PG - 327-32 LID - 10.3109/00365513.2014.1003595 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) inhibits inflammation associated with the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between plasma MCP-1 levels and low HDL-C levels in patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS: This study included 55 patients with low HDL-C ( 35 mg/dL). In addition to MCP-1 levels, laboratory parameters associated with inflammation such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), uric acid and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were also evaluated. RESULTS: HDL-C levels was significantly lower in study group compared to that of the control group (p < 0.001). MCP-1 were prominently higher in the low HDL-C group compared with those of the control group (p < 0.01). NLR, uric acid and hs-CRP levels were also higher in patients with low HDL-C than controls. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that elevated plasma MCP-1 levels and inflammation status might be associated with the increased cardiovascular risk in patients with low HDL-C.
