The contribution from lipoproteins, blood pressure, albuminuria and demographic variables to coronary heart disease in 90 adult subjects with and 172 without Type 1 diabetes mellitus was examined in order to investigate whether risk factors were of equivalent importance in diabetic and non-diabetic coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease (CHD) was present in roughly 25% of subjects in each group. In Type 1 diabetes those with CHD had significantly higher levels of systolic blood pressure, albumin excretion, serum creatinine, triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol and C-peptide, and reductions in serum concentrations of HDL and HDL2 cholesterol, in comparison to those without. However, the prevalence of smokers, and concentrations of Lp(a), ApoB and fibrinogen were comparable. Blood pressure and HDL cholesterol were higher in the CHD group with Type 1 diabetes in comparison to the nondiabetic group with CHD, although LDL concentrations and the prevalence of Lp(a) concentrations > 200 mg/l were lower. Logistic regression analysis revealed the strongest independent predictors of CHD in Type 1 diabetes were serum triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, age, serum LDL cholesterol, and the daily insulin dosage, whereas in the non-diabetic control group HDL2 cholesterol, Lp(a), ApoA1 and ApoB, total serum cholesterol and body mass index were additional predictors. CHD in Type 1 diabetes appears to be most closely associated with increasing age and levels of blood pressure and total serum lipids. Apolipoproteins and albuminuria did not seem to be important independent predictors of CHD in Type 1 diabetes, whereas the former were more clearly associated with CHD in non-diabetic controls.

Normolipidemic patients of both sexes with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have the same pervasive changes in lipoprotein surface and core lipid composition. The disproportionate increase observed in their lipoprotein free (unesterified) cholesterol relative to the predominant surface phospholipid lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) is reflected by elevation of the FC-L ratio in their whole plasma, VLDL, HDL2, and HDL3. As a possible consequence of this qualitative disturbance, cholesteryl ester transfer is pathologically increased and the mass of cholesteryl ester transferred from HDL to VLDL + LDL is significantly greater in IDDM patients than in control subjects at 1, 2, and 4 hr (P less than 0.001). Consistent with accelerated CET in vivo, the TG-CE core lipid ratio was decreased in VLDL from six subjects (IDDM 9.5 +/- 0.8 vs. control 12.9 +/- 3.4; P less than 0.01) and increased in their HDL (diabetic 0.55 +/- 0.11 vs. control 0.42 +/- 0.04: P less than 0.025). These abnormalities in lipoprotein composition and CET do not correlate with glycemic control and persist after intensive management with s.c. insulin. They may be related to the peripheral hyperinsulinemia that is an unavoidable consequence of conventional s.c. insulin administration because preliminary studies indicate that these disturbances in lipoprotein composition and function are reversed when systemic insulin levels are lowered and insulin is delivered into the portal circulation from an i.p. catheter connected to an implanted programmable s.c. insulin pump.

