Abstract
BACKGROUND Humans spend much of the day in the postprandial state. However, most research and clinical guidelines on plasma lipids pertain to blood drawn after a 12-hour fast. We aimed to study the metabolic differences of apoB lipoproteins between the fasting and postprandial states. METHODS We investigated plasma apoB metabolism using stable isotope tracers in 12 adult volunteers under fasting and continuous postprandial conditions in a randomized crossover study. We determined the metabolism of apoB in multiple lipoprotein subfractions, including light and dense VLDLs (very-low-density lipoproteins), IDLs (intermediate-density lipoproteins), and light and dense LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) that do or do not contain apoE or apoC3. RESULTS A major feature of the postprandial state is 50% lower secretion rate of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and concurrent slowdown of their catabolism in circulation, as shown by 34% to 55% lower rate constants for the metabolic pathways of conversion by lipolysis from larger to smaller lipoproteins and direct clearance of lipoproteins from the circulation. In addition, the secretion pattern of apoB lipoprotein phenotypes was shifted from particles containing apoE and apoC3 in the fasting state to those without either protein in the postprandial state. CONCLUSIONS Overall, during the fasting state, hepatic apoB lipoprotein metabolism is activated, characterized by increased production, transport, and clearance. After food intake, endogenous apoB lipoprotein metabolism is globally reduced as appropriate to balance dietary input to maintain the supply of energy to peripheral tissues.

Schizophr Res 2023; 262:95-101.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia patients endure high risks of metabolic syndrome and related cardiovascular mortality. Evidence on comparing detective power among atherogenic indices of the metabolic syndrome in schizophrenia patients with antipsychotics treatment is still lacking. METHOD We recruited 128 schizophrenia patients and collected blood samples to determine plasma levels of fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Five components of metabolic syndrome were assessed. Atherogenic indices, such as atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), atherogenic coefficient (AC), Castelli's risk index-I (CRI-I) and Castelli's risk index-II (CRI-II), were calculated. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) and regression analysis were adopted to compare the detective power of each atherogenic index for metabolic syndrome. The optimal cutoff points using maximization of Youden's index and the positive likelihood ratios were calculated. RESULTS 51 (39.8 %) had metabolic syndrome. AIP (0.2 ± 0.2 vs. 0.6 ± 0.2), AC (2.5 ± 0.9 vs. 3.4 ± 0.9), CRI-I (3.5 ± 0.9 vs. 4.4 ± 0.9,) and CRI-II (2.1 ± 0.7 vs. 2.6 ± 0.7) were higher in the group with metabolic syndrome (all p < 0.001). AIP had the highest AUC (0.845, 95 % CI: 0.770, 0.920). The optimal cut-off point of AIP to predict metabolic syndrome was 0.4 with the corresponding sensitivity 83.7 %, specificity 80.3 %, and positive likelihood ratio 4.2. Regression analysis revealed that only AIP significantly correlated with the metabolic syndrome (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Among atherogenic indices, only AIP has superior discrimination for detecting metabolic syndrome in schizophrenia with antipsychotics treatment.

Plasma lipoprotein subclass variation in middle-aged and older adults: Sex-stratified distributions and associations with health status and cardiometabolic risk factors. J Clin Lipidol 2023; 17:677-687. [PMID: 37442713 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2023.06.004] [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: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating lipids and lipoproteins mediate cardiovascular risk, however routine plasma lipid biochemistry provides limited information on pro-atherogenic remnant particles. OBJECTIVE We analysed plasma lipoprotein subclasses including very low-density and intermediate-density lipoprotein (VLDL and IDL); and assessed their associations with health and cardiometabolic risk. METHODS From 1,976 community-dwelling adults aged 45-67 years, 114/1071 women (10.6%) and 153/905 men (16.9%) were categorised as very healthy. Fasting plasma lipoprotein profiles comprising 112 parameters were measured using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and associations with health status and cardiometabolic risk factors examined. RESULTS HDL cholesterol was higher, and IDL and VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides lower, in very healthy women compared to other women, and women compared to men. IDL and VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride were lower in very healthy men compared to other men. HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I were inversely, and IDL and VLDL cholesterol, apoB-100, and apoB-100/apoA-I ratio directly associated with body mass index (BMI) in women and men. In women, LDL, IDL and VLDL cholesterol increased with age. Women with diabetes and cardiovascular disease had higher cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and free cholesterol across IDL and VLDL fractions, with similar trends for men with diabetes. CONCLUSION Lipoprotein subclasses and density fractions, and their lipid and apolipoprotein constituents, are differentially distributed by sex, health status and BMI. Very healthy women and men are distinguished by favorable lipoprotein profiles, particularly lower concentrations of VLDL and IDL, providing reference intervals for comparison with general populations and adults with cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
Many molecular, physiological and behavioural processes display distinct 24-hour rhythms that are directed by the circadian system. The master clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus region of the hypothalamus, is synchronized or entrained by the light-dark cycle and, in turn, synchronizes clocks present in peripheral tissues and organs. Other environmental cues, most importantly feeding time, also synchronize peripheral clocks. In this way, the circadian system can prepare the body for predictable environmental changes such as the availability of nutrients during the normal feeding period. This Review summarizes existing knowledge about the diurnal regulation of gastrointestinal processes by circadian clocks present in the digestive tract and its accessory organs. The circadian control of gastrointestinal digestion, motility, hormones and barrier function as well as of the gut microbiota are discussed. An overview is given of the interplay between different circadian clocks in the digestive system that regulate glucose homeostasis and lipid and bile acid metabolism. Additionally, the bidirectional interaction between the master clock and peripheral clocks in the digestive system, encompassing different entraining factors, is described. Finally, the possible behavioural adjustments or pharmacological strategies for the prevention and treatment of the adverse effects of chronodisruption are outlined.

