Animal studies indicate a possible role for lipid oxidation in the development of atherosclerosis. We set out to investigate whether there was a relation between the ability of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to resist oxidation in vitro and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in man. 35 unselected young (mean [SD] age 39.9 [4.2] years) male survivors of myocardial infarction underwent angiography, and LDL was isolated from their plasma by density gradient ultracentrifugation. In-vitro LDL susceptibility to oxidation was assessed by determination of the lag phase for the formation of conjugated dienes in the presence of copper ions. An inverse relation was found between lag phase and quantitative estimates of global coronary atherosclerosis (r = -0.45; p less than 0.02). Multivariate analysis indicated that the lag phase for oxidative modification of LDL and LDL cholesterol concentration correlated independently with severity of coronary atherosclerosis. The lag phase for oxidation of LDL was also related to the triglyceride content of the LDL fraction (r = -0.55; p less than 0.002). The finding that susceptibility to LDL oxidation is associated with severity of coronary atherosclerosis may indicate that lipid oxidation promotes premature coronary atherosclerosis and that individuals with an LDL enriched in triglycerides are at particular risk.