The effects of a sustained-release preparation of bezafibrate (Bezalip Mono) 400 mg once daily and placebo administered for 3 months were compared in 36 patients with stable type 1 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia. There was a significant decrease in fasting glucose levels with bezafibrate, but not in glycosylated hemoglobin. The serum cholesterol concentration decreased on bezafibrate [from 7.1 +/- 0.2 (mean +/- SEM) to 6.3 +/- 0.3 mmol/L; p less than 0.05] predominantly due to a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol [from 4.8 +/- 0.3 to 4.2 +/- 0.3 mmol/L; p less than 0.05. There was also a decrease in fasting serum triglycerides with bezafibrate [1.82 to 1.26 mmol/L (geometric mean)] and in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol. Plasma fibrinogen decreased significantly with bezafibrate (from 4.1 +/- 0.2 to 2.9 +/- 0.2 g/L; p less than 0.001). Serum apolipoproteins B and A showed no statistically significant changes. Overall, there was no change in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, in patients who were initially hypertriglyceridemic, there was a significant increase in the cholesterol content of total HDL and the HDL2 subfraction (both p less than 0.05). It is concluded that in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia, bezafibrate is effective in lowering both serum VLDL and LDL. In addition, it has a potentially important action in decreasing plasma fibrinogen levels.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Max EPA (a commercially available fish oil preparation) on serum cholesterol lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) men with dosages that were likely to be acceptable to patients. Twenty-two male IDDM patients aged 20-41 yr, 6 of whom had retinopathy, were recruited from the Royal Perth Hospital diabetic clinic. After screening, subjects were divided into three groups. Six of the subjects without retinopathy were randomly selected and allocated to a control group. The remaining 16 patients (10 without and 6 with retinopathy) received a fish oil supplement. All subjects were advised to maintain their usual dietary patterns. Sixteen patients, including the 6 with retinopathy, were instructed to take 15 Max EPA fish oil capsules/day with meals. Patients in the control group did not take Max EPA. Three weeks of Max EPA supplementation without other dietary modification led to a significant rise in total cholesterol (P less than 0.01), which could be accounted for by increases in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The increase in HDL cholesterol was explained by a 33% rise (P less than 0.001) in its HDL2 subclass. Changes in apolipoproteins were examined and showed that the level of apolipoprotein A-I increased after ingestion of fish oil and correlated significantly (P less than 0.05) with the rise in HDL cholesterol.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We studied the association of obesity with lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in 92 patients (49 men, 43 women) with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM), in 305 patients (152 men, 153 women) with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM), and in 122 nondiabetic control subjects (65 men, 57 women). Obesity (body mass index, BMI) was associated with abnormal lipid and lipoprotein levels only in the presence of diabetes, and lipid and lipoprotein changes were substantially more abnormal in patients with NIDDM than in patients with IDDM. In men and women with NIDDM, obesity was associated with low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and HDL2 cholesterol and high total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride concentrations. In men with IDDM, obesity was related only to low HDL and HDL2 cholesterol and in women with IDDM to low HDL3 cholesterol. BMI and diabetes status had a statistically significant interaction (analysis of variance) with respect to HDL and HDL2 cholesterol and total and VLDL triglycerides, indicating that the effects of obesity on lipids and lipoproteins were more severe in patients with diabetes than in nondiabetic subjects. In conclusion, obesity and diabetes status have an unfavorable interaction that results in multiple pathologic lipid and lipoprotein changes, particularly in NIDDM.

Patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus who develop proteinuria may die prematurely, whereas those who do not develop this complication have a comparatively normal life span. The excess mortality in diabetics with proteinuria is from cardiovascular as well as renal disease, but the reason is unclear. Risk factors for vascular disease were therefore assessed in 22 insulin dependent diabetics with proteinuria, but not renal failure, who were matched for sex, age, duration of diabetes, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1) values with a similar number who had normal urinary albumin excretion rates. Macrovascular disease (ischaemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease) was present in 10 patients with proteinuria but in only three with normal albumin excretion rates, and proliferative retinopathy was detected in 11 and four patients in the two groups. There was no significant excess of smokers in the group with proteinuria. Blood pressure was, however, higher in the patients with proteinuria--mean systolic pressure 161 (SD 18) mm Hg compared with 135 (19) mm Hg (95% confidence interval of difference between means 15 to 38 mm Hg); mean diastolic pressure 90 (SD 12) mm Hg compared with 79 (15) mm Hg (confidence interval 3 to 19 mm Hg). The concentration of serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol isolated by precipitation was lower in the patients with proteinuria (confidence interval 0.02 to 0.41 mmol/l). Their concentration of HDL2 cholesterol isolated by ultracentrifugation was also decreased (confidence interval 0.02 to 0.40 mmol/l), whereas HDL3 cholesterol tended to be increased (confidence interval -0.01 to 0.23 mmol/l). There was also a trend for serum cholesterol concentrations to be higher in the presence of proteinuria (confidence interval -0.39 to 1.20 mmol/l). The aggregation of risk factors for atherosclerosis in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus complicated by proteinuria helps to explain the increased prevalence of ischaemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease reported in these patients. Early renal disease in insulin dependent diabetes may have an important role in hypertension and altered lipoprotein metabolism.

Coronary heart disease in insulin-dependent (IDDM) and in non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) is associated with lipid and lipoprotein changes favouring atherosclerosis. Whether lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities are associated also with peripheral vascular disease in both types of diabetes is largely unknown. Therefore, we studied lipid and lipoprotein levels and their association with claudication in a representative sample of diabetic and non-diabetic subjects in East Finland. Altogether 87 subjects had IDDM (43 men, 44 women), 264 subjects NIDDM (126 men, 138 women) and 120 subjects were non-diabetic controls (63 men, 57 women). Patients with IDDM had an increased level of HDL and HDL2-cholesterol and patients with NIDDM a decreased level of HDL and HDL2-cholesterol and an increased level of total, LDL and VLDL triglycerides than did non-diabetic subjects. Analyses in both types of diabetes by claudication status revealed that total and LDL-cholesterol and total and VLDL triglycerides tended to be higher and HDL and HDL2-cholesterol lower in those having claudication as compared to those without a claudication symptom. Similarly, total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio were also more atherogenic in patients with claudication than in those without claudication. In conclusion, our results indicate that in both types of diabetes peripheral vascular disease is associated with lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities favouring atherosclerosis.

