Cao J, Zhu J, Zhao S. Dietary isoflavone intake is inversely associated with remnant cholesterol in US adults: A cross-sectional study. Heart Lung 2024; 67:5-11. [PMID: 38569436 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrtlng.2024.03.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that dietary isoflavones are negatively correlated with total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, few studies have investigated the link between dietary isoflavones and remnant cholesterol (RC). OBJECTIVES We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database to explore the association between dietary isoflavone intake and RC. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 4731 participants aged ≥ 20 years from the 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2017-2018 NHANES databases. We adopted univariate and multiple linear regression analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) to assess the relationship between dietary isoflavone intake and RC. Moreover, we conducted stratified and interaction analyses to ensure the stability of the results and identify specific populations. RESULTS The weighted multifactor linear regression model showed a negative correlation between dietary isoflavone intake and remnant cholesterol (Model 2, β = -0.049, 95% CI: (-0.096, -0.002), P = 0.040). The RCS analysis indicated that there was an L-shaped negative correlation between dietary isoflavone intake and RC (P-value for non-linearity was 0.0464). Stratified analyses showed the inverse relationship between dietary isoflavone intake and RC persisted in most subgroups and there was no interaction except for the recreational activity group. CONCLUSIONS Our study found a non-linear and negative association between dietary isoflavone intake and RC in US adults, so we hypothesized that consuming an isoflavone-rich diet may help reduce blood RC and further reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Insulin resistance potentiates the effect of remnant cholesterol on cardiovascular mortality in individuals without diabetes. Atherosclerosis 2024; 395:117508. [PMID: 38570208 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Remnant cholesterol (RC) and insulin resistance (IR) have been independently associated with cardiovascular risk. Here, we evaluated the role of IR and RC on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. METHODS We conducted an analysis of 16,113 individuals ≥20 years without diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES-III/IV). RC levels were calculated using total cholesterol, non-HDL-c, and LDL-c; IR was defined as HOMA2-IR≥2.5 and CVD mortality as a composite of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the relationship between HOMA2-IR and RC and Cox regression models to assess their joint role in CVD mortality. Causally ordered mediation models were used to explore the mediating role of IR in RC-associated CVD mortality. RESULTS We identified an association between higher HOMA2-IR and higher RC levels. The effect of IR on CVD mortality was predominant (HR 1.32, 95%CI 1.18-1.48) and decreased at older ages (HR 0.934, 95%CI 0.918-0.959) compared to RC (HR 0.983, 95%CI 0.952-1.014). Higher risk of CVD mortality was observed in individuals with IR but normal RC (HR 1.37, 95%CI 1.25-1.50) and subjects with IR and high RC (HR 1.24, 95%CI 1.13-1.37), but not in subjects without IR but high RC. In mediation models, HOMA2-IR accounted for 78.2% (95%CI 28.11-98.89) of the effect of RC levels on CVD mortality. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that RC potentiates the risk of CVD mortality through its effect on whole-body insulin sensitivity, particularly among younger individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE Remnant cholesterol (RC) is a contributor to cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. However, the specific relationship between RC and bone metabolism remains unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationships of RC with hip bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of low bone mass. METHODS Physical examination data was collected from men aged < 60 years as part of the Kailuan Study between 2014 and 2018. The characteristics of the participants were compared between RC quartile groups. A generalized linear regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between RC and hip BMD and a logistic regression model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for low bone mass. Additional analyses were performed after stratification by body mass index (BMI) (≥ or < 24 kg/m2). Sensitivity analyses were performed by excluding individuals who were taking lipid-lowering therapy or had cancer, cardiovascular diseases, or diabetes. RESULTS Data from a total of 7,053 participants were included in the analysis. After adjustment for confounding factors, RC negatively correlated with hip BMD (β = - 0.0079, 95% CI: - 0.0133, - 0.0025). The risk of low bone mass increased from the lowest to the highest RC quartile, with ORs of 1 (reference), 1.09 (95% CI: (0.82, 1.44), 1.35 (95%CI: 1.02, 1.77), and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.09, 1.89) for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively (P for trend = 0.004) in the fully adjusted model. Compared to RC < 0.80 mmol/l group, the risk of low bone mass increased 39% in RC ≥ 0.80 mmol/l group (P < 0.001). The correlation between RC and hip BMD was stronger in participants with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 group (β = - 0.0159, 95% CI: - 0.0289, - 0.0029). The results of sensitivity analyses were consistent with the main results. CONCLUSION We have identified a negative correlation between serum RC and hip BMD, and a higher RC concentration was found to be associated with a greater risk of low bone mass in young and middle-aged men.

