Status of oxidative stress biomarkers and lecithin cholesterol acyltransferanse (LCAT) gene variant in subjects with low HDL-c concentration / Farah Hanis Sakri

Oxidative stress has been established as a key event in initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), F₂₋isoprostanes (F₂₋iPs), and malondialdehyde (MDA) are biomarkers reflecting the status of oxidative stress. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c)...

A total of 207 low HDL-c subjects and 215 normal controls were recruited for the biochemical aspect of the study. For genetic studies, 70 subjects with the lowest deciles of HDL-c and 140 normal controls were selected from the recruited samples. All exons of LCAT were PCR amplified and sequenced in both groups. For both studies, the groups were matched for age, gender, ethnicity, smoking status, diabetes and hypertension. It was found that oxidative stress biomarkers were higher in low HDL-c group compared to normal controls. There were negative correlations and association between HDL-c concentration and some of the biomarkers. HDL-c was not an independent predictor for the biomarkers. All exons sequencing of LCAT gene revealed no variant found in the subjects studied. In conclusion, HDL-c concentration is strongly associated and correlated with status of oxidative stress, which in part explains the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis associated with low HDL-c.
