Relação da expressão gênica do ECHDC3 com perfil de ácidos graxos e fatores nutricionais na doença arterial coronariana. 2016. 108f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Nutrição) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/22496Coronary arterial disease is a at leading cause of death worldwide and can be triggered by alterations in the serum profile of fatty acids, by patterns of gene expression, changes in dietary intake, and alteration anthropometric. The early diagnosis of this pathophysiology is a challenge in translational medicine, since the methods used are expensive and / or invasive. The aim in the study was to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of atherosclerosis through the relationship of serum fatty acid profile, enoyl-coA hydratase (ECDHC3) mRNA expression and nutritional factors in patients without lesions and with different extensions of the atherosclerotic lesion. The study was observational, with the sample collected for convenience in two casuistry in the Hemodynamics sector of the Onofre Lopes University Hospital (HUOL). In the first series, 59 patients partipated (n1, 2011-2013) and in the second 41 individuals ( n2, 2014-2015), both aged 30-74 years and who were undergoing coronariography for the first time. The extent of atherosclerotic lesions was determined by Friesinger index, the biochemical profile by semi-automated spectrometry; the concentration of fatty acids by gas chromatography; gene expression of ECHDC3 mRNA by real-time PCR; food consumption and dietary intake for two 24-hour dietary intake recalls, anthropometric parameters and corporal composition by the electric bioimpedance, measuring tape and stadiometer scale.Patients were classified into groups: no lesion (n1 = 18 / n2 = 8), low lesions (n1 = 17 / n2 = 6), intermediate lesions (n1 = 17 / n2 = 15) and major lesion (n1= 7 / n2 = 12). In n1 was observed high serum concentrations of oleic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids in patients with low lesions and intermediate when compared to patients without lesions (p <0.05). ECHDC3 expression was 1.2 fold-higher in patients with low lesions than in patients without lesions (p = 0.023), and 1.8 fold- lower in patients with major lesions than in patients without lesions (p = 0.020). In the second casuistry, the expression of ECHDC3 was 1.93 fold-higher in patients with intermediate lesions than in low lesions (p = 0.011) and 1.91 fold-higher in patients with severe lesions than in low lesions (p = 0.013). Spearman's analysis showed a positive correlation showed a between ECHDC3 mRNA expression and Friesinger index (r = 0.327, p = 0.037), between the gene and visceral fat (r = 0.416, p = 0.009). The Friesinger index also showed a correlation with the consumption of carbohydrate (r = 0.754, p = 0.002), vitamin B1 (r = 0.507, p = 0.001), vitamin B2 (r = 0.388, p = 0.012), folate (r = 0.599, p = 0.000), magnesium (r = 0.528, p = 0.003). It was verified that oleic acid, ECHDC3 expression, percentage of visceral fat could favors β-oxidation, trigger for inflammation and CVD; while the greater consumption of carbohydrate and some micronutrients, also could be associated with the CVD development, since the excess or decreased absorption can favors the oxidative stress, that favors the atherosclerosis.Acesso AbertoÁcido oléicoExpressão gênicaDoença cardiovascularAteroscleroseÍndice de FriesingerECHDC3Consumo alimentar e dietéticoGordura visceralRelação da expressão gênica do ECHDC3 com perfil de ácidos graxos e fatores nutricionais na doença arterial coronarianamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAO
