AB  - Purpose: End-stage renal disease patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) have a shortened life expectancy compared to the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible link between three new and emerging factors in renal pathophysiology: Klotho protein, telomere length in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (TL) and redox status parameters before HD (bHD) and after HD (aHD), and to test mortality prediction capability of these emerging parameters in a population of HD patients. Methods: The study included 130 adult patients with average age 66 (54–72), on HD (3 times per week; 4–5 h per session). Klotho level, TL, routine laboratory parameters, dialysis adequacy and redox status parameters: advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), prooxidant–antioxidant balance (PAB), superoxide anion (O2.−), malondialdehyde (MDA), ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), total sulfhydryl group content (SHG), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined. Results: Klotho concentration was significantly higher aHD; 68.2 (22.6–152.9) vs. bHD 64.2 (25.5–119.8) (p = 0.027). The observed increase in TL was not statistically significant. AOPP, PAB, SHG, and SOD activity were significantly increased aHD (p > 0.001). The patients with the highest mortality risk score (MRS) had significantly higher PAB bHD (p = 0.002). Significantly lower O2.− (p < 0.001), SHG content (p = 0.072), and IMA (p = 0.002) aHD were found in patients with the lowest MRS values. Principal component analysis revealed redox balance-Klotho factor as a significant predictor of high mortality risk (p = 0.014). Conclusion: Decreased Klotho and TL attrition as well as redox status disturbance could be connected with higher mortality rate in HD patients.

AB  - Disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and glucose homeostasis are common consequences of insulin resistance and usually co-segregate in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Insulin-resistant subjects are characterized by atherogenic dyslipidemia, a specific lipid pattern which includes hypertriglyceridemia, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and increased proportion of small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Chronic hyperglycemia favors the processes of non-enzymatic glycation, leading to the increased production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Apart from direct harmful effects, AGEs are also potent inducers of oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition, increased AGEs’ production may induce further qualitative modifications of small, dense LDL particles, converting them to glycated LDLs. These particles are even more atherogenic and may confer an increased cardiovascular risk. In this narrative review, we summarize the available evidence of the pathophysiological role and clinical importance of circulating AGEs and glycated LDLs in patients with dyslipidemia, particularly those with DM and related complications. In addition, we discuss recent advances and the issues that should be improved regarding laboratory assessment of AGEs and glycated LDLs, as well as the possibilities for their therapeutic modulation.

AB  - Background. Metabolic alterations, particularly disorders of lipoprotein metabolism in COVID-19, may affect the course and outcome of the disease. This study aims at evaluating the lipoprotein profile and redox status in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with different pneumonia severity and their association with lethal outcomes. Methods. The prospective cohort study was performed on 98 COVID-19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe pneumonia. Lipid and inflammatory parameters, lipoprotein subclasses, and redox status biomarkers were determined at the study entry and after one week. Results. Compared to patients with mild and moderate pneumonia, severely ill patients had higher oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and malondialdehyde levels and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and paraoxonase 1 activity. Reduction in the proportion of large HDL 2a subclasses with a concomitant increase in the proportion of smallest HDL 3c and small dense LDL (sdLDL) particles was observed in patients with severe disease during the time. However, these changes were reversed in the mild and moderate groups. The results showed a positive association between changes in oxLDL and total antioxidative status. However, prooxidants and antioxidants in plasma were lower in patients with lethal outcomes. Conclusions. Increased levels of oxLDL and sdLDL particles may contribute to the severity of COVID-19. The role of oxidative stress should be clarified in further studies, mainly its association with lethal outcomes.

AB  - Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease,
present in up to 30% of the adult population worldwide (1). Triglycerides accumulation in
hepatocytes (steatosis) represents the root cause of NAFLD and is associated with oxidative
stress, which could further lead to fibrosis and cell death of hepatocytes (2). The aim of this
research was to identify redox status markers for predicting the risk of developing steatosis.
158 participants were included. Steatosis was confirmed by ultrasound in 101 subjects,
while the remaining 57 were in the control group. The following markers of redox status
were determined in serum and plasma samples of all subjects: superoxide dismutase 1
(SOD1), paraoxonase (PON1), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide anion (O2.-). For this
purpose, spectrophotometric methods and enzyme immunosorbent assays were used. SOD1
was statistically significantly higher (P<0.001), while O2 .- was significantly lower in the
patient group (P<0.001). SOD1 was significantly negatively correlated with O2.- (ρ= -0.494,
P<0.001) and MDA (ρ= -0.242, P=0.002). Univariate binary logistic regression analysis
showed a positive association between SOD1 and the presence of steatosis (OR=1.018, 95%
CI 1.005-1.031; P=0.005), as well as a negative association between O2 .- and the presence of
steatosis (OR=0.959, 95% CI 0.941-0.978; P<0.001). Multivariate analysis singled out SOD1
(OR=1.024, 95% CI 1.006-1.041; P=0.007) and O2.- (OR=0.965, 95% CI 0.942-0.989;
P=0.004) as independent predictors for the presence of steatosis in our subjects. The redox
status parameters, SOD1 and O2, respectively, showed a positive and negative prediction of
the presence of statosis in our subjects.

Steatoza je potvrđena ultrazvukom kod 101 ispitanika, dok je preostalih 57 činilo kontrolnu
grupu. U uzorcima seruma i plazme svih ispitanika određeni su sledeći markeri redoks
statusa: superoksid dismutaza 1 (SOD1), paraoksonaza (PON1), malondialdehid (MDA) i
superoksidni anjon (O2.-). U tu svrhu korišćene su spektrofotometrijske metode i enzimski
imunosorbentni testovi. SOD1 je bila statistički značajno viša (P<0,001), dok O 2.- značajno
niži u grupi pacijenata (P<0,001), dok se PON1 i MDA nisu značajno razlikovali između
grupa. SOD1 je bila u značajnoj negativnoj korelaciji sa O 2.- (ρ=-0,494, P<0,001) i MDA (ρ= -
0,242, P=0,002). Univarijatna binarna logistička regresiona analiza je pokazala pozitivnu
asocijaciju između SOD1 i prisustva steatoze (OR=1,018, 95% CI 1,005-1,031; P=0,005), kao i
negativnu asocijaciju između O 2.- i prisustva steatoze (OR=0,959, 95% CI 0,941-0,978;
P<0,001). Multivarijantna analiza je izdvojila SOD1 (OR=1,024, 95% CI 1,006-1,041;
P=0,007) i O2.- (OR=0,965, 95% CI 0,942-0,989; P=0,004) kao nezavisne prediktore za
prisustvo steatoze kod naših ispitanika. Parametri redoks statusa, SOD1 i O 2.- redom, su
pokazali pozitivnu, odnosno negativnu predikciju prisustva statoze kod naših ispitanika.

superoksidni anjon (O2.-). U tu svrhu korišćene su spektrofotometrijske metode i enzimski
imunosorbentni testovi. SOD1 je bila statistički značajno viša (P<0,001), dok O 2.- značajno
niži u grupi pacijenata (P<0,001), dok se PON1 i MDA nisu značajno razlikovali između
grupa. SOD1 je bila u značajnoj negativnoj korelaciji sa O 2.- (ρ=-0,494, P<0,001) i MDA (ρ= -
0,242, P=0,002). Univarijatna binarna logistička regresiona analiza je pokazala pozitivnu
asocijaciju između SOD1 i prisustva steatoze (OR=1,018, 95% CI 1,005-1,031; P=0,005), kao i
negativnu asocijaciju između O 2.- i prisustva steatoze (OR=0,959, 95% CI 0,941-0,978;
P<0,001). Multivarijantna analiza je izdvojila SOD1 (OR=1,024, 95% CI 1,006-1,041;
P=0,007) i O2.- (OR=0,965, 95% CI 0,942-0,989; P=0,004) kao nezavisne prediktore za
prisustvo steatoze kod naših ispitanika. Parametri redoks statusa, SOD1 i O 2.- redom, su
pokazali pozitivnu, odnosno negativnu predikciju prisustva statoze kod naših ispitanika.",

