RESUMO

Type II diabetes mellitus has become one of the worlds main public health issues. High triglyceride concentrations and low HDL-C concentrations are the main in the plasma lipids found in DM2. Hipertriglyceridemia is but one of the factors that cause lipoprotein composition, which in turn can cause alterations in particle function. The antiatherogenic effect of HDL is due primarily to its ability to promote Reverse Cholesterol Transport, in which lipid transfer between lipoproteins is one step in the process. The objective of this study was to evaluate HDL particle size and its capacity to accept lipid constituents from other lipoproteins. The methodology utilized is based on the lipid transfer between with an artificial cholesterol-rich nanoemulsion labeled with 3H-tryglicerides (TG) and 14C-free cholesterol (FC) or 3H-cholesteryl ester (CE) and 14C-phospholipids (PL), structurally similar to LDL, used as a radioactive lipid donator. After LDE and other lipoprotein precipitation, the capacity of HDL to receive lipids is quantified by measuring the radioactivity present in the lipoprotein. Forty-five diabetic individuals (53±7) and 45 non-diabetic individual (55±8) as a control group were studied. The free cholesterol (FC) and phospholipids (PL) transfer rate to HDL was higher for the diabetic group when compared with control group (FC= 7.1±1.7 e 6.4±1.4%, p=0.0400; PL= 23.6±2.4 e 19.3±3.3%, p<0.0001, respectively). However, there was no transfer difference of the cholesteryl ester and triglycerides between the two study groups. No difference in the HDL particle size was observed in either group. There was found correlations between the lipid transfer rates and between the transfer rates and the lipoprotein profile of the diabetic individuals were also analyzed. The transfer of cholesteryl ester, triglycerides and free cholesterol correlated positively. There was also a positive correlation between the plasmatic concentration of total cholesterol and LDL-C with the triglyceride transfer and between the plasmatic concentration of apoAI with the cholesteryl ester and free cholesterol. This pattern of greater PL and FC transfer to HDL associated with DM2 can be a marker related to functional alterations in HDL that may contribute to atherogenic in those patients.
