PG - 209-12 AB - BACKGROUND: An imbalance between the lipid peroxidation process and antioxidative protection is associated with the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). The authors aimed to determine the relationship between the contributors of antioxidant protection, such as paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity, albumin, vitamin C and ceruloplasmin (CP) levels, and lipid peroxidation indicators. METHODS: In the present study, the activity of PON1 was measured, together with serum concentrations of a variety of lipid constituents, albumin, vitamin C and CP levels, and lipid peroxidation indicators (conjugated dienes [CDs] and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [TBARS]). Data were gathered from 26 nondiabetic, angiographically proven, Turkish CAD patients and 26 healthy controls living in the Antalya region (Turkey). RESULTS: CAD patients had significantly lower PON1 activity, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, vitamin C and albumin concentrations, and higher CP, CD and TBARS concentrations than the controls. In the entire study population (n=52), serum CP levels were positively correlated with TBARS and CD levels, and negatively correlated with albumin and vitamin C levels, as well as with PON1 activity. On multiple logistic regression analysis, risk factors associated with CAD included high CP and low albumin levels. CONCLUSIONS: CAD patients and controls were matched for age and sex, and high CP and low albumin levels were found to be independent risk factors for CAD. The present data gathered from the study group living in the Antalya region verifies that in CAD patients, CP impairs the oxidant-antioxidant balance in favour of the oxidants.
