OBJECTIVE To investigate the change of the contents of serum HDL subclasses in obese subjects. METHODS Contents of serum HDL subclasses in healthy controls(n = 64) and obese subjects(n = 58) were determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis associated with immunodetection method. RESULTS The pre-beta 1 HDL, HDL3c and HDL3b contents increased significantly (P < 0.001) and the HDL2b content decreased significantly (P < 0.001) in obese subjects as compared with those in healthy controls. In male obese subjects, the pre-beta 1 HDL and HDL3c levels were significantly higher(P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) and HDL2b level was significantly lower(P < 0.05), compared with those in female obese subjects. In male control subjects, the level of pre-beta 1 HDL was significantly higher than that in female subjects. In obese subjects, the concentrations of BMI and serum TG had positive correlation with those of pre-beta 1 HDL(r = 0.382, P < 0.001), HDL3c(r = 0.232, P < 0.05) and HDL3b(r = 0.294, P < 0.01) and negative correlation with that of HDL2b(r = -0.304, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The particle size of HDL in obese subjects showed a general shift toward smaller size, which indicated that the maturation of HDL could be abnormal in obese subjects. The particle size of HDL was found to be smaller in both obese and control male subjects than in female subjects, suggesting that sex seems to be related to the contents of serum HDL subclasses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
