Objectives
To examine the association between the fractional esterification rate of cholesterol (C) in low density lipoprotein- and very low density lipoprotein-depleted plasma (FERHDL) and coronary artery disease (CAD) and the influence of serum HDL-C levels.
Background
The function of HDL in reverse cholesterol transport is involved in the antiatherogenic action of HDL, and FERHDL is a newly established quantitative measure of HDL function in vivo.
Methods
Cases (n = 185, F/M: 43/142) and controls (n = 74, F/M:27/47) were defined as subjects with/without angiographically proven CAD, respectively.
Results
The cases had significantly (p < 0.05) higher FERHDL values (13.2 ± 0.3 %/h vs. 12.1 ± 0.5 %/h) and lower HDL-C levels (39.0 ± 1.0 mg/dL vs. 46.8 ± 1.4 mg/dL) than the controls. The associations of FERHDL and HDL-C with CAD were linear and significant (p < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the association of FERHDL with CAD varied with the HDL-C level: significant for the low HDL-C tertile (chi-square = 6.20, p < 0.05) but not significant for the middle and high HDL-C tertiles (chi-square = 0.08 and 0.03, n.s.). The risk of CAD, relative to that in patients with low FERHDL and high HDL-C, was higher in patients with low FERHDL and low HDL-C (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.37 [1.124.97], p < 0.05) and was highest in patients with high FERHDL and low HDL-C (3.85 [1.848.06], p < 0.01).
Conclusions
The functional assay of HDL (FERHDL) is an independent risk factor for CAD. The combination of FERHDL and HDL-C could be a potent indicator for CAD, and may reflect a potential mechanism of atherosclerosis.