Abstract
Aims: This study sought to evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and traditional and nontraditional lipid parameters, including atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient and remnant cholesterol. Methods: After the application of exclusion criteria, 309 patients were allocated according to the absence (n = 52) or presence (n = 257) of H. pylori infection. Results: Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels were nonsignificantly higher, and HDL-C levels were nonsignificantly lower, in the H. pylori-infected patient group. Triglyceride-to-HDL-C ratio, LDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio, atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient and remnant cholesterol were comparable among groups. Conclusion: There was no significant association between H. pylori infection and traditional and nontraditional novel lipid parameters and indices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remnant cholesterol (RC) is an important marker for assessing the risk of metabolic syndrome. However, the correlation between RC and hyperuricemia (HUA) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the correlation between RC and HUA in American adults. METHODS A total of 9089 participants from the 2013-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were investigated. The correlation between RC and the odds of HUA was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The nonlinear correlation was described using fitted smoothed curves. The correlation in subgroups was analyzed based on race, gender, alcohol consumption, age, body mass index, waist circumference, diabetes and moderate physical activities. RESULTS RC was correlated with uric acid (Spearman's correlation coefficient = 0.208 in males and 0.215 in females; all P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated a positive correlation between RC and the risk of HUA (odds ratio = 1.022 in males and 1.031 in females; all P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed that the correlation was stronger in females, participants aged < 50 years, and those without diabetes. Furthermore, the generalized smooth curve fitting demonstrated a linear correlation between RC and HUA, without threshold or saturation effects. CONCLUSION Elevated RC significantly and positively correlated with HUA in American adults. This correlation was stronger among females, participants aged < 50 years, and those without diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of remnant-cholesterol (remnant-C) on incident end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has not been studied longitudinally. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between remnant-C and the development of ESRD in a nationwide Korean cohort. METHODS Participants in a National Health Insurance Service health examination (n = 3,856,985) were followed up until the onset of ESRD. The median duration of follow-up was 10.3 years. The Martin-Hopkins equation was used to determine low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels from directly measured triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and total cholesterol levels. Remnant-C levels were determined by subtracting HDL-C and LDL-C from total cholesterol. The risk for incident ESRD was calculated for each quartile of remnant-C, adjusting for conventional risk factors such as baseline renal function, comorbidities, and total cholesterol levels. RESULTS ESRD developed in 11,073 (0.29%) participants. The risk for ESRD exhibited a gradual increase according to higher levels of remnant-C, with a 61% increased risk in the highest quartile than in the lowest (hazard ratio [HR] 1.61 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-1.72]). The elevated risk for ESRD in the highest quartile versus the lowest quartile was more prominent in younger than in older subjects (20-29 years, HR 4.07 [95% CI 2.85-5.83]; 30-39 years, HR 2.39 [95% CI 1.83-3.13]; ≥ 70 years, HR 1.32 [95% CI 1.16-1.51]). In addition, the increased risk for ESRD related to higher remnant-C levels was greater in females than in males. CONCLUSIONS Independent of conventional risk factors, remnant-C levels were positively associated with incident ESRD, particularly in younger populations and adult females. Reducing remnant-C levels may be a novel preventive strategy against ESRD.

Abstract
Atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) are primary medications for schizophrenia (SZ). However, their use is frequently associated with the development of adverse metabolic effects, and the mechanisms behind these negative effects remain inadequately elucidated. To investigate the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in regulating antipsychotic-induced metabolic abnormalities, between 2017 and 2020, a cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 142 healthy individuals and 388 SZ patients undergoing treatment with either typical antipsychotic (TAP) or AAP medications. Symptoms of SZ patients were evaluated using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), and measurements of metabolic indices and plasma MIF levels were performed on all individuals. A significant increase in plasma MIF levels was observed in groups receiving five major AAP monotherapies in comparison to healthy controls (all p < 0.0001). There was no such increase shown in the group receiving TAP treatment (p > 0.05). Elevated plasma MIF levels displayed a notable correlation with insulin resistance (β = 0.024, p = 0.020), as well as with the levels of triglycerides (β = 0.019, p = 0.001) and total cholesterol (β = 0.012, p = 0.038) in the groups receiving AAPs. However, while the TAP group also displayed certain metabolic dysfunction compared to healthy controls, no significant association was evident with plasma MIF levels (all p > 0.05). In conclusion, plasma MIF levels exhibit a distinctive correlation with metabolic abnormalities triggered by AAPs. Hence, there is potential for further development of MIF as a distinctive marker for monitoring adverse metabolic effects induced by AAPs in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remnant cholesterol (RC) has been known as an important factor for the assessment of the metabolic syndrome (Mets) risk. However, the correlation between RC and hyperuricemia (HUA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the correlation between RC and HUA in patients with T2DM. METHODS A total of 2956 patients with T2DM admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from 2020 to 2022 were included. The correlation between RC and HUA was evaluated with Spearman's correlation, multiple logistic regression, subgroup analyses, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analyses and generalized smooth curve fitting. Total cholesterol (TC) < 5.18mmol/L was defined as normal TC. RESULTS RC was correlated with uric acid in patients with T2DM (Spearman's correlation coefficient = 0.279, P < 0.001). According to the multiple logistic regression analyses, there was an independent positive correlation between RC and HUA (OR = 1.63, 95%CI = 1.40, 1.90). In addition, a non-linear correlation between RC and HUA was identified. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of RC (0.658, 95%CI = 0.635, 0.681) was the largest compared with those of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and TC. Subgroup analyses showed a more significant positive correlation among females or normal TC groups. CONCLUSION Elevated RC is correlated with HUA in patients with T2DM significantly and positively. RC is better in its predictability for HUA than that of conventional lipid indexes.

Elevated level of urinary tellurium is a potential risk for increase of blood pressure in humans and mice. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 188:108735. [PMID: 38761428 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND People worldwide are routinely exposed to tellurium mainly via dietary ingestion. There has been no study to clarify the contribution of tellurium to blood pressure in humans or animals. METHODS In this cross-sectional study conducted in a general population of 2592 residents in Japan, the associations of urinary tellurium levels with blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension were investigated. The potential sources of tellurium were also investigated. An interventional study in mice confirmed the effect of tellurium exposure on blood pressure. RESULTS Linear and logistic regression analyses with consideration of confounders including urinary sodium-potassium ratio showed significant positive associations of urinary tellurium level with prevalence of hypertension and blood pressure. Cereals/beans and vegetables/fruits were determined to be potential dietary sources of tellurium exposure. Intermediary analysis suggested that increased intake of cereals/beans, but not that of vegetables/fruits, is positively associated with the tellurium-mediated risk of hypertension. Correspondingly, the mouse study showed that exposure to a putative human-equivalent dose of tellurium via drinking water increased blood pressure with an elevated level of urinary tellurium. The temporally increased blood pressure was decreased to the normal level by a break of tellurium exposure with a reduced level of urinary tellurium. CONCLUSIONS The interdisciplinary approach provided the first evidence that tellurium exposure is a potential risk for increase of blood pressure. Since the human urinary tellurium level in this study is comparable with the levels in general populations in other Asian and European countries in previous studies, exposure to tellurium may be a latent universal risk for hypertension.

Abstract
Remnant cholesterol (RC) is closely related to metabolic diseases. Our study aims to explore the relationship between RC and hyperuricemia. This cross-sectional study included 14 568 adults aged 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2018 in the United States. RC is calculated by subtracting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) from total cholesterol (TC). Hyperuricemia is defined by serum uric acid (SUA) levels≥7 mg/dl in men and≥6 mg/dl in women. The independent association between RC and hyperuricemia was evaluated. As the quartile range of RC levels increases, the prevalence of hyperuricemia also rises (7.84% vs. 13.71% vs. 18.61% vs. 26.24%, p<0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the fourth quartile of RC was associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia compared with the first quartile (OR=2.942, 95% CI 2.473-3.502, p<0.001). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis shows that RC outperforms other single lipid indices in hyperuricemia. Further Restricted Cubic Splines (RCS) analysis suggests a nonlinear relationship between RC levels and hyperuricemia. Elevated RC levels were found to be linked to hyperuricemia. Further studies on RC hold promise for both preventing and addressing hyperuricemia.

Hypertens Res 2024; 47:1157-1166. [PMID: 38212367 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01558-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Remnant cholesterol (RC) has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but its relationship with hypertension remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between RC and subsequent hypertension risk. Data from the UK Biobank, comprising 295,062 participants initially free of hypertension, were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards regression assessed the association between RC quartiles and hypertension risk. Discordance analysis evaluated the risk of hypertension in discordant/concordant groups of RC and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) using the difference in percentile units (>10 units). Restricted cubic spline curves were used to model the relationship between RC and hypertension risk. The mean ± SD age of participants was 55.1 ± 8.1 years, with 40.6% being men and 94.7% White. During a median follow-up of 12.8 years, 39,038 participants developed hypertension. Comparing extreme quartiles of RC, the hazard ratio (HR) for incident hypertension was 1.20 (95% CI: 1.17-1.24). After adjusting for traditional risk factors, each 1 mmol/L increase in RC levels was associated with a 27% higher risk of incident hypertension (HR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.23-1.31). The discordant group with high RC/low LDL-C exhibited a higher risk of incident hypertension compared to the concordant group (HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03-1.09). Spline curves further demonstrated a positive association between RC and the risk of incident hypertension. We concluded that elevated RC emerged as an independent risk factor of incident hypertension, extending beyond traditional risk factors. Monitoring RC levels and implementing interventions to lower RC may have potential benefits in preventing hypertension.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of the development of atherosclerosis (AS) is key to the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, existing laboratory approaches lack sensitivity and specificity, mostly due to the dearth of reliable AS biomarkers. Herein, we developed an in vivo fluorescent labeling strategy that allows specific staining of the foam cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in atherosclerotic plaques, which are released into the blood as circulating biomarkers for in vitro detection of AS. This strategy relies on a self-assembled nanoprobe that could recognize foam cells specifically, where the probe is degraded by the intracellular HClO to produce a trifluoromethyl-bearing boron-dipyrromethene fluorophore (termed B-CF3), a lipophilic dye that can be transferred to the exosomal membranes. These circulating B-CF3-stained EVs can be detected directly on a fluorescence spectrometer or microplate reader without resorting to any sophisticated analytical method. This liquid-biopsy format enables early detection and real-time differentiation of lesion vulnerability during AS progression, facilitating effective CVD management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the associations of serum remnant cholesterol (RC) levels with the progression and regression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in Chinese adults. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 13,903 individuals who underwent transient elastography tests (cohort 1) and a longitudinal study in 17,752 individuals who underwent at least two health check-up exams with abdominal ultrasound (cohort 2). Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were collected. Serum RC levels were calculated. Noninvasive fibrosis indices such as FIB-4 were evaluated in cohort 2. RESULTS In cohort 1, serum RC levels were positively and independently associated with the severity of hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis according to logistic regression analysis. In cohort 2, baseline serum RC levels were increased in participants with the incidence of MASLD and decreased in participants with the regression of MASLD during the follow-up period. Baseline serum RC levels were independently associated with an increased risk of development and a decreased likelihood of regression of MASLD: the fully adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were 2.785 (95 % CI 2.332-3.236, P < 0.001) and 2.925 (95 % CI 2.361-3.623, P < 0.001), respectively. In addition, when we used FIB-4 to evaluate liver fibrosis, baseline serum RC levels were positively correlated with the incidence of high-intermediate probability of advanced fibrosis. However, we did not find an association between serum RC levels and the regression of liver fibrosis. CONCLUSION Serum RC levels are independently correlated with the progression and regression of MASLD in Chinese adults, suggesting that RC may participate in the pathophysiological process of MASLD.

Abstract
MicroRNA-33b (miR-33b) affected various biological pathways in regulating cholesterol homeostasis which may link to the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic lesions. However, whether this marker is associated with the presence and severity of coronary heart disease (CHD) is undetermined. We aim to explore the diagnostic value of circulating miR-33b level in the presence and severity of CHD. Altogether 320 patients were enrolled, including 240 patients diagnosed with CHD while 80 were classified as controls after CAG examination. Circulating miR-33b level was analyzed in all subjects, the Gensini score was calculated to assess the severity of stenotic lesions. The association between miR-33b and the presence and severity of CHD was analyzed, and the diagnostic potential of miR-33b of CHD was performed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The CHD group had higher miR-33b levels (p < 0.001), and the miR-33b content significantly elevated following an increasing Gensini score (p for trend < 0.001). After adjustments for potential risk factors, such as several blood lipid markers, miR-33b remained a significant determinant for CHD (p < 0.001). ROC analysis disclosed that the AUC was 0.931. The optimal cutoff value of miR-33b was with a sensitivity of 81.3% and a specificity of 98.7% in differentiating CHD. It can prognosticate that the higher level of miR-33b was linked to increased severity of disease in CHD patients. Thus, the application of this marker might assist in the diagnosis and classification of CHD patients. Nevertheless, additional studies with larger sample sizes will be required to verify these results.

Abstract
The connection between triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and cardiometabolic multimorbidity, characterized by the concurrence of at least two of type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and stroke, has not been definitively established. We aim to examine the prospective associations between serum remnant cholesterol, triglycerides, and the risks of progression from first cardiometabolic disease to multimorbidity via multistate modeling in the UK Biobank. We also evaluate the causality of these associations via Mendelian randomization using 13 biologically relevant SNPs as the genetic instruments. Here we show that elevated remnant cholesterol and triglycerides are significantly associated with gradually higher risks of cardiometabolic multimorbidity, particularly the progression of ischemic heart disease to the multimorbidity of ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes. These results advocate for effective management of remnant cholesterol and triglycerides as a potential strategy in mitigating the risks of cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the potential link between physical activity (PA) and the heightened susceptibility to diabetes mellitus (DM), by examining whether remnant cholesterol (RC) might act as a mediator in this correlation. Methods The research utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, spanning from 2005 to 2018. Various statistical analyses were conducted for continuous and categorical variables, including the t-test, ANOVA, and χ2 test. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the association between PA and DM across three distinct models. Mediation analysis was also conducted to assess the potential mediation effects of RC. Results The study encompassed a total of 9,149 participants, and it was observed that individuals with DM exhibited lower levels of PA. Furthermore, PA levels were found to be associated with all participant characteristics except poverty income ratio, fasting blood glucose, and HOMA-IR (p < 0.05). After adjusting for covariates (Model 3), individuals with high PA levels demonstrated a decreased likelihood of developing DM compared to those in the low PA group (OR: 0.73, 95%CI: 0.54-0.99). A significant dose-response relationship was identified (p < 0.05). No interaction between PA and RC in relation to DM risk was detected, and RC was found to serve as a mediator in the connection between PA and DM. After considering covariates, the mediating effect of RC between PA and DM weakens. Discussion Our findings suggest that higher levels of PA are linked to a reduced risk of DM in U.S. adults, with RC likely playing a mediating role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. Morphological changes in retinal vessels have been reported to predict vascular complications of diabetes, including DR. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 6535 individuals with T2DM. The RC value was calculated using the recognized formula. The retinal vascular parameters were measured using fundus photography. The independent relationship between RC and DR was analyzed using binary logistic regression models. Multiple linear regression and subgroup analyses were employed to investigate the link between RC and vascular parameters, including the retinal arteriolar diameter (CRAE), venular diameter (CRVE), and fractal dimension (Df). Mediation analysis was performed to assess whether the vascular morphology could explain the association between RC and DR. RESULTS RC was independently associated with DR in patients with a longer duration of T2DM (> 7 years). Patients with the highest quartile RC levels had larger CRAE (5.559 [4.093, 7.025] μm), CRVE (7.620 [5.298, 9.941] μm) and Df (0.013 [0.009, 0.017]) compared with patients with the lowest quartile RC levels. Results were robust across different subgroups. The association between RC and DR was mediated by CRVE (0.020 ± 0.005; 95% confidence interval: 0.012-0.032). CONCLUSIONS RC may be a risk factor for DR among those who have had T2DM for a longer period of time. Higher RC levels were correlated with wider retinal arterioles and venules as well as higher Df, and it may contribute to DR through the dilation of retinal venules.

