    Fatty acid composition in aortic tissues differs significantly between atherosclerosis stages and populations. Cholesterol ethers show distinct fatty acid profiles in atherosclerotic lesions, with linoleic acid increasing in plaques.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Population Health

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis involves complex changes in aortic tissue composition.
    • Fatty acid profiles within lipids (cholesterol ethers, triglycerides, phospholipids) are critical indicators of metabolic health.
    • Understanding population-specific variations in lipid metabolism is essential for targeted health interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the fatty acid composition of cholesterol ethers, triglycerides, and phospholipids in normal and atherosclerotic aortic intima.
    • To compare these compositions between indigenous (Uzbek) and migrant (Russian) populations in Uzbekistan.
    • To investigate how fatty acid profiles change with atherosclerosis progression and age.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed analysis of fatty acid composition in ether fractions of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.

  • Examination of aortic intima samples from normal individuals and those at various stages of atherosclerosis.
  • Comparative analysis between indigenous Uzbek and migrant Russian populations residing in Uzbekistan.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant alterations in fatty acid composition were observed, particularly in cholesterol ethers, varying with lesion type.
    • Fatty acid profiles in cholesterol ethers differed between early lesions (fatty streaks/spots) and advanced atheromatous plaques.
    • Indigenous Uzbeks showed higher relative linoleic acid content in triglycerides compared to migrants, both in normal intima and plaques.

    Conclusions:

    • Atherosclerosis progression induces specific, stage-dependent changes in aortic intima fatty acid profiles, especially in cholesterol esters.
    • Age-related increases in linoleic acid occur even in atherosclerosis-free aortic regions.
    • Population differences exist in triglyceride fatty acid composition, suggesting a genetic or environmental influence on lipid metabolism.
