Increased cardiovascular mortality due to premature atherosclerosis is a clinical feature in the adult-onset GH deficiency (AGHD) syndrome. Inflammation is a key feature in atherogenesis and may be triggered by postprandial lipoprotein remnants. We hypothesized that increased postprandial lipoprotein remnant levels in AGHD may be associated with an inflammatory response. In this case-control study, 10 AGHD patients [6 males and 4 females; age, 48 +/- 9 yr; body mass index (BMI), 26.9 +/- 2.6 kg/m(2)] and 10 healthy control subjects (matched for age, BMI, gender, baseline lipid levels, and apolipoprotein E genotype) were included. They all ingested an oral fat load. Fasting and postprandial levels of plasma remnant-like particle-cholesterol (RLP-C; 0.31 +/- 0.13 mmol/liter and 4.14 +/- 1.37 mmol/liter.h in GHD; 0.18 +/- 0.06 mmol/liter and 2.56 +/- 1.02 mmol/liter.h in controls, respectively) were significantly increased in AGHD patients compared with control subjects. The median inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, were higher in the fasting [3.9 (range, 3.1-11.9) pg/ml and 6.8 (range, 2.5-27.6) pg/ml, respectively] and postprandial [151.7 (range, 87.0-294.3) pg/ml.24 h and 289.9 (range, 87.5-617.6) pg/ml.24 h, respectively] states in AGHD than in controls [fasting, 0.9 (range, 0.2-5.2) pg/ml and 2.8 (range, 2.5-5.7) pg/ml; and postprandial, 54.5 (range, 11.50-126.5) pg/ml.24 h and 118.3 (range, 81.2-243.1) pg/ml.24 h, respectively]. In addition, postprandial profile of RLP-C and IL-6 in AGHD and in the total group were significantly associated (r(2) = 0.44, P &lt; 0.05; and r(2) = 0.38, P &lt; 0.01, respectively). In conclusion, the increased postprandial RLP-C level in GHD is associated with an inflammatory response that may result in increased susceptibility for premature atherosclerosis.