Higher remnant cholesterol is associated with an increased risk of amnestic mild cognitive impairment: a community-based cross-sectional study. Front Aging Neurosci 2024; 16:1332767. [PMID: 38410746 PMCID: PMC10894954 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2024.1332767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and aims Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is the most common subtype of MCI, which carries a significantly high risk of transitioning to Alzheimer's disease. Recently, increasing attention has been given to remnant cholesterol (RC), a non-traditional and previously overlooked risk factor. The aim of this study was to explore the association between plasma RC levels and aMCI. Methods Data were obtained from Brain Health Cognitive Management Team in Wuhan (https://hbtcm.66nao.com/admin/). A total of 1,007 community-dwelling elders were recruited for this project. Based on ten tools including general demographic data, cognitive screening and some exclusion scales, these participants were divided into the aMCI (n = 401) and normal cognitive groups (n = 606). Physical examinations were conducted on all participants, with clinical indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids collected. Results The aMCI group had significantly higher RC levels compared to the normal cognitive group (0.64 ± 0.431 vs. 0.52 ± 0.447 mmol/L, p < 0.05). Binary logistics regression revealed that occupation (P<0.001, OR = 0.533, 95%CI: 0.423-0.673) and RC (p = 0.014, OR = 1.477, 95% CI:1.081-2.018) were associated factors for aMCI. Partial correlation analysis, after controlling for occupation, showed a significant negative correlation between RC levels and MoCA scores (r = 0.059, p = 0.046), as well as Naming scores (r = 0.070, p = 0.026). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that RC levels had an independent predictive efficacy in predicting aMCI (AUC = 0.580, 95%CI: 0.544 ~ 0.615, P < 0.001). Conclusion Higher RC levels were identified as an independent indicator for aMCI, particularly in the naming cognitive domain among older individuals. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to validate the predictive efficacy of RC.

J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13498. [PMID: 37961994 PMCID: PMC10859310 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing incidence of diabetes worldwide, patients diagnosed with diabetes has been getting younger. Previous studies have shown that high remnant cholesterol (RC) level leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease events. However, the relationship between RC levels and newly diagnosed early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is unknown. This study aimed to explore the association between RC and newly diagnosed early-onset T2DM. METHODS A total of 606 patients newly diagnosed with early-onset T2DM and 619 gender-matched subjects with normal blood glucose levels were retrospectively enrolled in this study. All T2DM patients showed onset age of 18-40 years. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze independent risk factors and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to explore the predictive value of RC and other unconventional lipids. Moreover, the correlation between RC and insulin resistance in patients with newly diagnosed early-onset T2DM was also examined with binary logistic regression analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS Increased RC level was an independent risk factor for early-onset T2DM (p < .05). The area under the curve on ROC analysis of RC was 0.805, 95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.781 ~ 0.826, sensitivity was 82.18% and specificity was 66.24%, which showed higher predictive value than those of triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and total cholesterol (TC)/HDL-C ratio. Cutoff value of RC was 0.32 mmol/L. Level of RC in early-onset T2DM patients with moderate or severe insulin resistance was significantly higher than that in patients with mild insulin resistance (p < .0001). No difference in RC levels was found between patients with moderate and severe insulin resistance (p > .05). RC was still correlated with insulin resistance after adjusting the conventional lipid parameters (TG, TC, HDL-C, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) using partial correlation analysis. CONCLUSION RC level was higher in patients with early-onset T2DM and was correlated to the degree of insulin resistance as well. Patients aged 18-40 years with RC >0.32 mmol/L showed an increased risk of developing T2DM.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an acute renal complication that can occur after the use of iodinated contrast media. Remnant cholesterol (RC) is one of the markers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. We evaluated the impact of RC on CIN and clinical outcomes after coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Consecutive patients (n = 3332) undergoing CAG and/or PCI were assessed in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into four groups based on baseline RC levels. In the quartile analysis, RC were associated with a higher risk of CIN, especially when RC ≤0.20 or ≥0.38 mmol/L (P < .05). However, after adjustment, the association of RC with CIN was not significant. There was a significant correlation between RC and repeated revascularization in patients undergoing PCI (P < .001) and driven primarily by the highest quartile level. After adjustment, this remained statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 4.06; 95% CI 2.10-7.87; P < .001). This is the first large study to show a possible association between RC and the risk of CIN after CAG and/or PCI; however, this finding was not further confirmed after adjustment. The complex clinical risk profile of patients, rather than RC itself, may contribute to the risk of CIN in this high-risk subgroup.

