Abstract
BACKGROUND The connection between urinary bisphenol A (BPA) and hyperlipidemia is still unclear, and few studies have evaluated whether urinary BPA affects mortality among individuals with hyperlipidemia. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the link between urinary BPA and hyperlipidemia and assess the impact of urinary BPA on mortality risk in subjects with hyperlipidemia. METHODS We analyzed data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2016. Multivariable logistic analysis was performed to examine the relationship between urinary BPA and hyperlipidemia. Cox regression analysis was carried out to investigate the relationship between urinary BPA and all-cause mortality in subjects with hyperlipidemia. RESULTS This study included 8,983 participants, of whom 6,317 (70.3%) were diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. The results showed that urinary BPA was higher in participants with hyperlipidemia group than those without hyperlipidemia (3.87 ± 0.32 vs. 2.98 ± 0.14, P = 0.01). Urinary BPA levels were analyzed in tertiles. Compared with tertile 1 of BPA (reference), the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of hyperlipidemia related to tertile 3 of BPA was 1.28 (1.11-1.48). The hazard ratio for all-cause death associated with the highest versus lowest tertile of urinary BPA was 1.20 (95% confidence interval: 1.01-1.44; P = 0.04) among participants with hyperlipidemia. CONCLUSIONS The study indicated a positive relationship between urinary BPA and the risk of hyperlipidemia. Urinary BPA was associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality in adults with hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are often linked to structural and functional impairments, such as heart defects and circulatory dysfunction, leading to compromised peripheral perfusion and heightened morbidity risks. Metabolic remodeling, particularly in the context of cardiac fibrosis and inflammation, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of CVDs. Metabolic syndromes further predispose individuals to these conditions, underscoring the need to elucidate the metabolic underpinnings of CVDs. Lactate, a byproduct of glycolysis, is now recognized as a key molecule that connects cellular metabolism with the regulation of cellular activity. The transport of lactate between different cells is essential for metabolic homeostasis and signal transduction. Disruptions to lactate dynamics are implicated in various CVDs. Furthermore, lactylation, a novel post-translational modification, has been identified in cardiac cells, where it influences protein function and gene expression, thereby playing a significant role in CVD pathogenesis. In this review, we summarized recent advancements in understanding the role of lactate and lactylation in CVDs, offering fresh insights that could guide future research directions and therapeutic interventions. The potential of lactate metabolism and lactylation as innovative therapeutic targets for CVD is a promising avenue for exploration.

Abstract
Lipid disorders represent one of the most worrisome cardiovascular risk factors. The focus on the impact of lipids on cardiac and vascular health usually concerns low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, while the role of triglycerides (TGs) is given poor attention. The literature provides data on the impact of higher plasma concentrations in TGs on the cardiovascular system and, therefore, on the outcomes and comorbidities of patients. The risk for coronary heart diseases varies from 57 to 76% in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Specifically, the higher the plasma concentrations in TGs, the higher the incidence and prevalence of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Nevertheless, the metabolism of TGs and the exact physiopathologic mechanisms which try to explain the relationship between TGs and cardiovascular outcomes are not completely understood. The aims of this narrative review were as follows: to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the metabolism of triglycerides and a possible suggestion for understanding the targets for counteracting hypertriglyceridemia; to describe the inner physiopathological background for the relationship between vascular and cardiac damages derived from higher plasma concentrations in TGs; and to outline the need for promoting further insights in therapies for reducing TGs plasma levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between blood lipid levels and the risk of developing liver cancer remains a subject of ongoing debate. To elucidate this association, we conducted a meta-analysis by systematically incorporating data from all relevant prospective cohort studies. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases covering studies published from database inception through July 2023. This study included prospective cohort studies related to lipid profiles (e.g., total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels) that reported hazard ratios (HRs) or relative risks (RRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) to investigate their association with the risk of liver cancer. During the analysis process, we used fixed-effects or random-effects models based on the level of heterogeneity among the studies and obtained pooled risk ratios using these models. To ensure the robustness and reliability of the study findings, we also conducted sensitivity analyses and publication bias analyses. RESULTS After conducting a systematic search, 12 studies were identified from a total of 11,904 articles and were included in the meta-analysis. These studies included a combined population of 10,765,221 participants, among whom 31,055 cases of liver cancer were reported. The analysis revealed that the pooled HR for the serum TC concentration (highest versus lowest) was 0.45 (95% CI = 0.35-0.58, I2 = 78%). For TGs, the HR was 0.67 (95% CI = 0.46-0.96, I2 = 86%), while for HDL-C, the HR was 0.72 (95% CI = 0.58-0.90, I2 = 65%). The HR for LDL-C was 0.51 (95% CI = 0.23-1.13, I2 = 93%). CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that serum TC, TG, and HDL-C levels are negatively associated with