title: [Reduction of lipoproteins with apoAI but without apoAII (LpAI) in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients].
abstract: Recent data suggest the existence of a relationship between ischemic heart diseases and apolipoprotein A-I containing lipoproteins. The latter and other classic lipid-lipo-protein-apoprotein parameters were quantified in 25 non-insulin-dependent diabetics and 26 normoglycemic normolipidemic subjects. Compared to a control group, non-insulin-dependent diabetics have higher levels of plasma cholesterol (p < 0.05), triacylglycerol, apolipoprotein B (p < 0.001). In contrast, their lipoprotein particles containing only apolipoprotein AI without apolipoprotein AII and apoAI/apoB ratio were lowered (p < 0.001). In our diabetics, apolipoprotein AI was found at normal level but its distribution between high density lipoproteins ('HDL') and 'non-HDL' was abnormal. Also, the distribution of particles containing apolipoprotein A-I without apolipoprotein A-II in non-insulin-dependent diabetics was found abnormal. A higher proportion of both apoAI and LpAI were found in the 'non-HDL' fraction. These data show that lipoprotein metabolism is affected in non-insulin-dependent diabete mellitus. The disease is associated to a lipoprotein profile which is in favour of the atherogenic process.
