ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) has been reported to play critical roles in the development of atherosclerosis. We investigated whether an increased in plasma A-FABP level can be independently associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD).METHODS:
Two hundred eleven consecutive male patients (mean age 66 years, range 33-87 years) were enrolled from inpatients who underwent coronary angiography. Age-matched male subjects (n = 211) having no evidence of CAD served as controls. Plasma A-FABP levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.RESULTS:
Plasma A-FABP levels in CAD patients were significantly higher than in control subjects (median [IQR], 20.6 [15.7-27.8] ng/mL vs. 15.1 [11.7-19.9] ng/mL, p < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that an increased plasma A-FABP level was independently associated with the presence of CAD in all subjects (adjusted odds ratio 1.76, 95% confidence interval 1.14 to 2.70, p = 0.01). Furthermore, sub-analysis based on age showed that this association remained significant in subjects aged < 65 years (adjusted odds ratio 3.06, 95% confidence interval 1.34 to 6.98, p < 0.01), but not in subjects aged ≥65 years.CONCLUSIONS:
Increased plasma A-FABP in non-elderly men had a significant association with the presence of CAD, independent of established CAD risk factors.
