In the first part of this study, we observed significantly lower apo A-I concentrations in the cases than in the controls. Since there was a significant difference in smoking habits between cases and controls, and since we wanted to study the effect of a parental history of premature CHD on the composition of the HDL subclasses independently of smoking, the present study was conducted on the 17 pairs of non-smokers male cases and controls. In agreement with the results on total serum, we observed lower apo A-I concentrations in the HDL2b and HDL2a + 3a fractions in the cases compared to the controls. The apo A-II and cholesterol levels in these fractions were not significantly different between the 2 groups. The selective decrease of apo A-I in the HDL subclasses with the lowest density might be due to a decreased number of particles containing only apo A-I, with which a protective effect against atherosclerosis might be associated.

Serum lipids and apoproteins in students whose parents suffered prematurely from a myocardial infarction / Guy De Backer in American Heart Journal, 112(1986)3 ([09/01/1986])  

[article] Serum lipids and apoproteins in students whose parents suffered prematurely from a myocardial infarction [printed text] / Guy De Backer, Author ; Frank Hulstaert, Author ; K. De Munck, Author ; L. Van Parijs, Author ; M. Dramaix, Author . - 1986 . - 478-84. Languages : English (eng) in American Heart Journal > 112(1986)3 [09/01/1986] . - 478-84 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Adult ; Apolipoprotein A-I ; Female ; Humans ; Journal Article ; Lipids ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Myocardial infarction ; Peer Review ; Risk ; Smoking ; United States Abstract: Lipids and apoproteins as well as other coronary risk factors were measured in offspring of patients who suffered from a myocardial infarction before the age of 50 years; the results are compared with the results of a control group matched for age and sex. Significant differences were observed in the apoprotein A1 level, in the protein/fat ratios of high- and low-density lipoproteins, and in smoking habits. In a multivariate analysis, the offspring group was found to be different from the control group in nonhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol/apoprotein B ratio, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol/apoprotein A1 ratio, smoking habits, apoprotein A1, and apoprotein A2. By means of these variables a total of 85% of all subjects could be correctly classified. We conclude that as early as age 21 years the offspring of patients with premature coronary heart disease differ from matched control subjects in lipoprotein measurements and in smoking habits.