Abstract
This present research investigated variations in lipid profiles and important biomarkers of tissue damage in response to graded concentrations of alcohol administration in male Wistar rats. Group A (control) received distilled water while group B, C and D received 30%, 40% and 50% (v/v) alcohol respectively. Five rats each from groups A-D were sacrificed after day(s) 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 of administration. A significant increase was observed at day 28 for serum cholesterol by 79% (group B), 78% (group C) and 47% (group D) together with serum phospholipid 58% (group B), 50% (group C) and 92% (group D). Serum triacylglycerol increased by 71% (group B), 43% (group C) and 16% (group D) at day 21, while concentration of serum albumin decreased at day 28 by 40.9% (group B), 50.2% (group C), 53.3% (group D) respectively when compared with control (group A). Serum aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase specific activities, as well as creatinine and uric acid concentration increased in a concentration-dependent manner, following alcohol administration. Though most of these effects induced by alcohol were time- and concentration-dependent, 40% alcohol appear to be more stable, giving results consistent with alcohol-induced damages, with minimal mortality. This study therefore further validated dyslipidemia and imbalance in clinical biomarkers as hallmarks of tissue damage induced by excessive alcohol consumption with an insight on the time- and concentration-response relationship between alcohol consumption and its toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is an inherited abnormality of haemoglobin associated with reduced life expectancy. Patients' complications include dyslipideamia. This study was aimed at determining the artherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in sickle cell anaemia patients and compares the value to HbAA controls value. A high AIP is strongly predictive of elevated cardiovascular risk. METHODS A comparative study was conducted among SCA patients attending the haematology clinic, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and HbAA Phenotype controls. A total of 304 participants were recruited consisting of equal numbers of SCA and HbAA controls. Single lipid profiles were done; logarithms of triglycerides/high density lipoprotein were calculated to obtain AIP and lipid profile ratios established for all participants. RESULTS There were lower mean values of Total Cholesterol (TC), High Density Lipoprotein(HDL) and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) amongst SCD participants than controls and higher mean values of triglycerides (TG) and Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) in SCD p < 0.05. The AIP in SCD ranges from -0.62 to 1.32 while that of controls ranges from -0.56 to 0.61.The mean AIP were 0.14 ± 0.29 and -0.009 ± 0.26 in SCD and controls respectively. P value = 0.002. CONCLUSION AIP value is higher in sickle cell anaemia than controls, the former have lower mean values of TC, HDL and LDL and higher mean values of TG and VLDL.

Effects of immediate-release niacin and dietary fatty acids on acute insulin and lipid status in individuals with metabolic syndrome. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2018; 98:2194-2200. [PMID: 28960312 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.8704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2017] [Revised: 09/14/2017] [Accepted: 09/20/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The nature of dietary fats profoundly affects postprandial hypertriglyceridemia and glucose homeostasis. Niacin is a potent lipid-lowering agent. However, limited data exist on postprandial triglycerides and glycemic control following co-administration of high-fat meals with a single dose of niacin in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of the study was to explore whether a fat challenge containing predominantly saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) or MUFAs plus omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated (LCPUFAs) fatty acids together with a single dose of immediate-release niacin have a relevant role in postprandial insulin and lipid status in subjects with MetS. RESULTS In a randomized crossover within-subject design, 16 men with MetS were given a single dose of immediate-release niacin (2 g) and ∼15 cal kg-1 body weight meals containing either SFAs, MUFAs, MUFAs plus omega-3 LCPUFAs or no fat. At baseline and hourly over 6 h, plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, triglycerides, free fatty acids (FFAs), total cholesterol, and both high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were assessed. Co-administered with niacin, high-fat meals significantly increased the postprandial concentrations of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, triglycerides, FFAs and postprandial indices of β-cell function. However, postprandial indices of insulin sensitivity were significantly decreased. These effects were significantly attenuated with MUFAs or MUFAs plus omega-3 LCPUFAs when compared with SFAs. CONCLUSION In the setting of niacin co-administration and compared to dietary SFAs, MUFAs limit the postprandial insulin, triglyceride and FFA excursions, and improve postprandial glucose homeostasis in MetS. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Lipotest® is a standardized fat-rich meal designed for use as a test meal during a fat tolerance test (FTT) for the study of postprandial triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations. Herein we examined the precision and reproducibility of examination using Lipotest® on postprandial TAG levels. A total of 26 healthy consenting subjects were examined twice after 8–10 h fasting with an interval of approximately 1 week apart. Blood samples were collected at baseline and 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after consumption of the test meal for measurement of plasma total TAG levels. We examined agreement, precision, and accuracy between the two visits using the Altman plots and correlation coefficient. Reproducibility was tested using the coefficient of variation (CV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Moreover, the area under the curve (AUC) as a summary measure of the overall postprandial TAG levels was calculated. The agreement, precision (r ≥ 0.74, p < 0.001), and accuracy (≥0.99) between the measurements in plasma TAG during Lipotest® testing in the two visits were high. In terms of reproducibility, the values of CV were 15.59–23.83% while those of ICC were ≥0.75. The values of the AUCs in the visits were not different (p = 0.87). A single measurement of plasma TAG levels at 4 h after Lipotest® consumption depicted peak postprandial TAG concentration. A FTT using Lipotest® as a standardized meal has good precision and reproducibility for the study of postprandial TAG levels in healthy individuals. A single determination of plasma TAG concentration at 4 h after Lipotest® consumption captures peak postprandial TAG response.

