heal.abstractCarotid intima media thickness (IMT), represents an important clinical indicator of early atherosclerosis. Human plasma platelet-activating factor acety1hydrolase (PAF-AH) is an enzyme primarily associated with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) while a small proportion of enzymatic activity is also associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Plasma paraoxonase 1 (PON 1) is an esterase exclusively associated with HDL. The authors investigated the possible relationship between carotid IMT and the plasma levels of PAF-AH mass and activity as well as the PON 1 activity in hyperlipiclemic patients. One hundred unrelated patients with primary hyperlipidemia and 67 age- and sex-matched normolipidemic apparently healthy volunteers participated in the study. The PAF-AH activity in total plasma and in HDL-rich plasma (HDL-PAF-AH activity), the plasma PAF-AH mass, and the serum PON I activities toward paraoxon and phenyl acetate were determined. The plasma PAF-AH mass and activity were higher in hyperlipidemic patients compared to controls, whereas the HDL-PAF-AH activity, as well as the serum PON I activities were not significantly different between the studied groups. When hyperlipidemic patients were divided into 2 subgroups according to their IMT values (IMT < 0.7 mm and IMT >= 0.7 mm) patients with IMT >= 0.7 mm had significantly higher age, and serum triglycericle concentrations, whereas no difference was found in the plasma PAF-AH mass and activity as well as in the HDL-PAF-AH activity between the 2 studied subgroups. The same phenomenon was observed for serum PON1 activities. In a multivariate analysis, only the age was significantly correlated with IMT values (p < 0.05). Neither the total plasma PAF-AH mass and activity nor the HDL-PAF-AH activity are associated with early carotid atherosclerosis.en