Serum concentration of apoprotein A, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and HDL-phospholipids has been studied in thirteen consecutive episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis. In three patients with type I diabetes mellitus HDL2 and HDL3 subfractions were also measured. Patients with type I diabetes showed greatly decreased HDL-cholesterol concentration on admission which increased into the normal range after insulin treatment, while HDL-phospholipids decreased during treatment and apoprotein A remained almost unmodified. In three patients with type I diabetes a virtual absence of HDL2-cholesterol subfraction was observed, which rose to normal values during recovery. Conversely, in type II diabetes mellitus HDL-cholesterol was slightly reduced on admission, and tended to decrease during recovery. These findings imply the existence of abnormalities in the qualitative composition of HDL, and indicate that HDL-cholesterol can fluctuate much more rapidly than previously thought.

A reduction in total plasma cholesterol concentration has been reported in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) pregnant women in early gestation. To determine if this reduction extends throughout gestation and which lipoprotein fractions may be responsible, we measured plasma triglyceride, cholesterol (C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and HDL2 and HDL3-C subfractions between 6 and 36 weeks' gestation in normal and IDDM women. Total plasma C was significantly lower in IDDM pregnant subjects between 20 and 36 weeks' gestation as compared to nondiabetic controls, while plasma triglyceride concentrations were not significantly different in this interval. Very low and low density lipoprotein (VLDL, LDL) C concentrations were not statistically significantly different from controls at any of the times studied, while HDL-C was lower throughout diabetic pregnancy as compared to controls, significantly so between 20 and 36 weeks' gestation. The lower HDL-C in IDDM women was associated with a significantly lower HDL3-C level. Plasma apoprotein A-I and A-II concentrations, markers of the HDL2 and HDL3 subclasses, respectively, were measured to corroborate the HDL subfraction changes. Apo A-I and A-II increased significantly between 12 and 28 weeks' gestation in control but not in diabetic pregnant subjects, consistent with a higher HDL3 in normal than in diabetic pregnant subjects. It appears that plasma triglyceride, VLDL and LDL-C, and HDL2-C concentrations are similar in IDDM and normal pregnancy, while total-C, HDL-C and HDL3-C and its associated apoproteins are lower than in normal subjects in late gestation. The mechanism of these changes and their significance for fetal growth and development deserve further study.

Patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in good metabolic control usually have normal plasma lipid levels yet they have an increased incidence of vascular complications. Abnormalities in the distribution and composition of lipoprotein subfractions might in part be responsible for the macroangiopathy seen in type 1 diabetes mellitus. The plasma lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins were studied in 9 type 1 diabetic patients during conventional insulin therapy and in 14 healthy controls. Plasma lipoproteins were analysed by ultracentrifugation in a zonal rotor to evaluate their concentrations and flotation properties and for compositional analysis. In diabetic patients the mean glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was 9.44 +/- 1.02% and the plasma lipid concentrations were not significantly different from healthy controls. The very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) subclass cholesterol concentrations were no different in diabetic patients and control subjects, but the VLDL cholesterol/triglyceride ratio was significantly lower in diabetic patients than in control subjects (0.43 +/- 0.05 vs 0.85 +/- 0.14; p < 0.05). The flotation rate LDL2, the major component of low density lipoprotein (LDL) was lower in the diabetic patients compared with the control subjects. The cholesterol concentrations of intermediate density lipoprotein and LDL3, the minor component of LDL, were significantly higher (0.17 +/- 0.03 and 0.83 +/- 0.14 mmol/l respectively) in diabetic patients than in control subjects (0.05 +/- 0.02 and 0.24 +/- 0.08 mmol/l). The flotation properties and cholesterol concentrations of the high density lipoprotein (HDL) subclass, and the protein-lipid composition of LDL2, HDL2 and HDL3, were no different in diabetic patients and control subjects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
