AbstractBackground: Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) remodel circulating lipoproteins and play a role in the antiatherogenic reverse cholesterol transport pathway. The present study determined whether abnormalities in the LDL subfraction pattern in type 2 diabetic patients were related to changes in lipid transfer proteins. Methods: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions were measured by density gradient ultracentrifugation and plasma PLTP and CETP activities by radiometric assays in 240 diabetic patients and 136 controls. Results: The diabetic patients had lower LDL-I (P < 0.001) and higher LDL-III concentrations than the controls (P < 0.001). Plasma PLTP activity was increased (P < 0.001) whereas no significant differences were seen in CETP activity. In the diabetic patients, small, dense LDL-III correlated with plasma triglyceride (r = 0.18, P < 0.01), HDL (r = -0.14, P < 0.05), PLTP (r = 0.29, P < 0.001) and CETP activity (r = 0.15, P < 0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that plasma PLTP activity, triglyceride and age were the major determinants of LDL-III concentration (r2 = 28%, P < 0.001). The univariate relationship between CETP and LDL-III was no longer significant after adjusting for PLTP activity. Conclusions: The increase in plasma PLTP activity was independently associated with small, dense LDL concentrations in type 2 diabetes. Hence, elevated PLTP activity might have both antiatherogenic and pro-atherogenic potential in these patients.
