ABSTRACT

LDL interaction with arterial proteoglycans and its oxidative modification is closely related to atherosclerosis. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of the individual administration of vitamin E and a combination of vitamin E and C on LDL affinity for arterial proteoglycans in smokers and non-smokers subjects. Twenty smokers and ten non-smokers healthy subjects received by the oral route placebos of vitamins E and C for 15 days; then vitamin E (400 mg/d) for 30 days and finally vitamin E plus vitamin C (1000 mg/d) during the following 30 days. During the vitamin E supplementation period, the affinity of LDL for arterial proteoglycans decreased 19.3% in smokers and 25.2% in non-smokers. When the subjects received vitamin E plus vitamin C, the affinity of LDL for arterial proteoglycans decreased 25.6% and 30.1% in smokers and non-smokers respectively. In conclusion, simultaneous administration of vitamins E and C showed a synergistic effect to diminish the affinity of the LDL by arterial proteoglycans, that was greater than caused by the administration of vitamin E alone. These finding suggest a potential antiatherogenic effect of both antioxidant vitamins.

ABSTRACT

La interacción de la LDL con proteoglicanos arteriales y la modificación oxidativa de esta lipoproteína están relacionados con la aterogénesis. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar en fumadores el efecto de la administración individual de vitamina E y de vitaminas E y C sobre la afinidad de la LDL por proteoglicanos (PGs) arteriales. Veinte sujetos sanos fumadores y diez no fumadores recibieron por vía oral placebo de ambas vitaminas por 15 días, luego recibieron 400 mg/d de vitamina E y placebo de vitamina C por 30 días y finalmente se les administró simultáneamente 400 mg/d de vitamina E y 100 mg/d de vitamina C durante 30 días. Al final de la administración de la vitamina E, la afinidad de la LDL por PGs arteriales disminuyó 19,3 por ciento en los fumadores y 25,2 por ciento en los no fumadores. La administración de dicha interacción con la administración simultánea de las vitaminas E y C fue de hasta un 25,6 por ciento en los fumadores y 30,1 por ciento en los fumadores. En conclusión, la administración simultánea de las vitaminas E y C mostró un efecto sinergístico, al disminuir en mayor proporción la afinidad de la LDL por los proteoglicanos arteriales en comparación con la administración individual de la vitamina E. Estos hallazgos indican un efecto antiaterogénico potencial de estas vitaminas antioxidantes

ABSTRACT

LDL-lipids peroxidation is an important step in LDL atherogenicity. Tobacco smoke, promotes oxidative stress and reduces LDL-alfa tocoferol content and plasmatic vitamin C concentration. The objective of this double-blind randomized study was to assess the effect of vitamins E and C combined administration, on oxidative susceptibility of LDL isolated from 20 smokers and 10 non-smokers healthy volunteers who received placebo for 15 days and then concomitantly received 400 mg/d vitamin E and 1000 mg/d vitamin C for 30 days. At the end of placebo administration of and vitamins E and C combination; plasma total cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C values did not change significantly (p>0.05), plasma triglycerides increased significantly within a normal accepted range (p<0.05) and LDL oxidation susceptibility in smokers decreased by 41,3% and in non-smokers by 54,4% (p<0.05 vs placebo). In conclusion, simultaneous administration of vitamins E and C exerts an important antioxidant effect on LDL-lipids peroxidation. This effect could operate as an attenuating factor of the increased atherogenesis commonly observed in smoker subjects.

ABSTRACT

La peroxidación de los lípidos de la LDL es un paso importante en la aterogenicidad de esta partícula lipídica, por otra parte el humo del tabaco promueve el stress oxidativo, reduce la concentración endógena de alfa-tocoferol (vitamina E) contenida en la LDL y la concentración de vitamina C del plasma. El objetivo del presente estudio a doble ciego, randomizado fue examinar el efecto de la administración simultánea de las vitaminas E y C sobre la suceptibilidad a la oxidación de la LDL aislada de 20 sujetos fumadores y 10 no fumadores voluntarios, sanos a quienes se administró placebo por 15 días y luego durante 30 días la combinación de vitamina E (400 mg/d) y vitamina C (1000 mg/d). Al final de la administración del placebo y las vitaminas, el colesterol total, LDL-colesterol y HDL-colesterol del plasma no cambiaron significativamente (p>0,05) y los triglicéridos aumentaron significativamente (p<0,05) pero sin sobrepasar el rango normal. La suceptibilidad a la oxidación de la LDL disminuyó 41,3 por ciento en los fumadores y 54,4 por ciento en los no fumadores (p<0,05 vs período pacebo). En conclusión, las vitaminas E y C administradas simultáneamente ejercen un potente efecto antioxidante en la peroxidación de los lípidos de la LDL. Este efecto puede representar un mecanismo atenuador de la aterogénesis incrementada en los sujetos fumadores de cigarrillos

ABSTRACT

The interaction of LDL with extracellular matrix proteoglycan apparently contribute to the acumulation of apo B-lipoproteins in atherogenesis. Retention of LDL by intima proteoglycans appears to increase the residence time needed for their structural, hydrolytic and oxidative modification. If the rate of LDL entry exceeds the tissue capacity to eliminate the modified products, this process may contribute to atherogenesis. In this study we explored whether alterations of LDL induced by human arterial CSPG alter the lipoprotein susceptibility to copper-catalyzed oxidation. Human LDL was complexed with human arterial CSPG and dissociated by raising the ionic strength. The CSPG-treated LDL was subjected to oxidation by micromolar amounts of copper. This treatment increased LDL susceptibility to oxidation 8 times, as indicated by formation rates of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS). Furthermore, the hypercholesterolemic patients show LDL with significantly higher affinity for arterial proteoglycans than LDL from controls.