liver cancer risk, suggesting that higher concentrations of these lipids are associated with a reduced risk of liver cancer. However, no significant association has been found between LDL-C levels and liver cancer risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In recent years, scientific interest in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and remnant cholesterol has increased, focusing on the evidence that these lipoproteins are a causal factor for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Furthermore, a high remnant concentration (>38 mg/dL) has been associated with several non-cardiovascular risks. We aimed in this study to describe the percentile distribution of remnant cholesterol. Additionally, we evaluated the association between remnant cholesterol plasma concentration and epidemiologically relevant cardio-metabolic outcomes such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and ASCVD. METHODS We analyzed data from 9,591 adults from the National Survey of Health and Nutrition (ENSANUT) 2018 with fasting blood samples and complete medical history questionnaires. We built multivariate models to evaluate the association between chronic diseases and blood remnant concentration. To compare our 2018-sub-sample against a population reference, we used the NHANES (2005-2014) publicly available datasets by ethnicity. RESULTS Remnants were independently associated with cardiovascular risk, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. For all outcomes, the blood remnant concentration was a stronger predictor than LDL. At all deciles, the blood remnant concentration was higher in ENSANUT-2018. CONCLUSIONS A remnant blood concentration above 38 mg/dL was highly prevalent among Mexicans. Remnants were significantly associated with a higher risk of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular risk. This association occurred independently of other lipid markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comprehensive blood lipoprotein profiles and their association with incident coronary heart disease (CHD) among racially and geographically diverse populations remain understudied. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted nested case-control studies of CHD among 3438 individuals (1719 pairs), including 1084 White Americans (542 pairs), 1244 Black Americans (622 pairs), and 1110 Chinese adults (555 pairs). We examined 36 plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins, measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, with incident CHD among all participants and subgroups by demographics, lifestyle, and metabolic health status using conditional or unconditional logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders. Conventionally measured blood lipids, that is, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, were each associated with incident CHD, with odds ratios (ORs) being 1.33, 1.32, 1.24, and 0.79 per 1-SD increase among all participants. Seventeen lipoprotein biomarkers showed numerically stronger associations than conventional lipids, with ORs per 1-SD among all participants ranging from 1.35 to 1.57 and a negative OR of 0.78 (all false discovery rate <0.05), including apolipoprotein B100 to apolipoprotein A1 ratio (OR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.45-1.7]), low-density lipoprotein-triglycerides (OR, 1.55 [95% CI, 1.43-1.69]), and apolipoprotein B (OR, 1.49 [95% CI, 1.37-1.62]). All these associations were significant and consistent across racial groups and other subgroups defined by age, sex, smoking, obesity, and metabolic health status, including individuals with normal levels of conventionally measured lipids. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlighted several lipoprotein biomarkers, including apolipoprotein B/ apolipoprotein A1 ratio, apolipoprotein B, and low-density lipoprotein-triglycerides, strongly and consistently associated with incident CHD. Our results suggest that comprehensive lipoprotein measures may complement the standard lipid panel to inform CHD risk among diverse populations.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 249:118354. [PMID: 38325778 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness (AS) is an important predicting factor for cardiovascular disease. However, no epidemiological studies have ever explored the mediating role of biomarkers in the association between ozone and AS, nor weather fish oil modified such association. METHODS Study participants were drawn from the UK biobank, and a total of 95,699 middle-aged and older adults were included in this study. Ozone was obtained from Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model matched to residential addresses, fish oil from self-reported intake, and arterial stiffness was based on device measurements. First, we applied a double robust approach to explore the association between ozone or fish oil intake and arterial stiffness, adjusting for potential confounders at the individual and regional levels. Then, how triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (Apo B)/apolipoprotein A (ApoA) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) mediate the relationship between ozone and AS. Last, the modifying role of fish oil was further explored by stratified analysis. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 55 years; annual average ozone exposure was associated with ASI (beta:0.189 [95%CI: 0.146 to 0.233], P < 0.001), and compared to participants who did not consume fish oil, fish oil users had a lower ASI (beta: 0.061 [95%CI: -0.111 to -0.010], P = 0.016). The relationship between ozone exposure and AS was mediated by triglycerides, ApoB/ApoA, and Non-HDL-C with mediation proportions ranging from 10.90% to 18.30%. Stratified analysis showed lower estimates on the ozone-AS relationship in fish oil users (P = 0.011). CONCLUSION Ozone exposure was associated with higher levels of arterial stiffness, in contrast to fish oil consumption, which showed a protective association. The association between ozone exposure and arterial stiffness was partially mediated by some biomarkers. In the general population, fish oil consumption might provide protection against ozone-related AS.

