Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) regulates genes involved in lipoprotein metabolism, hemostasis, and inflammation. It thus represents a candidate gene for the risk of dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Nonesterified fatty acids are PPARalpha ligands and their levels are increased in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM-2). The effects of the polymorphism of PPARalpha on plasma lipids and atherosclerosis development have been until now contradictory. The present study was performed to evaluate the association between the PPARalpha polymorphism L162V and the presence of dyslipidemia and/or atherosclerotic disease in patients with DM-2 in comparison with nondiabetic controls.
