ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We verified whether genetic variants in this gene are associated with the MS and whether dietary fatty acids interact with the -87T>C polymorphism.METHODS:
By direct sequencing, we identified 15 variants in the PPAR-delta gene and analyses were pursued with the -87T>C polymorphism for 340 subjects.RESULTS:
Metabolic variables were comparable among each genotype group. The -87T>C polymorphism, fat intake and the interaction accounted, respectively for 2.2, 1.9 and 1.5% of the variance in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (P<0.05) (age, sex and energy intake were included into the model). The total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio was also modulated by a gene-diet interaction and by the -87T>C polymorphism (P<0.05). No gene-diet interaction effects were observed for other features of the MS. The age- and sex-adjusted odds ratio (OR) of exhibiting three or more features of the MS when carrying the -87C allele was 0.62 (P=0.04) compared to -87T/T. However, in subjects consuming less than 34.4% of energy from fat (median of fat consumption), the OR in carriers of the -87C allele was of 0.42 (P=0.008).CONCLUSION:
These data suggest that the PPAR-delta -87T>C polymorphism may be associated with a lower risk to exhibit the MS and this association is influenced by dietary fat intake. The metabolic syndrome (MS) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-delta), a transcription factor involved in lipid metabolism, is a candidate gene for the MS.
