Abstract
Genetic predisposition and dietary factors can impact cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Two important markers in assessing CVD risk are apolipoprotein (apo) B and apolipoprotein A1 plasma levels. These markers are measured as a ratio, with a high apoB:apoA1 ratio associated with increased CVD risk. Dietary and lifestyle recommendations are the cornerstone of managing primary and secondary CVD risk-mitigation strategies. One way to assess the impact of various dietary and lifestyle interventions on CVD risk is to evaluate the changes in CVD risk markers, such as apoB, apoA1, and apoB:apoA1 ratio. Various human studies have demonstrated the impact of dietary, macronutrient, and micronutrient interventions on apoB and apoA1 status. This review aims to elucidate dietary, macronutrient, micronutrient, and nutrigenetic considerations for impacting apoB and apoA1 levels. A low-carbohydrate, high-saturated-fat diet, low fiber intake, low vitamin and mineral intake, and zinc and iron deficiency are associated with an elevated apoB:apoA1 ratio. The Mediterranean diet, vegan diet, fermented dairy products, lower sugar intake, higher protein intake, higher polyunsaturated fat intake, and an omega-3-rich diet are associated with a decreased apoB:apoA1 ratio. Micronutrients associated with a decreased apoB:apoA1 ratio include vitamin D sufficiency, increased serum vitamin C, and magnesium. Variants in the APOE, APOA1, and FADS2 genes may alter the apoB:apoA1 ratio in response to various dietary interventions. When accounting for factors that may favorably alter the apoB:apoA1 ratio, researchers should consider a healthy diet sufficient in polyunsaturated fats, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and lower excess sugars.

Abstract
Niacin has been investigated for its potential impact on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. This meta-analysis aims to systematically evaluate the effects of niacin interventions on apo A1 and apo B levels, key regulators of lipoprotein metabolism and markers of cardiovascular risk. A comprehensive search of the literature was performed on five databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane library, from inception up to 15 July 2023. This search identified 1452 publications, from which twelve randomised controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. The intervention dosages ranged from 500 to 3000 mg/d, and the study durations spanned from 6 to 102·8 weeks. The niacin intervention demonstrated a significant reduction in apo B levels (weighted mean differences (WMD): -24·37 mg/dl, P = 0·01). Subgroup analyses indicated that intervention duration played a role, with trials of ≤ 16 weeks showing a greater reduction in apo B. Regarding apo A1, niacin significantly increased its levels (WMD: 8·23 mg/dl, P < 0·001). Subgroup analyses revealed that the beneficial effects of niacin on apo A1 were observed at a dosage of > 1500 mg/d (P < 0·001), and extended-release niacin was more effective compared with other forms (P < 0·001). According to the Begg's regression test, no publication bias was observed in this systematic review and meta-analysis. This meta-analysis highlights niacin's potential role in improving lipid profiles and cardiovascular health. Further well-designed clinical trials are needed to elucidate and confirm optimal dosages and durations of niacin interventions for influencing apo A1 and B.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency and dyslipidemia have substantial implications for human health globally. Vitamin D is essential for bone metabolism and immune modulation, and its insufficiency is linked to various chronic inflammatory conditions. Dyslipidemia, characterized by low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides, is also prevalent. Previous research has shown a connection between vitamin D deficiency and low HDL, but the precise mechanism by which vitamin D influences HDL production and its anti-inflammatory properties remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the proteomic profiles of individuals with and without vitamin D deficiency and dyslipidemia, specifically focusing on the effects of vitamin D on HDL production, its anti-inflammatory potential, and the molecular pathways associated with vitamin D deficiency and dyslipidemia, particularly inflammation and cancer pathways. By analyzing the proteomic profiles of 274 participants from the Qatar Biobank database, we identified 1301 proteins. Our findings indicated a decrease in HDL-associated apolipoproteins (ApoM and ApoD) in individuals with both dyslipidemia and vitamin D deficiency. Conversely, participants with these conditions exhibited increased expression of acute-phase proteins (SAA1 and SOD1), which are associated with inflammation. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed heightened inflammatory activity in individuals with vitamin D deficiency and dyslipidemia, with notable enrichments in pathways such as MAPK, JAK-STAT, Ras signaling, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, AGE-RAGE, ErbB signaling, and cancer pathways. Overall, cases of vitamin D deficiency showed enrichment in inflammation pathways, while individuals with both vitamin D deficiency and dyslipidemia demonstrated enhanced activation of cancer and inflammation pathways.

Abstract
According to published meta-analyses, vitamin D exerts different beneficial effects in preventing and controlling risk factors associated with noncommunicable chronic diseases; however, the results are still conflicting. The purpose of this umbrella meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) as components of the lipid profile. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were systematically searched for meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials. The umbrella meta-analysis followed the PRISMA guidelines. The random-effects model was employed to estimate the overall effect size (ES). Overall, 25 meta-analyses were included. In the standardized mean difference analysis, vitamin D significantly decreased TG (ES: -0.15; 95% CI: -0.23, -0.08; P ≤ 0.001) and TC levels (ES: -0.17; 95% CI: -0.23, -0.11; P ≤ 0.001) and increased HDL levels (ES: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.15; P = 0.025). In the weighted mean difference analysis, vitamin D significantly decreased only TG levels (ES: -4.63 mg/dL; 95% CI: -7.70, -1.57; P = 0.003). The present study supports that vitamin D supplementation could be considered a beneficial adjuvant therapy in managing lipid profile levels, especially in individuals with vitamin D deficiency. This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO as CRD42022306334.

