Molecules secreted by visceral adipocytes in patients with coronary atherosclerosis and insulin resistance
Abstract
Aim. To study the association of adipocytokine levels with insulin resistance (IR) and stable/unstable plaques in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.Material and methods. This cross-sectional observational study included 109 men aged 38-79 years with class II-III stable angina pectoris without acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with coronary atherosclerosis verified by coronary angiography. Biochemical tests were carried out using the enzymatic method on a Konelab 30i analyzer at the Laboratory of Clinical Biochemical and Hormonal Studies of Internal Diseases of the Research Institute of Internal and Preventive Medicine — branch of the Federal Research Center Institute of Cytology and Genetics. All patients also underwent anthropometric examination.Results. Patients with coronary atherosclerosis and IR had higher levels of GIP by 1,4 times (p=0,005), GLP-1 by 1,7 times (p=0,032), IL-6 by 3,2 times (p=0,017), leptin by 2,3 times (p=0,001) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) by 1,9 times (p=0,006). In patients with stable plaques and IR, leptin was 2 times higher, and PP was 1,7 times higher, compared to patients without IR. In patients with unstable plaques and IR, leptin and PP levels are 5,1 and 1,7 times higher, respectively, compared to the group of patients without IR. In patients with IR and stable plaques, PYY was 1,5 times higher than in patients with IR and unstable plaques, while the adiponectin level was 1,9 times higher. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that PP is associated with IR in patients with unstable plaques.Conclusion. Patients with coronary atherosclerosis and IR had higher levels of GIP, GLP-1, IL-6, leptin and PP. Leptin and PP levels are higher in patients with both stable and unstable plaques and IR, and PYY and adiponectin levels are higher in patients with stable plaques and IR compared with patients without IR. PP is associated with IR in patients with unstable plaques.
