The present study was designed to evaluate the potential role of plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity in the regulation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We studied 45 men with NIDDM and angiographically defined coronary artery disease ([CAD] DM+CAD+, aged 54.4 +/- 6.1 years, mean +/- SD); 47 nondiabetic men with similarly proven CAD (DM-CAD+, aged 54.9 +/- 6.6 years; 43 men with NIDDM but no CAD (DM+CAD-, aged 55.2 +/- 7.3 years); and 29 nondiabetic men without CAD (DM-CAD-, aged 53.2 +/- 5.3 years). The groups were matched for age and body mass index (BMI). Plasma CETP activity was determined by measuring the ability of the plasma sample to transfer esterified cholesterol from exogenous 14C-cholesteryl ester-labeled low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to exogenous HDL. Plasma lipoproteins were separated by ultracentrifugation. The concentration of HDL cholesterol was reduced in the DM+CAD+ group as compared with the DM-CAD- group (P < .01). This change was due to a decrease of both HDL2 cholesterol (P < .05) and HDL3 cholesterol (P < .001). There was a clear-cut decrease in HDL3 cholesterol in the DM-CAD+ (P < .01) and DM+CAD- (P < .05) groups as compared with the DM-CAD- group. Plasma CETP activity was lower in the DM+CAD- group (1.06 +/- 0.24 arbitrary units [AU]) than in the DM-CAD- group (1.19 +/- 0.26 AU, P < .05). In the DM+CAD+ group, the mean of CETP activities was 1.09 AU.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
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.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
