- BACKGROUND: Niacin as an adjunct to statin treatment to reduce cardiovascular risk is questioned. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate interrelationships between the effects of niacin on mixed dyslipidemia and a spectrum of metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. METHODS: Obese, nondiabetic, hypertriglyceridemic males (n = 19) with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels received extended-release nicotinic acid for 8 weeks. Multiple biomarkers were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, enzymatic/absorptiometric, or multiplex biochip assays. Treatment effects were determined for each variable and a differential correlation network created on the basis of univariate correlations between baseline and response to niacin treatment for all pairs of variables. RESULTS: Extended-release niacin treatment favoured normalization of plasma lipid and apolipoprotein profile. Plasma markers of inflammation, hepatic function, cellular adhesion and proliferation, and macrophage phenotype were attenuated; however, insulin resistance increased. Differential network analysis revealed that changes in triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were closely linked; equally, niacin mediated reductions in total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) clustered together, as did homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, insulin, and interleukin-6 levels. Two clusters of inflammatory markers were identified, involving (1) intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and high-sensitive C-reactive protein and (2) soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors; and novel clusters involving matrix metallopeptidase 9 and apolipoprotein E, and adiponectin and cystatin C, respectively, were equally revealed. At lower stringency, lipid and insulin resistance clusters were linked; a C-reactive protein-centered cluster linked reduction in apolipoprotein Cu to intercellular adhesion molecule 1, gamma-glutamyltransferase, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors, and E-selectin. CONCLUSION: A niacin-mediated trend to normalize atherogenic mixed dyslipidemia was intimately linked to attenuation of biomarkers of inflammation, cell adhesion, hepatic dysfunction and cell proliferation, but to enhanced insulin resistance and plasma homocysteine elevation.

- BACKGROUND: Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor that improves glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by reducing renal glucose reabsorption.OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate the lipid effects of dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo in patients with T2DM with/without baseline elevated triglyceride and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.METHODS: This was a post hoc analysis of 10 phase 3, placebo-controlled studies of dapagliflozin 10 mg (N = 2237) or placebo (N = 2164) administered for 24 weeks in patients with T2DM. Patients with elevated triglyceride (>= 150 mg/dL [1.69 mmol/L]) and reduced HDL cholesterol levels (<40 mg/dL [1.04 mmol/L] in men; <50 mg/dL [1.29 mmol/L] in women) were included (group A). The reference group (group B) included patients who did not meet the defined lipid criteria.RESULTS: The effects of dapagliflozin on fasting lipid profiles were generally similar in the 2 lipid groups (ie, groups A and B) and, compared with placebo, were associated with minor increases in non-HDL cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and HDL cholesterol levels. The effects on triglyceride levels were inconsistent. The incidence of adverse events (AEs)/serious AEs, and AEs of genital infection, urinary tract infection, volume reduction, renal function, and hypoglycemia were similar in the 2 lipid groups.CONCLUSION: Patients with T2DM treated with dapagliflozin experienced minor changes in lipid levels; the changes were generally similar in the 2 lipid groups. The clinical significance of these changes in lipids is unclear, especially in view of the positive effects of dapagliflozin on other cardiovascular disease risk factors.

- There is clinical and observational evidence to suggest that saturated fatty acids (SFA) increase cardiovascular disease risk compared with polyunsaturated fatty acids from vegetable oils. Replacing SFA intake has thus been a public health target, but the role of individual SFA in metabolic disease is still incompletely understood. Observational data Indicate that all SFA may not necessarily be detrimental. The cholesterol-raising effect of SFA differs among individual SFA and possibly also with regard to cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors. The impact of dietary SFA on cardiovascular disease remains somewhat controversial, possibly due to such individual differences. In this article, we will also separately discuss the effects of dairy SFA, including biomarkers, as a means to elucidate these relationships between fatty acids, foodstuffs and cardiometabolic disease.

- Background: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) has been demonstrated to be essential for the in vivo function of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the major triglyceride (TG)-hydrolyzing enzyme involved in the intravascular lipolysis of TG-rich lipoproteins. Recently, loss-of-function mutations ofGPIHBP1 have been reported as the cause of type I hyperlipoproteinemia in several patients.Methods: Two unrelated patients were referred to our Lipid Units because of a severe hypertriglyceridemia and recurrent pancreatitis. We measured LPL activity in postheparin plasma and serum ApoCII and sequenced LPL, APOC2, and GPIHBP1.Results: The 2 patients exhibited very low LPL activity not associated with mutations in LPL gene or with ApoCII deficiency. The sequence of GPIHBP1 revealed 2 novel point mutations. One patient (proband 1) was found to be homozygous for a C>A transversion in exon 3 resulting in the conversion of threonine to lysine at position 80 (p.Thr80Lys). The other patient (proband 2) was found to be homozygous for a G>T transversion in the third base of the ATG translation initiation codon in exon 1, resulting in the conversion of methionine to isoleucine (p.Met1Ile).Conclusion: In conclusion, we have identified 2 novel GPIHBP1 missense mutations in 2 unrelated patients as the cause of their severe hypertriglyceridemia.

- BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events and cause specific mortality for coronary artery disease in obese patients. Lipoprotein biomarkers relating to low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), their subfractions, and macrophage cholesterol efflux have all been hypothesized to be of value in cardiovascular risk assessment. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a lifestyle intervention followed by bariatric surgery on the lipid profile of morbidly obese patients. METHODS: Thirty-four morbidly obese patients were evaluated before and after lifestyle changes and then 1 year after bariatric surgery. They were compared with 17 lean subjects. Several lipoprotein metrics, serum amyloid A (SAA), serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1), and macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) were assessed. RESULTS: Average weight loss after the lifestyle intervention was 10.5% and 1 year after bariatric surgery was 33.9%. The lifestyle intervention significantly decreased triglycerides (TGs; 28.7 mg/dL, P amp;lt; .05), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C; 32.3 mg/dL, P amp;lt; .0001), and apolipoprotein B (apoB; 62.9 mu g/mL, P amp;lt; .001). Bariatric surgery further reduced TGs (-36.7 mg/dL, P amp;lt; .05), increased HDL cholesterol (+12 mg/dL, P amp;lt; .0001), and reductions in LDL-C and apoB were sustained. Bariatric surgery reduced large, buoyant LDL (P amp;lt; .0001), but had no effect on the small, dense LDL.The large HDL subfractions increased (P amp;lt; .0001), but there was no effect on the smaller HDL sub fractions. The ratio for SAA/PON1 was reduced after the lifestyle intervention (P amp;lt; .01) and further reduced after bariatric surgery (P amp;lt; .0001). Neither the lifestyle intervention nor bariatric surgery had any effect on CEC. CONCLUSIONS: Lifestyle intervention followed by bariatric surgery in 34 morbidly obese patients showed favorable effects on TGs, LDL-C, and apoB. HDL cholesterol and apoA1 was increased, apoB/apoA1 ratio as well as SAA/PON1 ratio reduced, but bariatric surgery did not influence CEC. (C) 2017 National Lipid Association. All rights reserved.

- BACKGROUND: Treatment with omega-3 fatty acids and fenofibrates reduces serum triglyceride levels, but few studies have compared the effect of these agents on liver fat. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the EFFECT I trial (NCT02354976) was to determine the effects of free omega-3 carboxylic acids (OM-3CA) and fenofibrate on liver fat in overweight or obese individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and hypertriglyceridemia. METHODS: Seventy-eight patients were randomized to receive oral doses of 4 g OM-3CA (n = 25), 200 mg fenofibrate (n = 27), or placebo (n = 26) for 12 weeks in a double-blind, parallel-group study. Liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and volume, pancreas volume, and adipose tissue volumes were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Changes in liver PDFF at 12 weeks were not significantly different across treatment groups (relative changes from baseline: placebo, +4%; OM-3CA, -2%; and fenofibrate, +17%). The common PNPLA3 genetic polymorphism (I148M) did not significantly influence the effects of OM-3CA or fenofibrate on liver PDFF. Fenofibrate treatment significantly increased liver and pancreas volumes vs placebo treatment, and the changes in liver and pancreas volumes were positively correlated (rho 0.45, P = .02). Total liver fat volume increased significantly in patients using fenofibrate vs OM-3CA (+23% vs 3%, P = .04). Compared with OM-3CA, fenofibrate increased total liver fat and liver volume. Serum triglycerides decreased with OM-3CA (-26%, P = .02) and fenofibrate (-38%, P < .001) vs placebo. In contrast to OM-3CA, fenofibrate reduced plasma docosahexaenoic acid levels and increased plasma acetylcarnitine and butyrylcarnitine levels, estimated delta-9 desaturase activity and the concentration of urine F2-isoprostanes. CONCLUSIONS: OM-3CA and fenofibrate reduced serum triglycerides but did not reduce liver fat. Fenofibrate increased total liver volume and total liver fat volume vs OM-3CA, indicating a complex effect of fenofibrate on human hepatic lipid metabolism.

- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level is its major risk factor. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by elevated LDL-C since birth and subsequent premature CVD. There is a heterogeneity in the CVD onset in patients with FH. This is potentially due to the presence of other independent risk factors. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an LDL-like particle and represents a strong risk factor for CVD.Our objective was to understand the contribution of Lp(a) in the susceptibility to CVD in individuals with genetic diagnosis of FH.We measured Lp(a) levels in 2 independent and well-characterized genetic-FH cohorts: the FH-Gothenburg cohort (n=190) and the FH-CEGP Milan cohort (n=160). The genetic diagnosis was performed by targeted next-generation sequencing (FH-Gothenburg and part of the FH-CEGP Milan cohort), or by Sanger sequencing.We show that among individuals with genetic diagnosis of FH, those with previous CVD had higher Lp(a) levels. In addition, analyzing the response to the lipid-lowering therapies, we have also shown that statins had the same LDL-C-lowering effect irrespective of the type of FH-causative mutation. However, when we examined the lipid-lowering effect of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition by antibodies, we observed a trend in a better reduction of the LDL-C level in carriers of nonsense mutations.In conclusion, our results suggest that Lp(a) contributes to CVD onset in individuals with genetic diagnosis of FH. Our finding supports the importance to identify an efficacious therapy to lower Lp(a) in patients with FH to prevent CVD onset or recurrence.