Guo J, Peng Y, Liu R, Yi C, Guo Q, Yang X. Remnant cholesterol predicts cardiovascular mortality beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with peritoneal dialysis. J Clin Lipidol 2023; 17:708-716. [PMID: 37723014 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2023.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) are prone to dyslipidemia. However, studies concerning remnant cholesterol (RC) in such patients are limited. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the association between RC and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients on PD. METHODS Patients who initiated PD at our center (2006-2018) were retrospectively enrolled. Adjusted Cox models were used to evaluate the independent association between baseline RC levels and CV mortality. We classified patients into 4 concordant/discordant categories according to their baseline lipid profiles. Cox models were then used to determine the association between different low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and RC levels and CV mortality risk. RESULTS The study enrolled 2333 individuals, with a mean RC of 33.4 mg/dL. RC levels were positively associated with CV mortality risk independent of LDL-C in patients on PD (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1. 00-1.10). In the concordant/discordant categories, patients with high LDL-C and RC levels had a higher CV mortality risk (HR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.01-2.28) than those with low LDL-C and RC levels in the entire cohort. Moreover, in older patients, a higher RC level increased CV mortality risk regardless of the LDL-C level (HR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.22-4.74; HR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.12-4.14). CONCLUSIONS RC levels are elevated in patients on PD and can predict CV mortality beyond LDL-C levels. RC levels should be considered alongside LDL-C levels when assessing prognostic lipid levels in these patients. More attention should be given to RC than to LDL-C in older patients undergoing PD.

Abstract
CONTEXT The association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the association between RC and GDM. METHODS We used data from the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort, a prospective cohort study in China. Fasting lipid concentrations were measured around 16 weeks' gestation. RC was calculated as total cholesterol minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. GDM was diagnosed by a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test at 24 to 28 weeks' gestation. Log-Poisson regression models were performed to estimate relative risks (RRs) of GDM across quartiles of RC levels and triglyceride (TG) levels after adjustment for potential confounders. TG and RC were mutually adjusted. RESULTS Among 2528 women, 256 (10.1%) developed GDM. The adjusted RRs (95% CIs) for GDM across increasing quartiles of RC were 1.00 (reference), 1.35 (0.91, 1.99), 1.68 (1.16, 2.45), and 1.73 (1.19, 2.50), respectively. Compared to pregnant women without 3 risk indicators (TG <2.08 mmol/L, RC <0.40 mmol/L, and pre-BMI <24.0 kg/m2), the risk of GDM was elevated in those with normal pre-BMI but high RC (aRR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.08, 2.19) or high TG (aRR: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.33, 3.49). For those with all 3 risk indicators, the risk of GDM was the highest (aRR: 4.80; 95% CI: 3.20, 7.18). CONCLUSION Elevated RC levels were associated with the increased risk of GDM and independent of traditional risk factors. Pregnant women with high pre-BMI, high TG, and high RC were at greatly increased risk of GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic evidence suggested that remnant cholesterol (RC) is associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In recent years, RC has been connected with different types of cardiometabolic disorders. We aim to clarify the relationship among RC, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and subsequent CVD. METHODS We enrolled 7471 individuals into our study from China Health and Nutrition Survey in 2009 and followed participants till 2015. RC was calculated as total cholesterol minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CVD was defined as myocardial infarction and stroke. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the association between RC and MetS as well as CVD. We further investigated whether the association between RC and CVD was mediated by MetS. RESULTS Of all subjects, 24.73% were diagnosed with MetS and 2.74% developed CVD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis elucidated that per-tertile-increase in RC was associated with MetS after adjusting all the confounder factors, (odds ratio: 3.49, 95% confidence interval CI 3.21-3.79, P for trend < 0.001). And per-tertile-increase RC had a significant increased risk of CVD (hazard ratio: 1.26, 95% CI 1.06-1.50, P for trend = 0.008). Meanwhile, we found that RC level is associated with the prevalence of all the components of MetS. Significant indirect effects of RC between MetS and CVD were found, with the index mediated at 48.46% of the association. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides the evidence that RC level is independently associated with the prevalence of MetS and each component of MetS. MetS partially mediated the association between RC level and CVD risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on whether remnant cholesterol (RC) affects the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain insufficient. This study aimed to determine whether RC level was associated with the severity of CKD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS In total, 3383 individuals diagnosed with T2DM were enrolled in this cross-sectional study from China. The severity of CKD was defined as no, moderate, severe, and very severe CKD based on the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Because RC was non-normally distributed, it was log-transformed and categorized into quantiles. Multivariate logistic regression and multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate whether RC was independently associated with CKD and its severity. RESULTS The median RC level was 25.9 mg/dL. The number of patients with no, moderate, severe, and very severe CKD was 2587 (76.5 %), 520 (15.4 %), 189 (5.6 %), and 87 (2.5 %), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, the prevalence of CKD increased 1.67-fold when the log-transformed RC level was elevated by one unit (OR [95 % CI], 1.67 [1.43-1.95]). The likelihood of CKD severity increasing by one degree was 1.76-fold for each one-unit increase in log-transformed RC level (OR [95 % CI], 1.76 [1.52-2.05]). When RC was incorporated as a categorical variable, it still correlated with CKD severity compared with quantile 1 (Q1) (Q2, 1.30 [1.01-1.68]; Q3, 1.60 [1.23-2.07]; Q4, 2.39 [1.86-3.09]). The association remained regardless of whether the patient's traditional lipid profiles achieved the target range. CONCLUSION RC level was associated with CKD severity even when traditional lipid profiles were within the target range in patients with T2DM.

