To investigate the correlation between gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and remnant-like particle cholesterol (RLP-C) in dyslipidemic patients.
General cardiometabolic variables, plus serum GGT and RLP-C levels, were measured in 118 dyslipidemic patients (59 males, mean age 58 ± 13 years). Correlation analyses of GGT with other variables, including RLP-C, were performed.
The median levels (interquartile ranges) of RLP-C and GGT were 0.21 mmol/l (0.14-0.35) and 26 IU/l (17-39), respectively. A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed an independent, significant and positive correlation between GGT and RLP-C (β = 0.351, p < 0.001), followed by male gender and BMI.
There was a significant positive association between GGT and RLP-C, thereby indicating that the association between GGT and cardiovascular disease may be partly due to the interaction with RLP-C in dyslipidemic patients. Further research is therefore warranted to confirm the observed relationship.
探讨血脂异常患者γ-谷氨酰转移酶(GGT)与残粒样脂蛋白胆固醇(RLP-C)之间的相关性。
对 118 例血脂异常患者(59 例男性,平均年龄 58±13 岁)进行了一般心血管代谢变量,以及血清 GGT 和 RLP-C 水平的检测。对 GGT 与包括 RLP-C 在内的其他变量之间的相关性进行了分析。
RLP-C 和 GGT 的中位数(四分位数间距)分别为 0.21mmol/l(0.14-0.35)和 26IU/l(17-39)。逐步多元回归分析显示,GGT 与 RLP-C 之间存在独立、显著和正相关(β=0.351,p<0.001),其次是男性性别和 BMI。
GGT 与 RLP-C 之间存在显著的正相关,这表明 GGT 与心血管疾病之间的关联可能部分归因于血脂异常患者中 GGT 与 RLP-C 的相互作用。因此,有必要进行进一步的研究来证实观察到的这种关系。