Lipid Association of India 2023 update on cardiovascular risk assessment and lipid management in Indian patients: Consensus statement IV. J Clin Lipidol 2024; 18:e351-e373.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In 2016, the Lipid Association of India (LAI) developed a cardiovascular risk assessment algorithm and defined low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals for prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in Indians. The recent refinements in the role of various risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis in prediction of ASCVD risk necessitated updating the risk algorithm and treatment goals. METHODS The LAI core committee held twenty-one meetings and webinars from June 2022 to July 2023 with experts across India and critically reviewed the latest evidence regarding the strategies for ASCVD risk prediction and the benefits and modalities for intensive lipid lowering. Based on the expert consensus and extensive review of published data, consensus statement IV was commissioned. RESULTS The young age of onset and a more aggressive nature of ASCVD in Indians necessitates emphasis on lifetime ASCVD risk instead of the conventional 10-year risk. It also demands early institution of aggressive preventive measures to protect the young population prior to development of ASCVD events. Wide availability and low cost of statins in India enable implementation of effective LDL-C-lowering therapy in individuals at high risk of ASCVD. Subjects with any evidence of subclinical atherosclerosis are likely to benefit the most from early aggressive interventions. CONCLUSIONS This document presents the updated risk stratification and treatment algorithm and describes the rationale for each modification. The intent of these updated recommendations is to modernize management of dyslipidemia in Indian patients with the goal of reducing the epidemic of ASCVD among Indians in Asia and worldwide.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Elevated remnant cholesterol is observationally and causally associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in the general population. This association is not well studied in individuals with diabetes, who are often included in clinical trials of remnant cholesterol-lowering therapy. We tested the hypothesis that elevated remnant cholesterol is associated with increased risk of ASCVD in individuals with diabetes. We also explored the fraction of excess risk conferred by diabetes which can be explained by elevated remnant cholesterol. METHODS We included 4569 white Danish individuals with diabetes (58% statin users) nested within the Copenhagen General Population Study (2003-2015). The ASCVDs peripheral artery disease, myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke were extracted from national Danish health registries without losses to follow-up. Remnant cholesterol was calculated from a standard lipid profile. RESULTS During up to 15 years of follow-up, 236 individuals were diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, 234 with myocardial infarction, 226 with ischaemic stroke and 498 with any ASCVD. Multivariable adjusted HR (95% CI) per doubling of remnant cholesterol was 1.6 (1.1, 2.3; p=0.01) for peripheral artery disease, 1.8 (1.2, 2.5; p=0.002) for myocardial infarction, 1.5 (1.0, 2.1; p=0.04) for ischaemic stroke, and 1.6 (1.2, 2.0; p=0.0003) for any ASCVD. Excess risk conferred by diabetes was 2.5-fold for peripheral artery disease, 1.6-fold for myocardial infarction, 1.4-fold for ischaemic stroke and 1.6-fold for any ASCVD. Excess risk explained by elevated remnant cholesterol and low-grade inflammation was 14% and 8% for peripheral artery disease, 26% and 16% for myocardial infarction, 34% and 34% for ischaemic stroke, and 24% and 18% for any ASCVD, respectively. LDL-cholesterol did not explain excess risk, as it was not higher in individuals with diabetes. We also explored the fraction of excess risk conferred by diabetes which can be explained by elevated remnant cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Elevated remnant cholesterol was associated with increased risk of ASCVD in individuals with diabetes. Remnant cholesterol and low-grade inflammation explained substantial excess risk of ASCVD conferred by diabetes. Whether remnant cholesterol should be used as a treatment target remains to be determined in randomised controlled trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article sumarizes pathopysiological consequencies between obesity and dyslipidemia and aims to bring some practical approach. RECENT FINDINGS Dyslipidemia is often present in individuals with obesity and simultaneusly, many obese individuals have lipid metabolism disorders. Especially the abdominal obesity increases the cardiometabolic risk because of the presence of atherogenic dyslipidemia while the total low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) may be normal. LDL-C is the primary goal in dyslipidemia treatment. Apoliprotein B (Apo B) and non - high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) should be estimated to precise the cardiovascular risk and represents the secondary goal in treatment. Weight loss either with diet or antiobestic medication induces the decrease in triglycerides (TG) and LDL-C and the increase in HDL-C. Composition of nutrients, esp. fatty acids, influences lipid levels. Bariatric surgery is efficient in weight loss and has a significant effect on serum lipids. Dyslipidemia and obesity present common diseases that must be managed to decrease the cardiovascular risk and the risk of obesity-related complications.

