    Diabetes in Pima Indian women is associated with lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. These lipoprotein changes may indicate shifts in particle distribution, impacting cardiovascular risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Disorders
    • Lipid Metabolism

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus is a significant metabolic disorder.
    • Lipoprotein profiles are crucial indicators of cardiovascular health.
    • Pima Indian women represent a population with a high prevalence of diabetes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels in normal and diabetic Pima Indian women.
    • To compare lipoprotein distribution and composition between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
    • To explore potential differences in lipoprotein profiles compared to Caucasian populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantification of lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
    • Analysis of lipoprotein composition (lipid and protein ratios).

  • Comparison of lipid/ester cholesterol ratios in LDL and HDL.
  • Assessment of plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity.

    • Main Results:

    • Diabetic women exhibited lower HDL cholesterol and higher LDL cholesterol compared to normal women.
    • The ratio of HDL/LDL cholesterol was reduced in diabetic individuals.
    • Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride levels were elevated in diabetics.
    • Lipoprotein composition analysis indicated changes in particle numbers rather than lipid composition.
    • Normal Pima Indians showed a lower ester/free cholesterol ratio in LDL and HDL compared to Caucasians.

    Conclusions:

    • Diabetes in Pima Indian women is linked to altered lipoprotein cholesterol distribution (lower HDL, higher LDL) and increased VLDL.
    • These alterations appear to be primarily due to changes in lipoprotein particle numbers.
    • Findings suggest potential shifts in lipoprotein metabolism associated with diabetes in this population.
