چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of serum lipids and apolipoprotein (apoE) gene polymorphism to colorectal adenomas. METHODS This study took place in the Department of Gastroenterology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, PR China from June 2003 to March 2005. Ninety-eight patients with colorectal adenomas and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled, and their serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were determined. The apoE gene polymorphism was identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS Serum TC levels of colorectal adenomas group (5.32 +/- 0.85 mmol/L), distal colorectal adenomas group (5.58 +/- 0.63 mmol/L), and villous adenoma group (5.49 +/- 0.69 mmol/L) were higher than the control group (4.28 +/- 0.62 mmol/L, p=0.016), proximal colorectal adenomas group (4.82 +/- 0.58 mmol/L, p=0.038) and non-villous adenoma group (4.76 +/- 0.58 mmol/L, p=0.03). Serum HDL-C levels of colorectal adenomas group (1.39 +/- 0.25 mmol/L) were lower than the control group (1.51 +/- 0.29 mmol/L) (p=0.035). Serum lipids levels of each genotype in colorectal adenomas group were not statistically significant. Apolipoprotein E3/E4 genotypic frequency in colorectal adenomas group (7.1%) was lower than the control group (17.5%) (p=0.012). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that altered lipid metabolism may be differentially associated with colorectal adenomas and the persons with apoE E3/E4 genotype have lower risk suffering from colorectal adenomas than those with other genotypes.

Evaluation of Apolipoprotein A5 Polymorphism in Coronary- Heart Disease Patients
Background and Objectives: Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene is important in determining plasma triglyceride levels, a major cardiovascular disease risk factor. Mutation in this gene affected plasma triglyceride level. We looked for possible associations of the APOA5 gene polymorphism S19W with coronary heart disease (CHD) in a sample of Iranian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 7...

Background & Aims: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is one of the key enzymes regulating the metabolism of triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphisms are possibly involved in the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia. Hind III polymorphism is one of the most common polymorphisms in LPL gene. In some studies, association of Hind III polymorphism with dyslipidemia h...
