The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is responsible for the exchange of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters between lipoprotein particles leading to an increased hepatic clearance of HDL-cholesteryl esters. A high CETP activity reduces serum HDL levels, whereas persons without CETP activity have high HDL levels. We investigated the association of the TaqIB CETP polymorphism and various parameters of the insulin resistance syndrome in a cross sectional population based study. We included 1029 persons without known cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus consecutively enrolled in our SAPHIR program (Salzburg Atherosclerosis Prevention program in persons with a High Infarction Risk). Numerous clinical and laboratory data were accomplished. Insulin sensitivity was measured by a short insulin tolerance test. The TaqIB CETP polymorphism was determined by PCR, TaqI restriction and electrophoresis. 35.2% were homozygous for the prevalence (B1B1), 46.7% were heterozygous (B1B2), and 18.1% homozygous for the absence (B2B2) of the restriction site. HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 were lower and small dense low-density lipoproteins (sdLDL) higher in B1B1 compared to B2B1 and B2B2 persons. In women, we found a significant interaction effect between CETP genotype and adiposity for HDL cholesterol. B1B1 women with a BMI and a waist circumference above the median had 9.7 mg/dl lower HDL than B1B2 and 9.1 mg/dl lower HDL than B2B2 women (P < 0.001). In men, no interaction effect but a marked genotype to HDL correlation was found. There was a high CETP effect on sdLDL detected in men (P = 0.001). B1B1 men had sdLDL in 36%, B1B2 in 24.6%, and B2B2 in only 14.5%. Men with adiposity and insulin resistance had twice as many sdLDL as insulin sensitive men. We found a significant sex specific effect of the TaqIB CETP polymorphism on the insulin resistance parameters HDL-cholesterol and sdLDL in an Austrian population based study.
