![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Structural and functional changes in HDL with low grade and chronic inflammation Structural and functional changes in HDL with low grade and chronic inflammation](/preview/png/5967273.png)
ObjectiveHDL functionality has been shown to be impaired in inflammatory conditions, including coronary artery disease. The present study aims to determine the impact of low grade and acute inflammation on HDL function and structure.Approach and resultsi) The endothelial protective effects of HDL were compared between 26 periodontal patients and 26 age and sex matched controls by measuring paraoxonase activity in serum and nitric oxide bioavailability and superoxide production in endothelial cells. Paraoxonase activity and nitric oxide bioavailability were reduced, while superoxide production was increased (p < 0.01) in periodontal patients compared to controls. ii) HDL function, including cholesterol efflux and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, was subsequently measured in the periodontal patients following an inflammatory stimulus. There was an acute deterioration in HDL's endothelial protective function, without change in cholesterol efflux, after 24 h (p < 0.01 for all). These functional changes tracked increases of inflammatory markers and altered HDL composition. Finally, HDL function returned to baseline levels after resolution of inflammation.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that even minor alterations in systemic inflammation can impair the endothelial protective effects of HDL. These functional changes were independent of cholesterol efflux and were associated with remodeling of the HDL proteome. All measures of HDL's endothelial protective functions recovered with resolution of inflammation. These findings suggest that HDL dysfunction may represent a novel mechanism linking inflammation with progression of atheroma.
