Abstract

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels reflect the total number of potentially atherogenic particles that can predict cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study was to assess if the ApoB in obese subjects is associated with inflammatory markers. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 80 obese patients at Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. Of the 80 patients studied, the average age was 38.95 + 8.13 years old. There was a strong positive correlation between ApoB and triglycerides (r=0.44, P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r=0.74, P<0.001), and HOMA-IR (r=0.31, P=0.005). However, no strong correlation with the inflammatory markers were seen; adiponectin (r=-0.23, P=0.41) and Chemerin (r=0.021, P=0.851). In obesity, ApoB is significantly associated with lipid and insulin resistance, as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease
