Abstract

Aim: Both inflammation and oxidation of LDL cholesterol constitute the initial stages in atherogenesis. It has been suggested that paraoxonase (PON), an enzyme present on HDL, protects lipoproteins from oxidative modifications and has an antiatherogenetic effect. In this study we investigated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of fenofibrate in addition to their lipid lowering functions in patients with combined hyperlipidemia. Material and Methods: Fifty patients with a history of combined hyperlipidemia were enrolled into the study. Laboratory parameters, including serum lipids, inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, fibrinogen) and paraoxonase levels were determined before and after eight weeks of 250 mg per day fenofibrate treatment. Results: After eight weeks of treatment, as every parameter were statisticaly significant; there had been a decrease of 28% in total cholesterol, 32% in LDL cholesterol, 55% in triglyceride level and an increase of 18% in HDL cholesterol level when compared with baseline. A decrease of 41% in fibrinogen level was observed when a decrease of 80% had been in hs-CRP levels. The reductions in hs-CRP and fibrinogen levels were also statistically significant (p<0.0001 and p<0.001). When compared baseline, it was found that serum paraoxonase level was significantly increased after fenofibrate treatment (p<0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion eight weeks treatment with fenofibrate reduced the markers of inflammation and improved the antioxidant status in addition to lipid modifying effect.

Özet

Amaç: LDL oksidasyonu ve inflamasyon aterogenezde en erken basamakları oluştururlar. Serumda HDL ile ilişkili bir enzim olan paraoksonaz (PON) lipoprotein oksidasyonunu önleyerek antiaterojenik etki göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada kombine hiperlipidemili hastalara fenofibrat verilerek bu grup ilaçların lipid düşürücü etkilerinin yanısıra antioksidan ve antiinflamatuar etkileri araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kombine hiperlipidemili 50 hastaya (ort. yaş:50$\pm$8.7) 250 mg/gün oral fenofibrat verilerek tedavi öncesi ve sekiz haftalık kullanımın ardından serum lipidleri, inflamasyon belirteçleri (yüksek duyarlıklı C reaktif protein (hs-CRP) ve fibrinojen) ve antioksidan bir enzim olan paraoksonaz aktivitesi ölçüldü. Bulgular: Fenofibrat ile sekiz haftalık tedavinin ardından tümü istatistiki olarak anlamlı olmak üzere; total kolesterolde %28, LDL kolesterolde %32, trigliserid düzeyinde %55 azalma, HDL kolesterolde %18 artış saptandı. Serum hs-CRP düzeyinde %80 düşüş izlenirken, plazma fibrinojen düzeylerinde %41 azalma oldu. hs-CRP ve fibrinojen düzeylerindeki değişimler istatistiki açıdan anlamlı bulundu (p<0.0001 ve p<0.001). Bazal değerlerle karşılaştırıldığında, fenofibrat tedavisi sonrası serum paraoksonaz düzeylerinde anlamlı artış saptandı (p<0.001). Sonuç: Sekiz haftalık fenofibrat kullanımı ile serum lipid profilinde oluşan olumlu değişikliklerin yanısıra inflamasyon belirteçlerinde gerileme, organizmanın antioksidan kapasitesinde iyileşme saptanmıştır.