Abstract
TAG depleted remnants of postprandial chylomicrons are a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Recent studies have demonstrated that in the fasted state, the majority of chylomicrons are small enough for transcytosis to arterial subendothelial space and accelerate atherogenesis. However, the size distribution of chylomicrons in the absorptive state is unclear. This study explored in normolipidaemic subjects the postprandial distribution of the chylomicron marker, apoB-48, in a TAG-rich lipoprotein plasma fraction (Svedberg flotation rate (Sf>400), in partially hydrolysed remnants (Sf 20-400) and in a TAG-deplete fraction (Sf<20), following ingestion of isoenergetic meals with either palm oil (PO), rice bran or coconut oil. Results from this study show that the majority of fasting chylomicrons are within the potentially pro-atherogenic Sf<20 fraction (70-75 %). Following the ingestion of test meals, chylomicronaemia was also principally distributed within the Sf<20 fraction. However, approximately 40 % of subjects demonstrated exaggerated postprandial lipaemia specifically in response to the SFA-rich PO meal, with a transient shift to more buoyant chylomicron fractions. The latter demonstrates that heterogeneity in the magnitude and duration of hyper-remnantaemia is dependent on both the nature of the meal fatty acids ingested and possible metabolic determinants that influence chylomicron metabolism. The study findings reiterate that fasting plasma TAG is a poor indicator of atherogenic chylomicron remnant homoeostasis and emphasises the merits of considering specifically, chylomicron remnant abundance and kinetics in the context of atherogenic risk. Few studies address the latter, despite the majority of life being spent in the postprandial and absorptive state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity-related dyslipidaemia comprises hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia, low HDL-cholesterol and normal to raised LDL-cholesterol levels. 40% of morbidly obese surgical patients have dyslipidaemia. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery has many beneficial metabolic effects, but the full impact on plasma lipids has not been clearly defined. METHODS A systematic review of electronic databases (Ovid; Medline; PubMed; Embase) between 1960 and March 2012 was performed using search terms including the following: obesity surgery, bariatric surgery, gastric bypass, cholesterol, lipids, triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids. A total of 2442 manuscripts were screened. Papers with paired plasma lipid levels around RYGB surgery were included. Exclusions included the following: editorials, dual publications, n < 10, resulting in 75 papers of relevance. A meta-analysis was performed of the effect of RYGB surgery upon plasma lipids at different time points up to 4 years following surgery, using a random effects model. RESULTS Paired data were available for 7815 subjects around RYGB surgery for morbid obesity with a baseline BMI 48 kg/m(2) (n = 2331). There was a reduction in plasma total cholesterol and LDL-C from 1 month up to 4 years post-RYGB (p < 0.00001, p < 0.00001). Following RYGB, HDL-C increased from 1 year onwards (p < 0.00001), and triglyceride levels were reduced postoperatively from 3 months up to 4 years (p < 0.00001). NEFA levels were increased at 1 month postoperatively (p = 0.003), but from 3 months onwards did not differ from preoperative levels (p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS RYGB surgery reverses the dyslipidaemia of obesity. These findings support the use of RYGB in the management of high cardiovascular risk lipid profiles in morbid obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) exhibit impaired lipoprotein metabolism and have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Although the risk is attributed primarily to the risk associated with individual components, it is also likely affected by other associated metabolic defects. Remnants of postprandial lipoproteins show potent atherogenicity in cell and animal models of insulin resistance and in pre-diabetic subjects with postprandial dyslipidemia. However, few studies have considered regulation of chylomicron remnant homeostasis in MetS per se. This study measured the plasma concentration in Caucasian men and women of small dense chylomicrons following fasting and explored associations with metabolic and anthropometric measures. METHODS A total of 215 Australian Caucasian participants (median age 62 years) were investigated. Of them, 40 participants were classified as having MetS. Apolipoprotein (apo) B-48, an exclusive marker of chylomicrons, metabolic markers and anthropometric measures were determined following an overnight fast. RESULTS The fasting apo B-48 concentration was 40 % higher in subjects with MetS than those without MetS. In all subjects, triglyceride (r = 0.445, P < 0.0005), non-HDL cholesterol (r = 0.28, P < 0.0005) and HDL cholesterol concentration (r = -0.272, P < 0.0005) were weakly associated with apo B-48 concentration. In subjects with MetS, the association of apo B-48 with triglyceride and non-HDL cholesterol was enhanced, but neither were robust markers of elevated apo B-48 in MetS (r = 0.618 and r = 0.595 respectively). There was no association between apo B-48 and HDL cholesterol in subjects with MetS. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a substantial accumulation of pro-atherogenic remnants in subjects with MetS. We have shown that in a Caucasian cohort, the fasting plasma concentration of triglyceride or HDL/non-HDL cholesterol serves as poor surrogate markers of atherogenic chylomicron remnants. These findings suggest that subjects with MetS exhibit a chronic defect in chylomicron metabolism that is likely to contribute to their increased CV risk.

Abstract
Cholesterol reduction has markedly reduced major cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and shown regression of atherosclerosis in some studies. However, CVD has for decades also been associated with increased levels of circulating triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. Whether this is due to a direct toxic effect of these lipoproteins on arteries or whether this is merely an association is unresolved. More recent genetic analyses have linked genes that modulate TG metabolism with CVD. Moreover, analyses of subgroups of hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) subjects in clinical trials using fibric acid drugs have been interpreted as evidence that TG reduction reduces CVD events. This review will focus on how HTG might cause CVD, whether TG reduction makes a difference, what pathophysiological defects cause HTG, and what options are available for treatment.

