AbstractRecent studies have suggested that hypercholesterolemia is associated with endothelial dysfunction. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia is mainly characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, low high density lipoprotein, and a preponderance of small dense low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. We have examined the relationships among LDL subfractions, the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation in vitro, and endothelial function in type 2 diabetes mellitus. LDL subfractions were measured by density gradient ultracentrifugation. The susceptibility of LDL to oxidation was determined by measuring the kinetics of conjugated dienes formation during copper-mediated oxidation of LDL. Endothelium-dependent and independent vasodilation of the brachial artery were assessed by high resolution vascular ultrasound. Diabetic patients had a higher concentration of small dense LDL-III than matched controls (P <0.01). The lag phase of conjugated dienes formation was shorter in the diabetic patients (P < 0.05), and the rate of LDL oxidation was faster (P < 0.05). Both endothelium-dependent (P < 0.01) and independent dilation of the brachial artery (P < 0.01) were impaired in the diabetic patients. On multivariate analysis, the rate of oxidation and LDL-III concentration accounted for 12% and 6%, respectively, of the variation in endothelium-dependent vasodilation (adjusted r 2 = 0.18; P < 0.05), whereas LDL-III concentration and the maximum amount of conjugated dienes formed accounted for 27% and 5%, respectively, of the variation in endothelium-independent vasodilation (adjusted r 2 = 0.32; P < 0.01) in the diabetic patients. In conclusion, endothelial and smooth muscle cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes were related to abnormalities in LDL subfractions and in LDL oxidation.
