Abstract
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) shuttles low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors for degradation, thus upregulates LDL plasma clearance. Although PCSK9 loss of function is cardioprotective, its role in metabolic risks remains unknown. Increased apoB-lipoproteins uptake into nonhepatic tissues such as white adipose tissue (WAT) induces their dysfunction, which may be favored by lower plasma PCSK9. We hypothesized that lower plasma PCSK9 relative to apoB, or higher apoB-to-PCSK9 ratio, is a better predictor of metabolic disturbances than PCSK9 alone in humans. Thirty-three men and 48 postmenopausal women (>27 kg/m(2), aged 45-74 years, normoglycemic) underwent in-depth assessment of glucose and fat metabolism using high-fat meals, WAT biopsies, intravenous glucose-tolerance tests, and hyperinsulinemia clamps. Plasma apoB correlated positively with fasting and postprandial triglycerides and chylomicron clearance (R = 0.44-0.66) and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (R = 0.24) and negatively with insulin sensitivity (R = -0.28) and gynoid WAT in situ lipoprotein lipase activity (ie, ex vivo WAT function, R(2) = 0.34). Neither PCSK9 nor LDL cholesterol associated with these risks. In regression analysis that...Continue Reading