Abstract
The circadian timing system adapts most of the mammalian physiology and behaviour to the 24 h light/dark cycle. This temporal coordination relies on endogenous circadian clocks present in virtually all tissues and organs and implicated in the regulation of key cellular processes including metabolism, transport and secretion. Environmental or genetic disruption of the circadian coordination causes metabolic imbalance leading for instance to fatty liver, dyslipidaemia and obesity, thereby contributing to the development of a metabolic syndrome state. In the liver, a key metabolic organ, the rhythmic regulation of lipid biosynthesis is known, yet the molecular mechanisms through which the circadian clock controls lipogenesis, in particular, that of phospholipids, is poorly characterised. In this study, we show that the wild-type mice display a rhythmic accumulation of hepatic phosphatidylcholine with a peak at ZT 22-0 while clock-deficient Bmal1(-/-) mice show elevated phosphatidylcholine levels in the liver associated with an atherogenic lipoprotein profile. Profiling of the mRNA expression of enzymes from the Kennedy and phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase pathways which control the production of hepatic phosphatidylcholine revealed a robust circadian pattern for Chkα while other mRNA showed low amplitude (Chkβ and Pemt) or no rhythm (Cctα and Chpt1). Chkα mRNA expression was increased and no longer rhythmic in the liver from clock-deficient Bmal1(-/-) mice. This change resulted in the upregulation of the CHKα protein in these animals. We further show that the robust circadian expression of Chkα is restricted to the liver and adrenal glands. Analysis of the Chkα gene promoter revealed the presence of a conserved response element for the core clock transcription factors REV-ERB and ROR. Consistent with the antiphasic phase relationship between Chkα and Rev-erbα expression, in cotransfection experiments using HepG2 cells we show that RORα4-dependent transactivation of this element is repressed by REV-ERBα· Correspondingly, Rev-erbα(-/-)mice displayed higher Chkα mRNA levels in liver at ZT 12. Collectively, these data establish that hepatic phosphatidylcholine is regulated by the circadian clock through a Bmal1-Rev-erbα-Chkα axis and suggest that an intact circadian timing system is important for the temporal coordination of phospholipid metabolism.

Abstract
Plasma levels of triacylglycerols and diacylglycerols, the lipoproteins that transport them, and proteins involved in their absorption from the intestinal lumen fluctuate in a circadian manner. These changes are likely controlled by clock genes expressed in the intestine that are probably synchronized by neuronal and humoral signals from the suprachiasmatic nuclei, which constitute a master clock entrained by light signals from the eyes and from the environment, e.g., food availability. Acute changes in circadian rhythms--e.g., due to nonsynchronous work schedules or a transcontinental flight--may trigger intestinal discomfort. Chronic disruptions in circadian control mechanisms may predispose the individual to irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and peptic ulcer disease. A more detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying temporal changes in intestinal activity might allow us to identify novel targets for developing therapeutic approaches to these disorders.

Abstract
Disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and transport are responsible for the development of a large spectrum of pathologies, ranging from cardiovascular diseases, to metabolic syndrome, even to tumour development. Recently, a deeper knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that control our biological clock and circadian rhythms has been achieved. From these studies it has clearly emerged how the molecular clock tightly regulates every aspect of our lives, including our metabolism. This review analyses the organisation and functioning of the circadian clock and its relevance in the regulation of physiological processes. We also describe metabolism and transport of lipids and lipoproteins as an essential aspect for our health, and we will focus on how the circadian clock and lipid metabolism are greatly interconnected. Finally, we discuss how a deeper knowledge of this relationship might be useful to improve the recent spread of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
The existence of an independent association between elevated triglyceride (TG) levels, cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality has been largely controversial. The main difficulty in isolating the effect of hypertriglyceridemia on CV risk is the fact that elevated triglyceride levels are commonly associated with concomitant changes in high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and other lipoproteins. As a result of this problem and in disregard of the real biological role of TG, its significance as a plausible therapeutic target was unfoundedly underestimated for many years. However, taking epidemiological data together, both moderate and severe hypertriglyceridaemia are associated with a substantially increased long term total mortality and CV risk. Plasma TG levels partially reflect the concentration of the triglyceride-carrying lipoproteins (TRL): very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), chylomicrons and their remnants. Furthermore, hypertriglyceridemia commonly leads to reduction in HDL and increase in atherogenic small dense LDL levels. TG may also stimulate atherogenesis by mechanisms, such excessive free fatty acids (FFA) release, production of proinflammatory cytokines, fibrinogen, coagulation factors and impairment of fibrinolysis. Genetic studies strongly support hypertriglyceridemia and high concentrations of TRL as causal risk factors for CV disease. The most common forms of hypertriglyceridemia are related to overweight and sedentary life style, which in turn lead to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome (MS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Intensive lifestyle therapy is the main initial treatment of hypertriglyceridemia. Statins are a cornerstone of the modern lipids-modifying therapy. If the primary goal is to lower TG levels, fibrates (bezafibrate and fenofibrate for monotherapy, and in combination with statin; gemfibrozil only for monotherapy) could be the preferable drugs. Also ezetimibe has mild positive effects in lowering TG. Initial experience with en ezetimibe/fibrates combination seems promising. The recently released IMPROVE-IT Trial is the first to prove that adding a non-statin drug (ezetimibe) to a statin lowers the risk of future CV events. In conclusion, the classical clinical paradigm of lipids-modifying treatment should be changed and high TG should be recognized as an important target for therapy in their own right. Hypertriglyceridemia should be treated.

