    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 To explore further the possible etiologic role of mycobacteria in the development of sarcoidosis, we measured free, nonbound tuberculostearic acid (TSA, 10-methyloctadecanoic), a component of mycobacteria, in the sera of subjects with sarcoidosis or active untreated pulmonary tuberculosis and in healthy controls by use of frequency-pulsed electron capture gas-liquid chromatography (FPEC-GLC). The selective analytic system is capable of measuring as little as 15-fmol quantities of free, nonbound TSA in serum and cerebral spinal fluid. We found that TSA was present in the sera of all subjects with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (n = 10) but was undetectable in subjects with sarcoidosis (n = 15) and in healthy controls (n = 15), thereby suggesting that if sarcoidosis is caused by a mycobacterial organism, TSA is not produced or does not gain access to the systemic circulation in quantities sufficient for measurement. However, in the course of the studies we found that a peak, designated p11, was elevated in the sera of all subjects with acute sarcoidosis (n = 4). Also, a peak designated p3 was reduced significantly in all subjects with acute and chronic sarcoidosis and absent in subjects with M. tuberculosis compared with healthy controls. Both peaks were later shown by chemical analysis and mass spectral studies to be carboxylic acids not previously associated with specific disease entities. Follow-up detailed studies will be needed to determine if quantitation of these unique carboxylic acids will be useful in differentiating sarcoidosis from other disorders.

    Notes: The bands at 2485 and 940 cm-1 observed in the Raman spectra of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole represent the hydrogen-bonded ν(SH) stretching and δ(C-SH) in-plane bending modes, respectively. A quantitative study of the hydrogen bonding was carried out using intensity measurements of the bands assigned to the hydrogen-bonded and the free δ(C-SH) in-plane deformations at 940 and 919 cm-1, respectively, as a function of temperature. The Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectra were recorded over the temperature range 303-403 K using an environmental chamber fitted into the FT Raman sample compartment. The equilibrium constants between the free and the hydrogen-bonded molecules were determined over this temperature range and the average enthalpy for hydrogen-bond formation was obtained (ΔH° = -3.35 ± 0.2 kJ mol-1).
