Abstract
The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) gene regulates cholesterol homoeostasis by accelerating low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) degradation resulting in the decreased catabolism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) leading to hypercholesterolaemia. PCSK9 has also been related to other metabolic risk factors such as triglycerides (TGs) and glucose levels and body mass index (BMI). Therefore, our aim was to study the relationship between the PCSK9 and the lipid and lipoprotein profile. We studied 267 diabetic and metabolic syndrome patients who were not receiving any lipid-lowering therapy. We measured circulating lipids, cholesterol in remnant lipoproteins (RLPc) and PCSK9 levels. A detailed lipoprotein profile was determined based on NMR. Plasma PCSK9 levels were significantly and positively correlated with TG (r=0.136, P=0.033), total cholesterol (r=0.219, P