Correlation between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentration, Monocyte-to-HDL Ratio and Acute Coronary Syndrome in Men with Chronic Coronary Syndrome-An Observational Study. Nutrients 2023; 15:4487.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death in European men. Atherosclerosis and its clinical consequence, chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), comprise two main elements: dysfunction of lipoprotein metabolism and an important inflammatory component that contributes to the development of complications, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Measures of both components are combined in a composite marker called monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR). Vitamin D was previously described to influence inflammation processes, and its deficiency influences CVD risk factors. This research describes the differences in MHR and total serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration between male patients with different diagnoses of CCS and the correlation between 25(OH)D and MHR in this group. Significant differences were observed between ACS and CCS patients in 25(OH)D and MHR-the highest HDL and serum 25(OH)D concentrations were observed in patients with CCS, whereas the highest value of MHR was observed in patients with STEMI. A significant correlation was observed between 25(OH)D, HDL, and MHR. Due to the significant but small nominal difference in MHR values between groups of patients diagnosed with ACS and CCS, and the possible influence of age and hyperlipidemia status on the differences in vitamin D levels in these groups, this subject requires further well-designed research. The suggested bidirectional relationship between MHR and 25(OH)D and the role of MHR as a predictor of vitamin D status in the body also needs to be verified.

Associations between serum vitamin D status and the cardiometabolic profile of patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Hormones (Athens) 2023; 22:477-490. [PMID: 37322405 PMCID: PMC10449975 DOI: 10.1007/s42000-023-00456-4] [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: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) frequently coexist. Low serum vitamin D has been positively associated with OSA presence and severity; however, data on its link to cardiometabolic features in patients with OSA remain scarce. We aimed to assess serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and explore its association with cardiometabolic parameters in OSA. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study among 262 patients (49 ± 9 years old, 73% men) with polysomnography-diagnosed OSA. Participants were evaluated in terms of anthropometric indices, lifestyle habits, blood pressure, biochemical, plasma inflammatory and urinary oxidative stress markers, and the presence of MetS. Serum 25(OH)D was assessed by chemiluminescence, and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) was defined as 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL. RESULTS Median (1st, 3rd quartile) serum 25(OH)D levels were 17.7 (13.4, 22.9) ng/mL and 63% of participants had VDD. Serum 25(OH)D correlated negatively with body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and urinary oxidized guanine species (oxG), and positively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (all P < 0.050). In logistic regression analysis, serum 25(OH)D was associated with lower odds of MetS [odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 0.94 (0.90-0.98)], after adjustment for age, sex, season of blood sampling, Mediterranean diet score, physical activity, smoking, apnea-hypopnea index, HOMA-IR, hsCRP, and oxG. In the same multivariate model, VDD was associated with ~ twofold greater odds of MetS [2.39 (1.15, 4.97)]. CONCLUSION VDD is highly prevalent and is associated with a detrimental cardiometabolic profile among patients with OSA.

Improved HDL Cholesterol through Vitamin D Status Correction Substantially Lowers 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score in Vitamin D-Deficient Arab Adults. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15030551. [PMID: 36771260 PMCID: PMC9921125 DOI: 10.3390/nu15030551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
This interventional study aimed to determine whether correcting vitamin D status in deficient Arab adults [25(OH)D <50 nmol/L] improves their 10-year risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk scores. Saudi adults (58 males 62 females) with baseline vitamin D deficiency (<50 nmol/L) were given 50,000 IU cholecalciferol weekly for 2 months, then twice a month, followed by daily 1000 IU until month 6. Fasting blood samples were collected pre- and post-intervention and assessed for glucose, lipids, and 25(OH)D levels. The predicted 10-year ASCVD risk scores were calculated at baseline and after intervention. At baseline, significantly higher 10-year ASCDV risk scores were observed in males than females (9% vs. 3%, p < 0.001). After 6 months, only 21% (25 out of 120) achieved 25(OH)D levels above optimal level (≥75 nmol/L). While modest improvements were seen in glucose and lipid profiles, only HDL cholesterol showed favorable significant changes in all participants, which translated to significantly improved 10-year ASCVD risk scores independent of whether they achieved optimum vitamin D status. Still, those who achieved optimal vitamin D levels had a modestly larger decrease in ASCVD risk scores than those with less optimal 25(OH)D levels (-23% versus -18%) and this improvement was slightly more pronounced in males (-26% versus -10%, or 16% improvement) than females (-47% versus -32%, or 15% improvement). In conclusion, vitamin D status correction significantly enhances HDL cholesterol which prospectively reduces 10-year ASCVD risk as vitamin D levels approach optimum status among adult Arabs with baseline vitamin D deficiency. This improvement appears to be slightly more apparent in males than females.