Abstract
Background Majority of studies that focused on the influence of abdominal obesity on lipoprotein profile, were conducted in the fasting conditions. The effects of visceral fat accumulation on postprandial lipoprotein concentrations have not yet been studied in details. We therefore focused on the postprandial lipoprotein profile in otherwise healthy men and women with abdominal obesity and their comparison with the control group of volunteers with normal waist circumference. The concentration of lipoprotein classes and subclasses was measured before and 4 hours after a standard meal by linear polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results A statistically significant postprandial rise in triacylglycerol concentration occurred in all subjects. VLDL increased 4 hours after meal in all subjects except the women with normal waist circumference. The concentration of large IDL particles increased in both non-obese men and women. In women with abdominal obesity, however, it decreased, while in obese men there was no statistically significant change. The concentration of small and medium-sized IDL particles decreased in all volunteers. Analyzing subclasses changes of large, medium-sized and small LDL particles we saw no significant shift in their concentrations except the subclass of large LDL particles, which decreased in men. Concentrations of medium and small HDL particles decreased postprandially in all volunteers with normal waist circumference. However, they remained unchanged in subjects with abdominal obesity. Conclusions We observed significant postprandial changes of the lipoprotein profile, but the nature and extent of these changes depended on gender and presence of abdominal obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with abnormal fasting and postprandial lipids, which may link obesity with atherosclerosis. We explored fasting and postprandial lipids in morbidly obese patients treated with sleeve gastrectomy and in control subjects. METHODS After fasting for 12 h 15 morbidly obese patients (BMI 51.4±6.5 kg/m2, 43.7±12.6 years) received a standardized oral fat load before and 3 months after bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). Controls (n=9, BMI 23.1±1.4 kg/m²) were studied once. Plasma was obtained fasting and then postprandially every 2 h for 8 h. Triglycerides (TG), chylomicron-TG (CM-TG), VLDL/chylomicron-remnant (VLDL/CR)-TG, cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL/CR-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were isolated by ultracentrifugation at each time point. Postprandial values were expressed as area under the curve (AUC) and incremental area under the curve (iAUC). In addition, fasting glucose and insulin values and HOMA-IR-Index was measured (n=14). RESULTS Compared to controls morbidly obese patients had elevated TG and slightly altered postprandial lipids. Following surgery (weight loss 23.4 kg±6.2 kg; p<0.001) fasting TG (-19.1%; p=0.04), VLDL/CR-TG (-20.0%; p=0.05) decreased significantly, while fasting cholesterol, VLDL-, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol did not change. AUC and iAUC decreased significantly for VLDL/CR-TG (-20.4%, p=0.04 and -38.5%, p=0.04, respectively). Neither fasting nor postprandial changes correlated with the change in weight. In patients with preoperatively elevated TG (>150 mg/dl) a similar pattern was observed. Fasting insulin and HOMA were reduced significantly (-51.9%; p=0.004 and -47.9%; p=0.011). CONCLUSIONS Three months after sleeve gastrectomy fasting and postprandial lipoprotein metabolism and glucose metabolism is improved in morbidly obese patients. The potential mechanisms may relate to decreased caloric intake but also to hormonal changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to develop clinical practice guidelines on hypertriglyceridemia. PARTICIPANTS The Task Force included a chair selected by The Endocrine Society Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee (CGS), five additional experts in the field, and a methodologist. The authors received no corporate funding or remuneration. CONSENSUS PROCESS Consensus was guided by systematic reviews of evidence, e-mail discussion, conference calls, and one in-person meeting. The guidelines were reviewed and approved sequentially by The Endocrine Society's CGS and Clinical Affairs Core Committee, members responding to a web posting, and The Endocrine Society Council. At each stage, the Task Force incorporated changes in response to written comments. CONCLUSIONS The Task Force recommends that the diagnosis of hypertriglyceridemia be based on fasting levels, that mild and moderate hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides of 150-999 mg/dl) be diagnosed to aid in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk, and that severe and very severe hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides of > 1000 mg/dl) be considered a risk for pancreatitis. The Task Force also recommends that patients with hypertriglyceridemia be evaluated for secondary causes of hyperlipidemia and that subjects with primary hypertriglyceridemia be evaluated for family history of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease. The Task Force recommends that the treatment goal in patients with moderate hypertriglyceridemia be a non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in agreement with National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel guidelines. The initial treatment should be lifestyle therapy; a combination of diet modification and drug therapy may also be considered. In patients with severe or very severe hypertriglyceridemia, a fibrate should be used as a first-line agent.

Abstract
Serum lipid profile has now become almost a routine test. It is usually done in fasting state due to certain limitations in non-fasting serum sample. In the recent past efforts have been made to simplify blood sampling by replacing fasting lipid profile with non-fasting lipid profile. However, fasting specimen is preferred if cardiovascular risk assessment is based on total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol or non-HDL cholesterol. A lot has yet to be done in this area. Till then we have to believe in fasting lipid profile for assessment and management of cardiovascular disease.

