Abstract Context: Hypercatabolism of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) apolipoprotein (apo) A-I results in low plasma apoA-I concentration. The mechanisms regulating apoA-I catabolism may relate to alterations in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) metabolism and plasma adiponectin and serum amyloid A protein (SAA) concentrations. Objective: We examined the associations between the fractional catabolic rate (FCR) of HDL-apoA-I and VLDL kinetics, plasma adiponectin, and SAA concentrations. Study Design: The kinetics of HDL-apoA-I and VLDL-apoB were measured in 50 obese and 37 nonobese men using stable isotopic techniques. Results: In the obese group, HDL-apoA-I FCR was positively correlated with insulin, homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) score, triglycerides, VLDL-apoB, and VLDL-apoB production rate (PR). In the nonobese group, HDL-apoA-I FCR was positively correlated with triglycerides, apoC-III, VLDL-apoB, and VLDL-apoB PR and negatively correlated with plasma adiponectin. Plasma SAA was not associated with HDL-apoA-I FCR in either group. In multiple regression analyses, VLDL-apoB PR and HOMA-IR score, and VLDL-apoB PR and adiponectin were independently predictive of HDL-apoA-I FCR in the obese and nonobese groups, respectively. HDL-apoA-I FCR was positively and strongly associated with HDL-apoA-I PR in both groups. Conclusions: Variation in VLDL-apoB production, and hence plasma triglyceride concentrations, exerts a major effect on the catabolism of HDL-apoA-I. Insulin resistance and adiponectin may also contribute to the variation in HDL-apoA-I catabolism in obese and nonobese subjects, respectively. We also hypothesize that apoA-I PR determines a steady-state, lowered plasma of apoA-I, which may reflect a compensatory response to a primary defect in the catabolism of HDL-apoA-I due to altered VLDL metabolism.

The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) increases after menopause and may be due to changes in the plasma lipid-lipoprotein levels that occur following menopausal transition. Physiological estrogen withdrawal during menopause plays a major role in abnormal lipid metabolism such as elevated low-density lipoprotein concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between dyslipidemia and the causative factors of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. In this cross-sectional study, 290 postmenopausal Sudanese women were included. Lipid profiles were measured by spectrophotometer, estrogen hormone determined by ELISA, insulin resistance determined by HOMA-2 calculator and lipid accumulation product was calculated by the following equation (waist circumference in cm X triglyceride concentration in mM). The results revealed that total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein levels and very low-density lipoprotein levels were significantly higher in the postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome (MS) in comparison to those without the MS. Elevated total cholesterol levels were seen in 51.7 %, elevated triglycerides were seen in 49.7% and elevated low-density lipoprotein levels were seen in 29.3% whereas reduced high density lipoprotein levels were seen in 16.89% of the postmenopausal women. Total cholesterol, triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein values showed a significant positive correlation with insulin resistance and lipid accumulation and a significant negative correlation with the estrogen hormone level. In addition, high density lipoproteins showed a significant negative correlation with lipid accumulation levels.
