This study assessed associations of diet quality (evaluated using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)), and the interaction of diet quality with diabetes, on total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A (apoA1), and apolipoprotein B (apoB) among American Indians (AIs).
After adjustment for age, gender, duration of diabetes, and BMI, multivariate analysis showed significant association of smoking (<i>p</i>=0.002) and HOMA-IR (<i>p</i>=0.003) with intraocular IL-6 levels, while intraocular VEGF and systemic Lp-A levels correlated significantly (<i>p</i>=0.032).
In this biracial cohort, elevated lipoprotein(a) levels in Caucasian individuals with diabetes or prediabetes were associated with further increased ASCVD risk.
An Ang(1-7) secreting Lactobacillus paracasei (LP) or LP-A has been described for regulation of diabetes and hypertension; however, we are the first to our knowledge to propose this paradigm as it relates to aging.
We therefore aimed to identify genetic variants associated selectively with lipoprotein(a) concentrations or with the number of KIV-2 repeats, to investigate which of these traits confer risk of diabetes.
We tested associations of tertiles of lipoprotein(a) concentration in plasma and two LPA single-nucleotide polymorphisms ([SNPs] rs10455872 and rs3798220) with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality by Cox regression analysis and with severity of disease by generalised linear modelling, with and without adjustment for age, sex, diabetes diagnosis, systolic blood pressure, BMI, smoking status, estimated glomerular filtration rate, LDL-cholesterol concentration, and use of lipid-lowering therapy.
On univariate analysis, reduced flow-mediated arterial dilation was related to total cholesterol, LDL, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], high blood pressure, older age, family history of premature vascular disease, larger vessel size, cigarette smoking, duration of diabetes and e4 allele ( p<0.05).
The risk profile of advanced atherogenesis further includes cigarette smoking, high lipoprotein(a), the factor V Leiden mutation, low antithrombin III, high fibrinogen, and diabetes.
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels were elevated in the three patients with HNF-4 alpha diabetes and in one patient with HNF-1 beta diabetes, and in a second patient with HNF-1 beta diabetes, Lp(a) was at the upper limit of normal.
In this study we assessed the relationship of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] with diabetes status and with measures of glucose and insulin in a population of Mexican Americans having a high prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
The associations previously found between lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels and atherosclerotic disorders, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and renal diseases suggest that Lp(a) may be involved in autoimmune reactions.
