説明

<p> Aim: Blood cholesterol absorption and synthesis biomarkers predict cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to determine the values of serum non-cholesterol sterol markers [lathosterol (Latho), campesterol (Campe), and sitosterol (Sito)] in healthy individuals and factors affecting these markers.</p><p>Methods: The CACHE Consortium compiled clinical data, including serum Latho (cholesterol synthesis marker), and Campe and Sito (cholesterol absorption markers), by a gas chromatography method in 2944 individuals. Healthy subjects were selected by excluding those with prior cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, familial hypercholesterolemia, sitosterolemia, current smokers, those with low (＜17 kg/m2) or high (≥ 30 kg/m2) body mass index (BMI), and those with treatment for dyslipidemia or hyperuricemia. Nonlinear regression stratified by sex was used to examine the associations of cholesterol metabolism markers with age, BMI, and serum lipid levels.</p><p>Results: Of 479 individuals selected, 59.4% were female; the median age was 48 years in females and 50 years in males. The three markers showed positively skewed distributions, and sex differences were present. Age was associated positively with Latho, inversely with Campe, but not significantly with Sito. BMI was associated positively with Latho, but not significantly with Campe or Sito. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was positively associated with Campe and Sito, but not significantly with Latho. Non-HDL-C was positively associated with the three markers.</p><p>Conclusion: Our study results in the healthy subjects help to interpret the non-cholesterol sterol markers for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.</p>