Intravascular transfer contributes to postprandial increase in numbers of very-low-density hepatitis C virus particles. Gastroenterology 2010; 139:1774-83, 1783.e1-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The physical association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles with lipoproteins in plasma results in distribution of HCV in a broad range of buoyant densities. This association is thought to increase virion infectivity by mediating cell entry via lipoprotein receptors. We sought to determine if factors that affect triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism alter the density and dynamics of HCV particles in the plasma of patients with chronic HCV infection. METHODS Fasting patients (n = 10) consumed a high-fat milkshake; plasma was collected and fractionated by density gradients. HCV- RNA was measured in the very-low-density fraction (VLDF, d < 1.025 g/mL) before and at 7 serial time points postprandially. RESULTS The amount of HCV RNA in the VLDF (HCV(VLDF)) increased a mean of 26-fold, peaking 180 minutes after the meal (P < .01). Quantification of HCV RNA throughout the density gradient fractions revealed that HCV(VLDF) rapidly disappeared, rather than migrating into the adjacent density fraction. Immuno-affinity separation of the VLDF, using antibodies that recognize apolipoprotein B-100 and not apolipoprotein B-48, showed that HCV(VLDF) is composed of chylomicron- and VLDL-associated HCV particles; peaking 120 and 180 minutes after the meal, respectively. Plasma from fasting HCV-infected patients mixed with uninfected plasma increased the quantity of HCV(VLDF), compared with that mixed with phosphate-buffered saline, showing extracellular assembly of HCV(VLDF). CONCLUSIONS Dietary triglyceride alters the density and dynamics of HCV in plasma. The rapid clearance rate of HCV(VLDF) indicates that association with TRL is important for HCV infectivity. HCV particles, such as exchangeable apolipoproteins, appear to reassociate with TRLs in the vascular compartment.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) B-48 is the only specific marker of intestinal lipoproteins. We evaluated a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) standardized with recombinant apo B-48 to measure apo B-48 in plasma and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs, density <1.006 g/mL). Coefficients of variation were less than 2.5%. Assay values correlated well (r = 0.82, P < .001) with values obtained by gel scanning of TRLs (n = 75 samples); however, the gel scanning method yielded values that were about 50% lower than ELISA values. About 60% to 70% of apo B-48 was found in TRLs. In 12 healthy subjects, median fasting plasma apo B-48 levels were 0.51 mg/dL and were increased by 121% to 147% in the fed state. In 63 obese subjects, median fasting apo B-48 values were 0.82 mg/dL; and feeding resulted in almost no change in total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or total apo B values, whereas triglyceride, remnant lipoprotein cholesterol, and apo B-48 levels were significantly higher (P < .05; by +73%, +58%, and +106%), and direct low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and direct high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly lower (P < .001, by -13% and -20%) than fasting values. Relative to controls, 270 hyperlipidemic subjects had significantly higher (P < .001, +115%) fasting total apo B and higher apo B-48 values (P = .06, +37%). Our data indicate that the apo B-48 ELISA tested provides highly reproducible results and is excellent for research studies. Median apo B-48 values in healthy subjects are about 0.5 mg/dL and increase more than 100% in the fed state. Elevated levels are observed in obese and hyperlipidemic subjects.

Abstract
To determine the relative contribution of obesity and/or insulin resistance (IR) in the development of dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD), we investigated the transport of apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 in nonobese, nondiabetic, nonnephrotic CKD subjects and healthy controls (HC). We determined total VLDL, VLDL(1), VLDL(2), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), and LDL-apoB-100 using intravenous D3-leucine, GC-MS, and multicompartmental modeling. Plasma apoC-III and apoB-48 were immunoassayed. In this case control study, we report higher plasma triglyceride, IDL-, VLDL-, VLDL(1)-, and VLDL(2)-apoB-100 concentrations in CKD compared with HC (P < 0.05). This was associated with decreased fractional catabolic rates [FCRs (pools/day)] [IDL:CKD 3.4 (1.6) vs. HC 5.0 (3.2), P < 0.0001; VLDL:CKD 4.8 (5.2) vs. HC 7.8 (4.8), P = 0.038; VLDL(1):CKD 10.1 (8.5) vs. HC 29.5 (45.1), P = 0.007; VLDL(2):CKD 5.4 (4.6) vs. HC 10.4 (3.4), P = 0.001] with no difference in production rates. Plasma apoC-III and apoB-48 were significantly higher in CKD (P < 0.001) and both correlated with impaired FCRs of VLDL, VLDL(1), and VLDL(2) apoB-100 (P < 0.05). In CKD, apoC-III concentration was the only independent predictor of clearance defects in VLDL and its subfractions. Moderate CKD in the absence of central adiposity and IR is associated with mild hypertriglyceridemia due to delayed catabolism of triglyceride rich lipoproteins, IDL, and VLDL, without changes in production rate. Altered apoC-III metabolism may contribute to dyslipidemia in CKD, and this requires further investigation.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level currently is used as the major determinant of lipid- and lipoprotein-associated risk for ischemic cardiovascular disease, and varying levels have become the standard goals of lipid-altering treatment. The predictive value of the LDL-C cholesterol level, however, often is less than that provided by other variables such as non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), apolipoprotein B (apoB), and the number of LDL particles measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This article reviews studies that compare these different lipoprotein variables, describes advanced methodologies of lipoprotein testing, and suggests goals of treatment and clinical situations in which these tests might be ordered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The sensitivity of platelets to aggregating agents increases when low-density lipoprotein (LDL) binds to apolipoprotein E receptor 2' (apoER2'), triggering activation of p38MAPK and formation of thromboxane A2. LDL signaling is terminated by PECAM-1 through recruitment and activation of the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase PP2A, but platelets remain unresponsive to LDL when PECAM-1 activation disappears. We report a second mechanism that halts LDL signaling and in addition lowers platelet responsiveness to aggregating agents. METHODS AND RESULTS After a first stimulation with LDL, platelets remain unresponsive to LDL for 60 minutes, despite normal apoER2' activation by a second dose of LDL. A possible cause is persistent activation of the tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2, which may not only block a second activation of p38MAPK, PECAM-1, and PP2A by LDL but also seem to reduce aggregation by TRAP, collagen, and ADP. CONCLUSION These findings reveal that p38MAPK phosphorylation and platelet activation by LDL are suppressed by two mechanisms: (1) short activation of PECAM-1/PP2A, and (2) prolonged activation of SHP-1 and SHP-2. Activation of SHP-1 and SHP-2 is accompanied by reduced responsiveness to aggregating agents, which--if present in vivo--would make LDL an aggregation inhibitor during prolonged contact with platelets.

Abstract
Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin at maximal doses are both highly effective in lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels. Rosuvastatin has been shown to be more effective than atorvastatin in lowering LDL-C, small dense LDL-C and in raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and its subclasses. Intestinal lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein (apo) B-48 are also thought to be atherogenic particles. Our purpose in this study was to compare the effects of daily oral doses of atorvastatin 80 mg/day and rosuvastatin 40 mg/day over a 6-week period on serum apo B-48 (a marker of intestinal lipoproteins) and remnant lipoprotein cholesterol (RemL-C) levels (a marker of partially metabolized lipoproteins of both intestinal and liver origin), using novel direct assays in 270 hyperlipidemic men and women. Both atorvastatin and rosuvastatin caused significant (p<0.0001) and similar median decreases in TG (-33.0%, -27.6%), RemL-C (-58.7%, -61.5%), and apoB-48 (-37.5%, -32.1%) as compared to baseline. Our findings utilizing a specific immunoassay and a fairly large number of subjects extend prior studies indicating that statins significantly lower apolipoprotein B containing lipoproteins of both intestinal and liver origin.

Abstract
AIMS The atherogenicity of chylomicron remnants has been discussed. We examined whether serum apoB48 level is associated with the presence of carotid plaque in type 2 diabetic patients. METHOD Forty type 2 diabetic patients (21 males and 19 females, 52.8+/-11.8 years old; mean+/-S.D.) were divided into two groups by the presence or absence of carotid plaque. The diurnal change of serum apoB48 level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Fasting serum apoB48 level was higher in the subjects with carotid plaque than those without (6.5+/-3.8vs. 4.1+/-1.9 microg/ml, p=0.01). Age- and gender-adjusted analysis showed that the presence of carotid plaque was associated with fasting apoB48 (OR 1.43; 95% CI, 1.07-2.09, p=0.04) and triglyceride (OR 1.14; 95% CI, 1.02-1.32, p=0.04) levels. In normal LDL-cholesterol (<140 mg/dl) subjects, the presence of carotid plaque was associated with fasting apoB48 level (OR 2.16; 95% CI, 1.22-5.32, p=0.04), but not associated with fasting triglyceride level (OR 1.11; 95% CI, 0.99-1.30, p=0.13). CONCLUSIONS Serum apoB48 level was strongly associated with the presence of carotid plaque in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although guidelines recommend measuring fasting lipids for initial screening of adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD), recent studies suggest that nonfasting triglycerides may be superior to fasting. Whether fasting status alters associations of nontriglyceride lipids with CVD is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective study of 26 330 healthy women (19 983 fasting; 6347 nonfasting), associations of baseline lipids with incident CVD (754 fasting; 207 nonfasting) were examined over an 11-year follow-up. Except for triglycerides, lipid concentrations differed minimally (<5%) for fasting versus nonfasting. However, stronger associations with CVD were noted for fasting total cholesterol (adjusted fasting hazard ratio [HR], 1.22 per 1-SD increment; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.30; nonfasting HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.21), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (fasting HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.29; nonfasting HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.87 to 1.15), apolipoprotein B-100 (fasting HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.27 to 1.45; nonfasting HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.36), non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (fasting HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.38; nonfasting HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.31), and apolipoprotein B-100/A-1 ratio (fasting HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.30 to 1.48; nonfasting HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.27). Compared with fasting levels, nonfasting HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-1, and total/HDL cholesterol ratio had similar associations, and triglycerides had a stronger association, with CVD. Significant interactions were seen for LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B-100/A-1 ratio with fasting status (P for interaction=0.03 and <0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, total/HDL cholesterol ratio, and apolipoprotein A-1 predict CVD when measured nonfasting. By contrast, total, LDL, and non-HDL cholesterol, in addition to apolipoprotein B-100 and B-100/A-1 ratio, provide less useful CVD risk information when nonfasting, despite small changes in their concentrations. Guidelines for lipid screening may need to consider these differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ApoB-48 is a major apolipoprotein secreted by the small intestine and is the main constitutive apolipoprotein in chylomicrons (CM). In the past, presence of apoB-48 in human aortic atherosclerotic plaques has not been detected. METHODS A newly developed apoB-48 ELISA together with an HPLC fractionation technique, were applied to investigate the presence of apoB-48 (CM) in aortic atherosclerotic plaques. The atherosclerotic plaques were obtained from aortae of sudden cardiac death cases. Total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), apoB-100 and apoB-48 were measured in the aortic plaques extracts. RESULTS HPLC analysis of plaques extracts monitored by cholesterol revealed mainly particle sizes of CM and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) in the d>1.006 fractions. The plaques extracts were monitored by apoB-48 and apoB-100 ELISA. There were no TG peaks in any lipoprotein fraction extracted from the plaques except as free glycerol. ApoB-100 was detected in VLDL particles and in LDL sizes. In contrast, apoB-48 was detected in particles of CM, VLDL and LDL sizes. Further, in postmortem plasma, apo B-48 was detected in particles sizes of HDL or smaller and the Western blot analysis could not show any 250 kDa molecular weight (MW) protein in the plaque extracts, but smaller and broader MW staining were observed at 20-150 kDa. CONCLUSION Hitherto there has been lack of an appropriate assay to measure apoB-48 in plaques. Our investigations show that apoB-48 is present in atherosclerotic plaques with denatured or degraded structure. This is the first report describing presence of apoB-48 in human atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) B48 is a structural protein of chylomicrons. Fasting serum levels of apoB48 suggest the presence of small number of remnant chylomicron particles which are thought to be an atherogenic lipoprotein. In view of the high incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with diabetic nephropathy, we decided to measure the plasma apoB48 level in type 2 diabetics with diabetic nephropathy at various stages to ascertain how apoB48 relates to the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Patients with type 2 diabetes (n=105) were stratified into four groups: normo-albuminuria, micro-albuminuria, overt-proteinuria, and patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis. Age-matched-diabetic hypertensive patients (n=24) and non-diabetic ESRD patients on hemodialysis (n=47) were also enrolled. Plasma triglyceride (TG) levels rose as diabetic nephropathy progressed to overt-proteinuria. No further elevation in TG was observed in diabetic ESRD, however, and the TG levels were normal in non-diabetic ESRD. A similar pattern was observed for remnant-like particle-cholesterol (RLP-C). In contrast to the changes observed for TG and RLP-C, the levels of apoB48 increased steadily as the diabetic nephropathy progressed (control, 3.7; normo, 5.7; micro, 6.9; overt, 10.6 mg/l, respectively). ApoB48 peaked in the diabetic ESRD (19 mg/l) and was also markedly elevated in non-diabetic ESRD (10.1mg/l). The apoB48/TG and apoB48/total-apoB ratios were substantially elevated in both diabetic and non-diabetic ESRD. These results are the first to demonstrate remarkable elevations of plasma apoB48 in patients with both diabetic and non-diabetic ESRD. The remarkably high level of apoB48 in diabetic ESRD seems to be attributable to dyslipidemia induced by both diabetic nephropathy and ESRD.

