Modulation of the inflammatory response through vaccination has shown promise in animal models of atherogenesis and obesity-main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Tableted preparation, V-6, containing pooled antigens derived from pig adipose tissue was administered per os daily to 13 volunteers for 3 months. Total cholesterol and LDL levels have not changed from the baseline value; 193.4 vs 191.8 (p=0.75) and 113.8 vs 117.2 (p=0.18), respectively. Triglyceride levels declined by 26.1% from 163 to 120.5mg/dL (p=0.29). HDL increased by 25.9% from 38.6 to 48.5mg/dL (p=0.000002) in 12 out 13 patients. Despite negligible effect of V6 on weight and body mass index, i.e., 67.87 vs 66.58 kg (-1.9%; p=0.46) and 26.25 vs 25.75 kg/m(2) (-1.9%; p=0.35), statistically significant reduction in waist (-7.6%; p=0.002), mid-arm (-3.3%; p=0.049), and thigh (-7.6%; p=0.0003) circumferences were observed. Blood pressure systolic and diastolic values were not affected, i.e., 115.6 vs 121 (p=0.2) and 77.1 vs 83 (p=0.55). No changes were observed in liver ALT and AST enzymes. Creatinine decreased; 0.877 vs 0.842 mg/dL (p=0.02), while BUN has shown slight increase; 14.8 vs 16.1mg/dL (p=0.03) but within normal range. Fasting blood sugar levels were also within normal range, i.e., 94.8 vs 98.8 (p=0.04). Complete blood cell analysis has not revealed any change except slight decrease in hemoglobin 13.25-13.19 g/dL (p=0.0004), but its amount per red blood cell (MCH) increased from 25.62 up to 26.42 picograms/cell (p=0.000003). The average red blood cell size (MCV) increased from 78.5 to 80.0 fl (p=0.00009) but hemoglobin concentration relative to size of the cell (MCHC) has not changed (p=0.2). Hematocrit and red blood cells count decreased slightly, but within normal range 40.7-40.2% (p=0.02) and 5.22-5.05 x 10(6)cells/mm(3) (p=0.002). The number of platelets moved upward, 2.471 vs 2.921 x 10(5)per mm(3) (p=0.009). The white blood cells count and percent of leukocytes and neutrophils were not affected. Pro-inflammatory eosinophils declined from 4.0% down to 2.4% (p=0.29). These results show that V6 is safe and holds a promise as an anti-atherogenic and overweight/obesity immune intervention.
口服含有猪脂肪组织来源的混合抗原的 V-6 片剂制剂,每日一次,共 13 名志愿者连续服用 3 个月。总胆固醇和 LDL 水平从基线值没有变化;分别为 193.4 与 191.8(p=0.75)和 113.8 与 117.2(p=0.18)。甘油三酯水平从 163 降至 120.5mg/dL,下降了 26.1%(p=0.29)。13 名患者中有 12 名的高密度脂蛋白增加了 25.9%,从 38.6 升至 48.5mg/dL(p=0.000002)。尽管 V6 对体重和体重指数几乎没有影响,即 67.87 与 66.58kg(-1.9%;p=0.46)和 26.25 与 25.75kg/m2(-1.9%;p=0.35),但腰围(-7.6%;p=0.002)、上臂中部(-3.3%;p=0.049)和大腿(-7.6%;p=0.0003)的周长却明显减小。血压的收缩压和舒张压没有变化,分别为 115.6 与 121(p=0.2)和 77.1 与 83(p=0.55)。肝丙氨酸转氨酶和天冬氨酸转氨酶活性没有变化。肌酸酐降低;0.877 与 0.842mg/dL(p=0.02),而血尿素氮略有增加;14.8 与 16.1mg/dL(p=0.03),但仍在正常范围内。空腹血糖水平也在正常范围内,即 94.8 与 98.8(p=0.04)。全血细胞分析除血红蛋白略有下降外(13.25-13.19g/dL;p=0.0004),未发生其他变化,但每个红细胞的平均血红蛋白含量(MCH)从 25.62 增加到 26.42 皮克/细胞(p=0.000003)。平均红细胞体积(MCV)从 78.5 增加到 80.0fl(p=0.00009),但血红蛋白浓度与细胞大小的比值(MCHC)没有变化(p=0.2)。红细胞压积和红细胞计数略有下降,但仍在正常范围内(分别为 40.7-40.2%;p=0.02 和 5.22-5.05 x 106cells/mm3;p=0.002)。血小板数量上升,为 2.471 与 2.921 x 105/mm3(p=0.009)。白细胞计数、白细胞百分比和中性粒细胞百分比不受影响。促炎嗜酸性粒细胞从 4.0%下降到 2.4%(p=0.29)。这些结果表明,V6 是安全的,具有作为抗动脉粥样硬化和超重/肥胖免疫干预的潜力。
