The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) 1131T>C gene variant on vitamin E status and lipid profile. The gene variant was determined in 297 healthy non-smoking men aged 20-75 years and recruited in the VITAGE-project. Effects of the genotype on vitamin E in plasma, low density lipoproteins (LDL) and buccal mucosal cells (BMC) as well as on cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in plasma and lipoproteins, apo A-I, B, E, C-III and plasma fatty acids were determined. Plasma malondialdehyde concentrations as a marker of in vivo lipid peroxidation were determined. C allele carriers showed significantly higher triglycerides, VLDL and LDL in plasma, higher cholesterol in VLDL and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), as well as higher plasma fatty acids. Plasma a-tocopherol (but neither -tocopherol, LDL a- and -tocopherol, nor BMC total vitamin E) was significantly increased in C allele carriers as compared to homozygote T allele carriers (P=0.02), but not after adjustment for cholesterol or triglycerides. Plasma malondialdehyde concentrations did not differ between genotypes. In conclusion, higher plasma lipids in the TC+CC genotype are efficiently protected against lipid peroxidation by higher a-tocopherol concentrations. Lipid-standardized vitamin E should be used for reliably assessing vitamin E status in genetic association studies.
