Cardiovascular (CV) events occur even when LDL-C are <100mg/dL. To improve the detection of CV risk we investigated the apoB/apoA-I ratio versus LDL-C in subjects considered normal glucose tolerant (NGT) by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
We enrolled 616 NGT (273 men and 343 women), and we measured insulin resistance, lipid profile, apoB/apoA-I and the factors compounding the metabolic syndrome (MetS). An unfavourable apoB/apoA-I (≥0.9 for males and ≥0.8 for females) was present in 13.9% of 108 patients with LDL-C <100mg/dL: compared to subjects with lower apoB/apoA-I (<0.9 for males and <0.8 for females), they had more elements of MetS and their lipid profile strongly correlated with high CV risk. Out of 314 patients with lower apoB/apoA-I, 40.12% had LDL-C ≥130mg/dL: these retained a more favourable lipid profile than corresponding subjects with elevated apoB/apoA-I ratio. Finally, we found a significant correlation between LDL-C and apoB/apoA-I ratio (r=0.48, p<0.0001).
In NGT with LDL-C <100mg/dL, a higher apoB/apoA-I exhibited an atherogenic lipid profile, indicating that LDL-C alone is insufficient to define CV risk. Independent from LDL-level, when apoB/apoA-I is lower, the lipid profile is, in fact, less atherogenic. This study demonstrates that apoB/apoA-I is at least complementary to LDL-C in identifying the "effective" CV risk profile of asymptomatic NGT subjects.
即使 LDL-C<100mg/dL,心血管(CV)事件仍会发生。为了提高 CV 风险的检出率,我们通过口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)研究了载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 比值与 LDL-C 在被认为是正常糖耐量(NGT)的受试者中的相关性。
我们纳入了 616 例 NGT(273 名男性和 343 名女性),并测量了胰岛素抵抗、血脂谱、载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 以及代谢综合征(MetS)的复合因素。在 108 例 LDL-C<100mg/dL 的患者中,有 13.9%存在不良的载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I(男性≥0.9,女性≥0.8):与载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 较低的患者相比(男性<0.9,女性<0.8),他们有更多的 MetS 元素,他们的血脂谱与高 CV 风险密切相关。在 314 例载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 较低的患者中,有 40.12%的 LDL-C≥130mg/dL:这些患者的血脂谱比相应的载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 比值升高的患者更有利。最后,我们发现 LDL-C 与载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 比值之间存在显著相关性(r=0.48,p<0.0001)。
在 LDL-C<100mg/dL 的 NGT 中,较高的载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 表现出致动脉粥样硬化的血脂谱,表明 LDL-C 单独不足以确定 CV 风险。与 LDL 水平无关,当载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 较低时,血脂谱实际上不那么具有致动脉粥样硬化性。本研究表明,载脂蛋白 B/载脂蛋白 A-I 在确定无症状 NGT 受试者的“有效”CV 风险谱方面至少与 LDL-C 具有互补性。