Abstract
We aimed to identify mechanisms by which apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) could have an atherogenic role by simultaneously studying the metabolism of postprandial apoB-48 and apoB-100 lipoproteins. The kinetics of apoB-48 and apoB-100, each in four density subfractions of VLDL and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), were studied by stable isotope labeling in a constantly fed state with half-hourly administration of almond oil in five postmenopausal women. A non-steady-state, multicompartmental model was used. Despite a much lower production rate, VLDL and IDL apoB-48 shared a similar secretion pattern with apoB-100: both were directly secreted into all fractions with similar percentage mass distributions. Fractional catabolic rates (FCRs) of apoB-48 and apoB-100 were similar in VLDL and IDL. We identified a fast turnover compartment of light VLDL that had a residence time of <30 min for apoB-48 and apoB-100. Finally, a high secretion rate of apoB-48 was associated with a slow FCR of VLDL and IDL apoB-100. In conclusion, the intestine secretes a spectrum of apoB lipoproteins, similar to what the liver secretes, albeit with a much lower secretion rate. Once in plasma, intestinal and hepatic triglyceride-rich lipoproteins have similar rates of clearance and participate interactively in similar metabolic pathways, with high apoB-48 production inhibiting the clearance of apoB-100.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein B (apoB) plasma levels reflect the concentration of proatherogenic lipoproteins very low-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), whereas non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels reflect the concentration of cholesterol transported by these particles. METHODS AND RESULTS The aim of our study was to compare apoB, non-HDL-C, LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), and other lipid markers as predictors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in a nested case-control study among 18 225 participants in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Among men who were free of diagnosed cardiovascular disease at the time of blood collection, 266 had nonfatal myocardial infarction or fatal CHD during 6 years of follow-up. Through the use of risk set sampling, control subjects were selected at a 2:1 ratio and matched with regard to age, date of blood collection, and smoking status. After adjustment for matching factors, the relative risk of CHD in the highest quintile compared with the lowest quintile was 2.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.66 to 4.58) for non-HDL-C, 3.01 (95% CI, 1.81 to 5.00) for apoB, 1.81 (95% CI, 1.12 to 2.93) for LDL-C, 0.31 (95% CI, 0.18 to 0.52) for HDL-C, 2.41 (95% CI, 1.43 to 4.07) for triglycerides (all P trend <0.001), and 1.42 (95% CI, 0.86 to 2.32, P trend =0.19) for lipoprotein(a). When non-HDL-C and LDL-C were mutually adjusted, only non-HDL-C was predictive of CHD. When non-HDL-C and apoB were mutually adjusted, only apoB was predictive; the relative risk was 4.18 (95% CI, 1.30 to 13.49; P trend =0.02) for apoB compared with 0.70 (95% CI, 0.21 to 2.27; P trend =0.72) for non-HDL-C. Triglycerides added significant information to non-HDL-C but not to apoB for CHD risk prediction. CONCLUSIONS Although non-HDL-C and apoB were both strong predictors of CHD in this male cohort, more so than LDL-C, the findings support the concept that the plasma concentration of atherogenic lipoprotein particles measured by apoB is more predictive in development of CHD than the cholesterol carried by these particles, measured by non-HDL-C.
