Detailed Description
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading killer of Americans, accounting for more than 800,000 deaths each year. A vital step in reducing the number of heart disease-related deaths in the U.S. is to identify those at probable risk. The Clinical Chemistry Branch (CCB) in the Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed advanced analytical methods for assessing the risk for lipid metabolism related diseases, including CVD. This comprehensive analytical method measures levels of protein and lipid constituents of lipoprotein size and density classes (e.g. high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)) in blood. The analytical method uses asymmetric flow-field flow fractionation (AF4) to separate lipoprotein classes (HDL, LDL, VLDL) in serum or plasma into size fractions, and in each fraction quantifies over 50 CVD-linked biomarkers by isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry. The CCB plans to apply the measurement of this wide array of biomarkers in future epidemiologic investigations of CVD. These studies have the potential to expand the number of diagnostically relevant CVD risk factors that currently are limited to cholesterol and triglyceride measurements.
However, there is limited information about how the CVD-linked biomarkers measured with the CCB's method are affected by blood collection conditions and the fasting/non-fasting state of individuals. Furthermore, lipid metabolism is very dynamic and the absolute levels of biomarkers are strongly affected by each individual's diet, lifestyle, gender, age, and physiology. Thus, assessing biomarkers related to lipid metabolism is most effective in a pre- and post-test comparison (i.e. fasting vs. after a test meal) with controlled lipid and carbohydrate content.
The study involves three different meal challenges on three separate days with approximately two weeks in between. The first meal challenge will involve the consumption of a standardized mixture of dietary fats (lipid challenge), the second meal challenge will be a sugar sweetened beverage (glucose challenge) and the third meal challenge will be a nutrition shake (mixed meal challenge). At each of the three visits, each individual will provide both venous and finger-prick blood samples and a urine sample before consuming the test meal (in a fasting state) and 6 additional venous and finger-prick blood samples post-meal at described intervals. Each study visit will last approximately 8 hours.

Experimental: Lipid, Glucose, and Mixed Meal Challenges
Participants will take part in three different meal challenges on three separate days with approximately two weeks in between.
The first meal challenge is the lipid challenge, the second meal challenge is the glucose challenge and third meal challenge is the mixed-meal challenge.
|
For the lipid challenge, participants consume 100 grams of a long chain triglyceride emulsion in the form of liquid drink, which is the commercially available brand called Calogen, from Nutricia, Inc.
Other Names:
For the glucose challenge, participants consume 75 grams of glucose in 200 milliliters of water, which is the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended drink for the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.
For the mixed-meal challenge, participants consume 237 milliliters of the Ensure Enlive nutrition drink , which contains 11 grams of fat, 22 grams of sugar and 20 grams of protein.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) Size
Time Frame: Baseline, Minute 15, Minute 30, Hour 1, Hour 2, Hour 4 and Hour 6 during study visits 1, 2, and 3 (up to 6 weeks)
|
HDL concentration size profiles for each time-point will be determined for each of the three meal challenges.
HDL is considered to be anti- atherogenic because of its ability deplete excess cholesterol accumulating necrotic cores and repair arterial lesions.
|
Baseline, Minute 15, Minute 30, Hour 1, Hour 2, Hour 4 and Hour 6 during study visits 1, 2, and 3 (up to 6 weeks)
|
Change in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) Size
Time Frame: Baseline, Minute 15, Minute 30, Hour 1, Hour 2, Hour 4 and Hour 6 during study visits 1, 2, and 3 (up to 6 weeks)
|
LDL concentration size profiles for each time-point will be determined for each of the three meal challenges.
LDL is considered to be atherogenic because it is likely to be trapped inside the intima of blood vessels and arteries and initiate inflammatory response, foam-cell formation, and smooth muscle cell proliferation, leading to development necrotic cores, lesions, plaques and their eventual rupture.
Elevated LDL has been thought to contribute to atherosclerotic events, however, research has also observed coronary events occurring in individuals with LDL levels in the acceptable range.
