Cover Story: The exposure to air pollutants is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, especially in obesity. Air particulate matter (PM) triggers inflammation and oxidative stress, which could impact the atheroprotective functions of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Thus, the relationship between short-term exposure to PM and HDL function and the possible modifying effect of body mass index (BMI) were assessed. In subjects with normal BMI, a compensatory response was observed: HDL function increased with exposure to higher concentrations of PM. However, this compensatory response was progressively lost at increasing BMI levels. These results suggest that an impaired atheroprotection by HDL could contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk of susceptible subjects exposed to air pollutants.
