogeneous, and the impact of HDL of patients with CAD on the activation of endothelial eNOS and eNOS-dependent pathways is unknown. Here we ha...
