    Notes: Summary The increased risk of atherosclerotic disease in diabetic subjects may be due to enhanced foam cell formation following an increased susceptibility of low density lipoprotein to oxidative modification. This study has compared fatty acid content and lipoprotein oxidisability in 10 non-insulin-dependent diabetic subjects with that in 10 control subjects. Both groups were normocholesterolaemic and the diabetic subjects had higher triglyceride levels (2.2±0.4 vs 1.2±0.2 mmol/l, p〈0.05). The fatty acid composition was compared in low density lipoprotein following Folch extraction, separation by thin layer chromatography (for the lipid classes) and analysis by gas liquid chromatography. Low density lipoprotein oxidisability was assessed by conjugated diene and thiobarbituric acid reacting substance formation in the presence of copper ions. The esterified/free cholesterol ratio was higher in the low density lipoprotein from patients compared to control subjects (2.9±0.1 vs 1.9±0.3, p〈0.05). Linoleic acid in the cholesteryl ester fraction of the lipoprotein was higher in the patients than in the control subjects (48.2±2.2% vs 42.4±3.4%, p〈0.05) as was the total quantity of linoleic acid in the cholesteryl ester fraction (317.8±68.0 vs 213.2±28.0 Μg/mg protein, p〈0.05) and in the low-density lipoprotein as a whole (443.2±70.0 vs 340.2±28.2 Μg/mg protein, p〈0.05). Lipoprotein oxidisability was also increased in the diabetic group with increased formation of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (35.6±7.2 vs 22.3±3.5 nmol/mg protein, p〈0.05, increased total diene formation (502±60 vs 400±30 nmol/mg protein, p〈0.05) and increased rate of diene formation (7.2±0.6 vs 5.1±0.9 nmol diene · mg protein−1 · min−1, p〈0.05). This study indicates that low-density lipoprotein from diabetic subjects is more susceptible to oxidation. This could, in vivo, accelerate foam-cell formation thereby increasing atherosclerotic risk in diabetic subjects.

    Notes: Abstract We have previously demonstrated alterations in apolipoprotein B-48 metabolism in the post-prandial state in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This study investigates the relationship between hypertriglyceridaemia and post-prandial lipoprotein metabolism. Four groups of patients were examined: non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients, with normal serum triglyceride levels (serum triglyceride 〈2.1 mmol l−1; haemoglobin HbA1c 5.5%±0.4%); poorly controlled, non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridaemia (serum triglyceride 〉2.1 mmol 1−1; HbA1c 8.8%±0.9%); nondiabetic subjects with serum triglycerides 〈2.1 mmoll−1; and non-diabetic subjects with hypertriglyceridaemia (serum triglyceride〉2.1 mmol l−1). Subjects were studied fasting and following a high-fat meal (1300 kcal). The triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction was isolated by ultracentrifugation (d〈1.006 g ml−1). Apoprotein B-48, apoprotein B-100 and apoprotein E were separated on 4%–15% gradient gels and quantified as a percentage of the fasting concentration by densitometric scanning. Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein apolipoprotein B-48 and apolipoprotein B-100 post-prandial profiles demonstrated a maximum increase either at 2 h or rising still further to a peak at 6 h before falling in the diabetic groups and hypertriglyceridaemic non-diabetic subjects when compared with the normotriglyceridaemic control subjects whose levels decreased after 2 h (P〈0.05). A significantly different triglyceride-rich lipoprotein apolipoprotein E profile was also exhibited by the diabetic patients (P〈0.05). Levels of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein and apoprotein B were elevated in the hypertriglyceridaemic subjects, both diabetic and non-diabetic. These results indicate that hypertriglyceridaemia is associated with altered metabolism and composition of post-prandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles in both poorly controlled diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.
