Aims:
Malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) level has been reported to be strongly associated with the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. We focused on diabetic status and investigated its possible contribution to MDA-LDL level.
Methods:
The study sample consisted of 2705 patients who were admitted to our hospital and underwent cardiac catheterization. Blood samples were obtained to measure the levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin, LDL, MDA-LDL and others. Body mass index (BMI) was also used in constructing structural equation modeling and Bayesian estimation.
Results:
To explore the factors theoretically associated with MDA-LDL level, we performed structural equation modeling. We generated a path model that revealed that BMI, LDL level and FBS were significantly associated with MDA-LDL level (P < 0.001 for each factor), whereas insulin level and HbA1c level were not significantly associated (P = NS for both factors). Noted above was clearly demonstrated on the image of 2-D contour line by Bayesian structure equation modeling.
Conclusions:
This study clearly showed that hyperglycemia affects MDA-LDL level. An interaction between diabetes and dyslipidemia was shown in terms of activation of lipid oxidation.

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
