• Low normal thyroid function may relate to higher triglycerides and cholesterol.
• Plasma pre-β-HDL formation was related positively to free T4 in T2DM.
• No relation of preβ-HDL formation with free T4 was found in non-diabetic subjects.
• This relationship was independent of plasma lipids and PLTP activity.
• Variations in thyroid function may influence the metabolism of pre-β-HDL in T2DM
ObjectivesLow-normal thyroid function within the euthyroid range may influence plasma lipoprotein levels. Associations between variation in thyroid function and pre-β-high density lipoproteins (pre-β-HDL), i.e. lipid-poor or lipid free HDL particles that act as initial acceptor of cell-derived cholesterol, are unknown. We determined relationships of plasma pre-β-HDL with thyroid function in euthyroid subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Design and SubjectsTSH, free T4, plasma (apo)lipoproteins, pre-β-HDL, pre-β-HDL formation (pre-β-HDL generation during incubation with lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase being inhibited) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity were measured in fasting plasma from 72 T2DM and 82 non-diabetic subjects.ResultsTSH was similar and free T4 was slightly higher (P < 0.05) in T2DM vs. non-diabetic subjects. HDL cholesterol and apoA-I were lower, whereas pre-β-HDL (expressed as % of apoA-I), triglycerides and PLTP activity were higher in T2DM (P < 0.05 to P < 0.001). In T2DM, pre-β-HDL formation (in apoA-I concentration and in % of apoA-I) was positively related to free T4, PLTP activity, total cholesterol and triglycerides (P < 0.05 for each). Multivariable linear regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, PLTP activity, total cholesterol and triglycerides, demonstrated that pre-β-HDL formation was positively related to free T4 (in apoA-I concentration: β = 0.278, P = 0.014; in % of apoA-I: β = 0.343, P = 0.003) in T2DM, but not in non-diabetic subjects (both P > 0.30; interaction terms: both P < 0.05).ConclusionsVariations in thyroid function within the euthyroid range may influence the metabolism of pre-β-HDL in T2DM.
