Recent studies have failed to establish a causal relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (HDL-C) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), shifting focus to other HDL measures. We previously reported that smaller/denser HDL levels are protective against cerebrovascular disease. This study sought to determine which of small+medium HDL particle concentration (HDL-P) or large HDL-P was more strongly associated with carotid intima-media thickening (cIMT) in an ethnically diverse cohort.
In cross-sectional analyses of participants from the Multi Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), we evaluated the associations of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-measured small+medium versus large HDL-P with cIMT measured in the common and internal carotid arteries, through linear regression. After adjustment for CVD confounders, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-C, and small+medium HDL-P remained significantly and inversely associated with common (coefficient=-1.46 μm; P=0.00037; n=6512) and internal cIMT (coefficient=-3.82 μm; P=0.0051; n=6418) after Bonferroni correction for 4 independent tests (threshold for significance=0.0125; α=0.05/4). Large HDL-P was significantly and inversely associated with both cIMT outcomes before HDL-C adjustment; however, after adjustment for HDL-C, the association of large HDL-P with both common (coefficient=1.55 μm; P=0.30; n=6512) and internal cIMT (coefficient=4.84 μm; P=0.33; n=6418) was attenuated. In a separate sample of 126 men, small/medium HDL-P was more strongly correlated with paraoxonase 1 activity (rp=0.32; P=0.00023) as compared to both total HDL-P (rp=0.27; P=0.0024) and large HDL-P (rp=0.02; P=0.41) measures.
Small+medium HDL-P is significantly and inversely correlated with cIMT measurements. Correlation of small+medium HDL-P with cardioprotective paraoxonase 1 activity may reflect a functional aspect of HDL responsible for this finding.
近期研究未能证实高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平(HDL-C)与心血管疾病(CVD)之间存在因果关系,研究重点遂转向其他HDL指标。我们之前报道过,较小/较致密的HDL水平可预防脑血管疾病。本研究旨在确定在一个种族多样化队列中,小+中HDL颗粒浓度(HDL-P)和大HDL-P哪一个与颈动脉内膜中层厚度(cIMT)的关联更强。
在动脉粥样硬化多族裔研究(MESA)参与者的横断面分析中,我们通过线性回归评估了核磁共振波谱法测量的小+中HDL-P与大HDL-P和颈总动脉及颈内动脉cIMT之间的关联。在对CVD混杂因素、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、HDL-C进行校正后,经过4次独立检验的Bonferroni校正(显著性阈值=0.0125;α=0.05/4),小+中HDL-P与颈总动脉(系数=-1.46μm;P=0.00037;n=6512)和颈内动脉cIMT(系数=-3.82μm;P=0.0051;n=6418)仍显著负相关。在对HDL-C进行校正之前,大HDL-P与两个cIMT结果均显著负相关;然而,在对HDL-C进行校正后,大HDL-P与颈总动脉(系数=1.55μm;P=0.30;n=6512)和颈内动脉cIMT(系数=4.84μm;P=0.33;n=6418)的关联减弱。在一个包含126名男性的独立样本中,与总HDL-P(rp=0.27;P=0.0024)和大HDL-P(rp=0.02;P=0.41)指标相比,小/中HDL-P与对氧磷酶1活性的相关性更强(rp=0.32;P=0.00023)。
小+中HDL-P与cIMT测量值显著负相关。小+中HDL-P与具有心脏保护作用的对氧磷酶1活性之间存在相关性,这可能反映了导致这一结果的HDL的功能特性。