Guan B, Wang A, Xu H. Causal associations of remnant cholesterol with cardiometabolic diseases and risk factors: a mendelian randomization analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:207. [PMID: 37563569 PMCID: PMC10416527 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01927-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests that remnant cholesterol (RC) is strongly associated with an increased incidence of cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). However, the causality have not been confirmed. We aimed to evaluate the causal associations of RC with CMD and the relative risk factors using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. METHODS Summary-level statistics of RC, CMD, and cardiometabolic risk factors were obtained from the published data from individuals with a predominantly European ancestry mainly from the UK Biobank and the FinnGen biobank. Univariable and multivariable MR analyses were used to evaluate the causal relationships between RC and CMD. A bidirectional MR analysis was performed to estimate the causality between RC and cardiometabolic risk factors. The main MR method was conducted using the inverse-variance weighted method. RESULTS Univariable MR analyses showed that genetically predicted RC was causally associated with higher risk of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation and flutter, peripheral artery disease, and non-rheumatic valve diseases (all P < 0.05). Multivariable MR analyses provided compelling evidence of the harmful effects of RC on the risk of ischemic heart disease (P < 0.05). Bidirectional MR analysis demonstrated that RC was bidirectionally causally linked to total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hypercholesterolemia (all P < 0.05). However, no genetic association was found between RC and metabolic disorders or the other cardiometabolic risk factors. CONCLUSIONS This MR study demonstrates that genetically driven RC increases the risk of several CMD and cardiometabolic risk factors, suggesting that targeted RC-lowering therapies may be effective for the primary prevention of CMD.

Abstract
Arteriosclerosis, as the foundation for the development of cardiovascular diseases, is influenced by disturbances in lipid metabolism. Extensive research has consistently shown a correlation between conventional lipid parameters, arteriosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Guidelines highlight the importance of targeting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, with reducing LDL-C remaining the primary lipid-lowering strategy. However, even when LDL-C is lowered to optimal levels, there is a residual risk of cardiovascular disease. Recent findings have brought attention to remnant cholesterol (RC) as a significant factor contributing to this residual risk. The close association between RC, arteriosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases presents exciting opportunities for lifestyle interventions and medical treatments to control and lower RC levels, offering new targets for preventing and managing related cardiovascular conditions. Our systematic review sheds light on the importance of considering RC as a valuable biomarker in assessing arteriosclerosis and its potential impact on cardiovascular health. By understanding the link between remnant cholesterol and arteriosclerosis, researchers and healthcare professionals can develop targeted interventions to mitigate cardiovascular risks, thus improving public health outcomes and reducing the economic burden associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background Remnant cholesterol (RC) has been suggested to be implicated in atherosclerosis. The objective of the study was to evaluate the association between RC and first-ever stroke in the Chinese general population and to investigate whether the association is mediated via hypertension or diabetes. Methods This study is a retrospective cohort analysis of participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey. Participants without previous stroke and myocardial infarction in 2009 were enrolled and followed up in 2011 and 2015. Logistic regression analyses were adopted to explore the association of RC with stroke risk. Propensity score methods and doubly robust estimation method were used to ensure the robustness of our findings. Potential mediators were identified by mediation analyses. Results A total of 7,035 participants were involved, and during 6 years of follow-up, 78 (1.1%) participants experienced a first-ever stroke. Participants with high RC had a significantly higher incidence of stroke (1.4% versus 0.8%; p = 0.007). High RC was associated with 74% higher stroke risk after adjusting for multiple relevant variables (odds ratio [OR], 1.74; 95% CI, 1.06-2.85). The association was consistent in analyses using propensity score methods and doubly robust estimation method. Hypertension showed a significant mediating effect on the association between RC and stroke, while the mediating effect of diabetes was not significant. Conclusion High RC increased the risk of first-ever stroke in the Chinese general population without previous stroke and myocardial infarction, partially through the pathway of hypertension. RC might be a potential target for the primary prevention of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remnant cholesterol is receiving increasing attention because of its association with various diseases. However, there have been no studies on remnant cholesterol levels and depression. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was performed based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2016. Depression was assessed using a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Fasting remnant cholesterol was calculated as the total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Logistic regression analysis with sampling weights was used to examine the association between remnant cholesterol concentration and depression. RESULTS Among 8,263 adults enrolled in this study (weighted mean age, 45.65 years), 5.88% (weighted percentage) had depression. Compared to the participants without depression, those with depression had higher concentration of remnant cholesterol (weighted mean, 26.13 vs. 23.05, P < 0.001). There was a significant positive relationship between remnant cholesterol concentration and depression and multivariable-adjusted OR with 95% CI was 1.49 (1.02-2.17). Among the subgroup analyses, remnant cholesterol concentration was positively associated with depression among participants less than 60 years (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.09-2.42), male (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.01-4.05), BMI under 30 (OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.14-2.96), and those with diabetes (OR, 3.88; 95% CI, 1.43-10.49). CONCLUSIONS Remnant cholesterol concentration positively correlated with depression, suggesting that a focus on remnant cholesterol may be useful in the study of depression.