Abstract
Clinically, disorders of lipid metabolism often remain without symptoms. Typical skin lesions, however, can be indicative. Secondary hyperlipoproteinemias (HLP) are more common than primary hyperlipoproteinemias; they can (partially) be improved by treating the underlying disease. Basic diagnostics consist of the determination of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. To exclude secondary HLP, glucose, HbA1C, TSH, transaminases, creatinine, urea, protein and protein in the urine are useful. Since virtually all routine methods for LDL-C are biased by high triglycerides, lipoprotein electrophoresis is indicated for triglycerides above 400 mg/dl (4.7 mmol/l). Primary HLPs have known or yet unknown genetic causes. Primary hyperlipidemias should be taken into consideration especially in young patients with an LDL cholesterol concentration are above 190 mg/dl (4.9 mmol/l) and/or triglycerides above 400 mg/dl (10 mmol/l) and secondary HLP (obesity, alcohol, diabetes mellitus, kidney disease) is excluded. The basic diagnostics is meaningfully extended by the measurement of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)). It is indicated in moderate and high risk of vascular disease, progression of atherosclerosis in "well-controlled" LDL cholesterol, familial clustering of atherosclerosis or high Lp(a), evidence for elevated Lp(a) coming from lipoprotein electrophoresis, aortic stenosis and in patients in whom statins have a poor effect. Genetic diagnostics needs to be considered if primary HLP is suspected. It is most frequently conducted for suspected familial hypercholesterolemia and has already been recommended in guidelines.

Abstract
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic pathological condition that has remained clinically silent for decades, and the epidemic has continued to be on the rise due to risk factors, including diet, lifestyle, hyperlipidemia, pathogenic microorganisms, and aging. Using various synthetic drugs in treating atherosclerosis is associated with a high risk of myositis, angioedema, myoglobinuria, and acute renal failure. Various side effects of the available drugs have been reported; attempts are underway to explore natural sources with antiatherosclerotic activity. Aim and objective: Using a diet-induced atherosclerosis rat model, the current study tested the hypothesis of antiatherosclerotic and antihyperlipidemic roles of Terminalia catappa fruit extracts. Materials and Methods: Atherosclerosis in Wistar rats was induced using an atherogenic diet. Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were determined using analytical kits. Results: Quantitative phytochemical analysis of the extracts demonstrated that the plant had flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, sterols, phenols, and anthraquinones. Diet-induced atherogenic Wistar rats showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to the healthy control group; however, the atherogenic lipid profile was reversed by the treatment of T. catappa fruit extracts. The biochemical experiments demonstrate that T. catappa fruit extracts have an antihyperlipidaemic effect, shown by a decreased coronary risk index and the atherogenic index, and an increased cardioprotective index, compared to disease control. Conclusion: The current study indicates that T. catappa fruit extracts may contain bioactive molecules to treat atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglycerides are a major source of energy, while high plasma triglycerides are a risk factor for various diseases and premature death. Severely elevated plasma triglycerides are a well-established cause of acute pancreatitis with high mortality, likely due to the presence of elevated levels of chylomicrons and large very low-density lipoproteins in plasma. As markedly elevated levels of these very large lipoproteins are not generally found in mild to moderate hypertriglyceridemia, this was previously not regarded as a cause or marker of increased risk of acute pancreatitis. However, mild to moderate hypertriglyceridemia may identify individuals who at a later timepoint develop severe hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis. CONTENT We describe measurement of plasma triglycerides and studies on plasma triglycerides and risk of acute pancreatitis. Further, we summarize current European and American guidelines for the prevention of acute pancreatitis and, finally, the potential for future prevention of acute pancreatitis through lowering of plasma triglycerides. SUMMARY Recent observational and genetic studies indicate that mild to moderate hypertriglyceridemia is causally related to increased risk of acute pancreatitis, most likely as a marker of future severe hypertriglyceridemia. Current guidelines do not mention individuals with mild to moderate hypertriglyceridemia, even though newer evidence suggests an unmet medical need. Treatment could include plasma triglyceride-lowering therapy targeting the pathway for lipoprotein lipase as the main triglyceride degrading enzyme in plasma. Angiopoietin-like 3 and apolipoproteinC-III are inhibitors of lipoprotein lipase, and blocking of these 2 inhibitors is showing promising results in relation to marked triglyceride-lowering and could perhaps be used to prevent acute pancreatitis in the future.

