dc.description.abstractExtended Release-Niacin (ERN) is the most effective agent for increasing high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). Having previously identified anti-HDL antibodies, we investigated whether ERN affected the antioxidant capacity of HDL and whether ERN was associated with the production of antibodies against HDL (aHDL) and apolipoprotein A-I (aApoA-I). METHODS: Twenty-one patients older than 18 years, with HDL-C ≤ 40 mg/dL (men) or ≤ 50 mg/dL (women) were randomly assigned to receive daily ERN (n = 10) or placebo (n = 11) for two sequential 12-week periods, with 4 weeks of wash-out before cross-over. Primary outcome was change of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity and secondary outcomes were changes in aHDL and aApoA-I antibodies. Clinical Trial Unique Identifier: EudraCT 2006-006889-42. RESULTS: The effect of ERN on PON1 activity was non-significant (coefficient estimate 20.83U/L, 95% CI -9.88 to 51.53; p = 0.184). ERN was associated with an increase in HDL-C levels (coefficient estimate 5.21 mg/dL, 95% CI 1.16 to 9.25; p = 0.012) and its subclasses HDL2 (coefficient estimate 2.46 mg/dL, 95% CI 0.57 to 4.34; p = 0.011) and HDL3 (coefficient estimate 2.73 mg/dL, 95% CI 0.47 to 4.98; p = 0.018). ERN was significantly associated with the production of aApoA-I antibodies (coefficient estimate 0.25 µg/mL, 95% CI 0.09-0.40; p = 0.001). aApoA-I titres at baseline were correlated with decreased PON activity. CONCLUSIONS: The rise in HDL-C achieved with ERN was not matched by improved anti-oxidant capacity, eventually hampered by the emergence of aApoA-I antibodies. These results may explain why Niacin and other lipid lowering agents fail to reduce cardiovascular risk.pt_PT