Abstract
ObjectiveEmerging evidence suggests that elevated remnant cholesterol (RC) correlates with several health conditions. To explore the association of plasma RC with MCI incidence and the relationship between plasma RC and different domains of cognition in MCI patients.MethodsThirty-six MCI patients and 38 cognitively healthy controls (HC) were enrolled in the present cross-sectional study. Using total cholesterol (TC) minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as the formula for calculating fasting RC. Cognition was assessed using the Chinese version of the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Trail Making Test (TMT), and Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF).ResultsCompared to healthy controls, MCI patients had a higher level of RC, the median difference in RC levels between these two groups was 8.13 mg/dl (95.0%CI: 0.97–16.1). Concurrently, plasma RC level was positively associated with MCI risk (OR = 1.05, 95%CI: 1.01–1.10). Notably, elevated RC level was correlated with impaired cognition in MCI patients, such as DSST (pr = −0.45, p = 0.008), ROCF- Long Delayed Recall (pr = −0.45, p = 0.008), AVLT-Immediate Recall (pr = −0.38, p = 0.028), and TMT-A (pr = 0.44, p = 0.009). Conversely, no significant correlation was found between RC and the AVLT-Long Delayed Recall test.ConclusionThis study found that plasma remnant cholesterol was associated with MCI. Further large longitudinal studies are needed in the future to confirm the results and clarify the cause-and-effect relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and diabetes remains unclear in Chinese. METHODS AND RESULTS We used the data of 9464 Chinese adults aged ≥45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Estimated RC level was calculated as total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess the relationships between RC and diabetes. RESULTS After 6 years of follow-up, a total of 777 respondents experienced new-onset diabetes. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, the adjusted hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals) for the highest versus lowest quartile of RC was 1.45 (1.19-1.75) for risk of diabetes, and each 1-SD increase of RC (19.52 mg/dl) was associated with 9 % (HRs = 1.09; 1.03-1.15) increased risk of diabetes. There were also significant linear associations between RC level and diabetes (P for linearity <0.001). CONCLUSION Elevated RC levels were positively associated with increased risk of diabetes in Chinese adult population, suggesting that RC could be considered as a preferential predictor and treatment target of diabetes in Chinese population. Future prospective studies are needed to verify our findings and to assess the effect of RC-lowering interventions in diabetes prevention.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) contamination is a global public health problem. Elevated total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, but data on the association of urinary arsenic species’ level and LDL-C are limited. We performed an association analysis based on urinary arsenic species and blood TC and LDL-C in US adults. Methods: Urinary arsenic, arsenic acid (AA), dimethylarsinic (DMA), monomethylarsonic (MMA), TC, LDL-C, and other key covariates were obtained from the available National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2003 to 2020. Multiple linear regression analysis and generalized linear model are used to analyze linear and nonlinear relationships, respectively. Results: In total, 6633 adults aged 20 years were enrolled into the analysis. The median total urinary arsenic level was 7.86 µg/L. A positive association of urinary arsenic concentration quartiles was observed with TC (β: 2.42 95% CI 1.48, 3.36). The OR for TC of participants in the 80th versus 20th percentiles of urinary total arsenic was 1.34 (95% CI 1.13, 1.59). The OR for LDL-C of participants in the 80th versus 20th percentiles of urinary total arsenic was 1.36 (95% CI 1.15, 1.62). For speciated arsenics analysis, the OR for arsenic acid and TC was 1.35 (95% CI 1.02, 1.79), whereas the OR for DMA and LDL-L was 1.20 (95% CI 1.03, 1.41), and the OR for MMA and LDL-L was 1.30 (95% CI 1.11, 1.52). Conclusions: Urinary arsenic and arsenic species were positively associated with increased LDL-C concentration. Prevention of exposure to arsenic and arsenic species maybe helpful for the control of TC and LDL-C level in adults.