Triglyceride content increases while cholesterol content decreases in HDL and LDL+IDL fractions following normal meals: The Copenhagen General Population Study of 25,656 individuals. Atherosclerosis 2023; 383:117316. [PMID: 37820443 PMCID: PMC7615473 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.117316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS During fat tolerance tests, plasma triglycerides increase while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) cholesterol decrease. However, it is unknown whether triglyceride content increases and cholesterol content decreases in HDL and LDL + IDL fractions following normal meals in the general population. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that triglyceride content increases while cholesterol content decreases in HDL and LDL + IDL fractions following normal meals. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we included 25,656 individuals aged 20-100 years, all without lipid-lowering therapy at examination and selected for metabolomic profiling from the Copenhagen General Population Study. Triglyceride and cholesterol content of 14 lipoprotein fractions weas measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Time since last meal was recorded by the examiner immediately before blood sampling. RESULTS Following normal meals in age and sex-adjusted analyses and when compared with fasting levels, plasma triglycerides were higher for up to 5-6 h, and triglyceride content was higher for up to 6-7 h in HDL fractions, for up to 6-7 h in LDL + IDL fractions, and for up to 5-6 h in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) fractions. Further, plasma cholesterol was lower for up to 2-3 h, and cholesterol content was lower for up to 0-1 h in HDL fractions and for up to 4-5 h in LDL + IDL fractions, while cholesterol content was higher for up to 4-5 h in VLDL fractions. CONCLUSIONS Following normal meals, triglyceride content increases while cholesterol content decreases in HDL and LDL + IDL fractions.

Triglycerides and risk of cardiovascular events in statin-treated patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: a Danish cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:187. [PMID: 37495999 PMCID: PMC10373341 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01921-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated triglyceride levels are a clinically useful marker of remnant cholesterol. It is unknown whether triglycerides are associated with residual cardiovascular risk in CVD-naïve patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who are already on statin therapy. We aimed to assess the association between triglyceride levels and risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) in statin-treated patients with newly diagnosed T2DM managed in routine clinical care. METHODS This cohort study included newly diagnosed T2DM patients without a previous diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in Northern Denmark during 2005-2017. Individual triglyceride levels while on statin treatment were assessed within 1 year after T2DM diagnosis. The primary outcome was a composite of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or cardiac death (MACE). Patients were followed from one year after T2DM diagnosis until 30 April 2021, MACE, emigration, or death. We used Cox regression to compute hazard ratios (HRs) controlling for confounding factors. RESULTS Among 27,080 statin-treated patients with T2DM (median age 63 years; 53% males), triglyceride levels were < 1.0 mmol/L in 17%, 1.0-1.9 mmol/L in 52%, 2.0-2.9 mmol/L in 20%, and ≥ 3.0 mmol/L in 11%. During follow-up, 1,957 incident MACE events occurred (11.0 per 1000 person-years). Compared with triglyceride levels < 1.0 mmol/L, confounder-adjusted HRs for incident MACE were 1.14 (95% CI 1.00-1.29) for levels between 1.0 and 1.9 mmol/L, 1.30 (95% CI 1.12-1.51) for levels between 2.0 and 2.9 mmol/L, and 1.44 (95% CI 1.20-1.73) for levels ≥ 3.0 mmol/L. This association was primarily driven by higher rates of myocardial infarction and cardiac death and attenuated only slightly after additional adjustment for LDL cholesterol. Spline analyses confirmed a linearly increasing risk of MACE with higher triglyceride levels. Stratified analyses showed that the associations between triglyceride levels and MACE were stronger among women. CONCLUSIONS In statin-treated patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, triglyceride levels are associated with MACE already from 1.0 mmol/L. This suggests that high triglyceride levels are a predictor of residual cardiovascular risk in early T2DM and could be used to guide allocation of additional lipid-lowering therapies for CVD prevention.

Achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts the pathophysiological evolution of lipid-rich plaques in acute coronary syndromes: an optical coherence tomography study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1181074. [PMID: 37502186 PMCID: PMC10369790 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1181074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background As a novel lipoprotein ratio, baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR) is closely related to the clinical outcomes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the pathophysiological impact of achieved LHR (aLHR) on the evolution of non-culprit lipid-rich plaques has not been systematically explored. Methods Between September 2013 and December 2018, ACS patients with both baseline and 1-year follow-up optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were included in current study. They were divided into two groups according to the median value of aLHR at 1 year. Results Overall, 132 patients with 215 lipid-rich plaques were enrolled, with a median aLHR: 1.62. There were thinner fibrous cap thickness (FCT) (133.3 [70.0-180.0] µm vs. 160.0 [100.0-208.3] µm, p = 0.025) and higher prevalence of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) (24 [22.4%] vs. 13 [12.0%], p = 0.044) and CLIMA-defined high-risk plaques (12 [11.2%] vs. 3[2.8%], p = 0.015) in the high aLHR group at 1 year. Compared with other serum lipid indexes, aLHR showed the best robust correlation with the evolution of plaque vulnerability in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Cut-off value of aLHR to predict the progression of maximal lipid arc and FCT was 1.51. In the adjusted model, aLHR ≥1.51 was an independent predictor of TCFA [odds ratio (OR): 3.008, 95% CI: 1.370 to 6.605, p = 0.006] at 1 year. Conclusions aLHR correlates well with the evolution of lipid-rich plaques and vulnerable phenotypes at 1-year follow-up, which might be an important and convenient serum indicator in the secondary prevention of ACS.

Abstract
In patients with hypertriglyceridemia, a short-term low-saturated fat vs high-saturated fat diet induced lower plasma lipids and improved monocyte phenotypes. These findings highlight the role of diet fat content and composition for monocyte phenotypes and possibly cardiovascular disease risk in these patients.

Untargeted Lipidomic Profiling Reveals Lysophosphatidylcholine and Ceramide as Atherosclerotic Risk Factors in apolipoprotein E Knockout Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24086956. [PMID: 37108120 PMCID: PMC10138920 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24086956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite the availability and use of numerous cholesterol-lowering drugs, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of mortality globally. Many researchers have focused their effort on identifying modified lipoproteins. However, lipid moieties such as lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and ceramide (CER) contribute to atherogenic events. LPC and CER both cause endothelial mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to fatty acid and triglyceride (TG) accumulation. In addition, they cause immune cells to differentiate into proinflammatory phenotypes. To uncover alternative therapeutic approaches other than cholesterol- and TG-lowering medications, we conducted untargeted lipidomic investigations to assess the alteration of lipid profiles in apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-/-) mouse model, with or without feeding a high-fat diet (HFD). Results indicated that, in addition to hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia, LPC levels were two to four times higher in apoE-/- mice compared to wild-type mice in C57BL/6 background, regardless of whether they were 8 or 16 weeks old. Sphingomyelin (SM) and CER were elevated three- to five-fold in apoE-/- mice both at the basal level and after 16 weeks when compared to wild-type mice. After HFD treatment, the difference in CER levels elevated more than ten-fold. Considering the atherogenic properties of LPC and CER, they may also contribute to the early onset of atherosclerosis in apoE-/- mice. In summary, the HFD-fed apoE-/- mouse shows elevated LPC and CER contents and is a suitable model for developing LPC- and CER-lowering therapies.
