Lipoprotein Subfractions in Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Clinical Significance and Therapeutic Approaches

2013

Small, dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) represents an emerging cardiovascular risk factor, since these particles can be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) independently of established risk factors, including plasma lipids. Obese subjects frequently have atherogenic dyslipidaemia, including elevated sdLDL levels, in addition to elevated triglycerides (TG), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and apolipoprotein-B, as well as decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Obesity-related co-morbidities, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) are also characterized by dyslipidaemia. Therefore, agents that favourably modulate LDL subclasses may be of clinical value in t…

The clinical significance of the size of low-density-lipoproteins and the modulation of subclasses by fibrates

2007

Beyond total low-density-lipoproteins (LDL) levels, increasing evidence suggests that the 'quality' of LDL exerts a great influence on the cardiovascular risk. Several studies have also shown that the therapeutic modulation of LDL size is of benefit in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Hypolipidaemic treatment is able to alter LDL subclass distribution but strong variations have been noticed among different agents. Fibrates have a major impact on triglyceride metabolism and in modulating LDL size and subclasses, but variations exist among the different molecules.A literature search (by Medline and Scopus) was performed using the following headings: 'small dense LDL', 'LDL size', '…

In vivo metabolism of LDL subfractions in patients with heterozygous FH on statin therapy

2004

LDL can be subfractionated into buoyant (1.020-1.029 g/ml(-1)), intermediate (1.030-1.040 g/ml(-1)), and dense (1.041-1.066 g/ml(-1)) LDLs. We studied the rebound of these LDL-subfractions after LDL apheresis in seven patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) regularly treated by apheresis (58 +/- 9 years, LDL-cholesterol = 342 +/- 87 mg/dl(-1), triglycerides = 109 +/- 39 mg/dl(-1)) and high-dose statins. Apolipoprotein B (apoB) concentrations were measured in LDL subfractions immediately after and on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 after apheresis. Compartmental models were developed to test three hypotheses: 1) that dense LDLs are derived from the delipidation of buoyant and in…
