Abstract:
We have analysed the plasma and LDL oxidation susceptibility in individuals with and without the presence od cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVES: To study the lipid peroxidation levels in plasma and LDL fraction in subjects with and without DHD risk factors: Hipercholesterolemia, Obesity, Diabetis, Odl age and Tabacco. To study the modification induced in the lipid peroxidation levels in plasma and LDL in hypercholesterolemia subjects after Probucol treatment and in obese subjects after a very low calory diet. SUBJECTES AND METHODS: Were recruited 83 patients attending to the metabolic Unit of Sant Joan Hospital (33 hypercholesterolemia, 25 diabetic, 25 obese). As control group were recruited 93 apparenty healthy individuals. A complete lipoprotein profile was determined by ultracentrifugation in them all. Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances were measured inn plasma and LDL fraction. In the hypercholesterolemia patients similar measurement were also carried out after 3 and 6 month if Probucol treatment. In the morbide obesity patients TBARS were analysed after 4 weeks on a very calory diet. RESULTS: Hipercholesterolemia patients had a higher concentration of TBARS both in plasma and LDL that the normalcholesterolemia subjects (7.69±2.19 vs 5.14±1.74 p<0.01, 3.19±1.07 vs 2.19±0.70 p<0.01). The TBARS values were normalized after Probucol treatment reaching the control group values (p<0.01 compared to basal values). Diabetic patients also had higher plasma and LDL oxidation values tham the control group (6.89±1.52 vs 5.14±1.74 p<0.01, 2.60±0.64 vs 2.19±0.70 p<0.05). In the morbid obesity woman group TBARS were higher tham in decreased after the diet period although remained higher tham in controls. The TBARS values were higher in the elderly subjects >65 years respect to the 30-64 years group (8.09±1.30 vs 5.14±1.74), 30-64 years group (8.09±1.30 vs 5.14±1.74 p<0.01, 3.07±0.54 vs 2.19±0.54 p<0.01). TBARS and age were lineally correlated r:0.6543 p<0.01, r:0.5923 p<0.01, when smokers were excluded. Smokers had higher TBARS in plasma and LDL oxidation concentration tham non smokers (6.72±1.73 vs 6.03±1.96, 4.0±1.15 vs 2.74±0.86 p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Hypercholesteolemia, diabetis, morbide obesity, smoking and ageing are associated to increased plasma and LDL oxidability. This could be a mechanism to explain the increased CHD risk associated the this conditions. Probucol and weight lose tend to correct the susceptibility to oxidation.
