Apolipoproteins AI, AII and HDL phospholipids but not APO-B are risk indicators for occlusive cerebrovascular disease. 1986

G M Kostner, and E Marth, and K P Pfeiffer, and H Wege

A variety of lipids, lipoprotein (Lp) lipids and APO-Lp were measured in 72 patients of both sexes suffering from cerebrovascular arteriopathy and compared with a control group matched for age and sex. The best discriminators by univariate analysis were serum concentrations of APO-AI, followed by APO-AII, high density lipoprotein phospholipids and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). Low density lipoprotein cholesterol and serum APO-B values were lower in the patients than in the controls. With APO-AI only, patients and controls could be classified with 88-91% certainty. By combination of some of the variables which were selected by a stepwise discriminant analysis, several models were calculated resulting in 93-97% segregation of patients from controls. By multivariate analysis, APO-AI, APO-AII, HDL-C, and triglycerides in combination with the blood pressure or the body weight index were independent variables (in a mathematical sense). By comparing the present data with published results of previous studies it is concluded that cerebral atherosclerosis differs from other forms of atherosclerosis by several major risk indicators.

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
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D002537 Intracranial Arteriosclerosis Vascular diseases characterized by thickening and hardening of the walls of ARTERIES inside the SKULL. There are three subtypes: (1) atherosclerosis with fatty deposits in the ARTERIAL INTIMA; (2) Monckeberg's sclerosis with calcium deposits in the media and (3) arteriolosclerosis involving the small caliber arteries. Clinical signs include HEADACHE; CONFUSION; transient blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX); speech impairment; and HEMIPARESIS.
