Blood Adipokins in Young People with Early Ischemic Heart Disease on the Background of Abdominal Obesity

Abstract

Aim To study blood adipokines spectrum in people aged 25-44 years with early ischemic heart disease (IHD), including that associated with abdominal obesity (AO).Material and methods A cross-sectional study was performed on a random sample of the population aged 25-44 years in Novosibirsk. 1457 subjects (653 men, 804 women) were evaluated. This study included 123 people divided into four study subgroups: subgroup 1, with IHD associated with AO (n=24); subgroup 2, with IHD and without AO (n=25); subgroup 3, without IHD and with AO (n=44); and subgroup 4, without either IHD or AO (n=30). Concentrations of serum adipokines were measured simultaneously by multiplex assay with a Luminex MAGPIX flow fluorometer and by immune enzyme assay with a MULTISCAN analyzer.Results Subjects with early IHD had lower blood concentrations of adipsin and visfatin than subjects without IHD. Subjects with early IHD associated with AO had higher blood concentrations of adipsin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and leptin and lower concentrations of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and visfatin compared to subjects with early IHD and without AO. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lower blood concentrations of MCP-1 were associated with a likelihood of early IHD.Conclusion In young people aged 25-44 years, lower blood concentrations of MCP-1 were associated with a likelihood of early IHD, including that associated with AO.