AB  - Background and Objectives: Diabetic foot (DF) development is driven by complex interactions of hyperglycemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress (OS). We aimed to investigate OS and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with DF and their potential to improve early diagnosis and management of DF. Materials and Methods: The prooxidant–antioxidant balance (PAB), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total oxidative status (TOS), total sulfhydryl groups (SHG), routine biochemical parameters, and complete blood count were determined in 42 patients with type-2 DM, of which 23 patients had DF, while 19 patients were without DF complications. The neutrophils-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was evaluated as a biomarker of inflammation. Results: Patients with DF had significantly higher (p < 0.05) PAB levels (170 ± 33.9 U/L) compared to those without DF complications (142 ± 31.3 U/L). In addition, patients with DF had significantly reduced SOD activities (p < 0.01). NLR values were significantly higher in the DF group (median: 2.8; interquartile range: 2.0–4.3) than in the group without DF (median: 1.4; interquartile range: 1.4–2.1; p < 0.01). A positive correlation was found between the PAB and NLR index (r = 0.449; p < 0.05). The diagnostic accuracy of both PAB (AUC = 0.741; p < 0.01) and NLR (AUC = 0.760; p < 0.01) was estimated as acceptable. Conclusions: In conclusion, the development of DF is associated with enhanced OS and inflammation processes. PAB and NLR could be useful non-invasive biomarkers of DF development.

AB  - Metabolic disorders in pregnancy, particularly gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), are associated with an increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcome and long-term cardiometabolic health of mother and child. This study analyzed changes of serum cholesterol synthesis and absorption markers during the course of high-risk pregnancies, with respect to the development of GDM. Possible associations of maternal lipid biomarkers with neonatal characteristics were also investigated. The study included 63 women with high risk for development of pregnancy complications. Size and proportions of small low-density (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles were assessed across trimesters (T1–T3), as well as concentrations of cholesterol synthesis (lathosterol, desmosterol) and absorption markers (campesterol, β-sitosterol). During the study, 15 women developed GDM, while 48 had no complications (non-GDM). As compared to the non-GDM group, women with GDM had significantly higher triglycerides in each trimester, while having a lower HDL-C level in T3. In addition, they had significantly lower levels of β-sitosterol in T3 (p < 0.05). Cholesterol synthesis markers increased across trimesters in both groups. A decrease in serum β-sitosterol levels during the course of pregnancies affected by GDM was observed. The prevalence of small-sized HDL decreased in non-GDM, while in the GDM group remained unchanged across trimesters. Newborn’s size in the non-GDM group was significantly higher (p < 0.01) and inversely associated with proportions of both small, dense LDL and HDL particles (p < 0.05) in maternal plasma in T1. In conclusion, high-risk pregnancies affected by GDM are characterized by altered cholesterol absorption and HDL maturation. Advanced lipid testing may indicate disturbed lipid homeostasis in GDM.

AB  - Introduction  The aim of this study was to investigate lipoprotein particle distributions and the likelihood of achieving cholesterol homeostasis in the remission phase of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in paediatric patients. We hypothesized that lipoprotein particle distributions moved toward less atherogenic profile and that cholesterol homeostasis was achieved. Materials and methods  Thirty-three children, 2 to 9 years old with NS were recruited. Blood sampling took place both in the acute phase and during remission. Serum low-density lipoprotein particles (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL) were separated using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel (3-31%) electrophoresis. Serum non-cholesterols sterols (NCSs), desmosterol, lathosterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC), campesterol and β-sitosterol were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Results  All patients had desirable serum HDL cholesterol concentrations during remission. The dominant lipoprotein diameters and LDL subclass distribution did not change significantly during follow-up. In contrast, HDL lipoprotein particle distribution shifted towards larger particles. The absolute concentration of desmosterol was significantly lower during remission (P = 0.023). β-sitosterol concentration markedly increased during remission (P = 0.005). Desmosterol/β-sitosterol (P < 0.001) and 7-DHC/β-sitosterol (P = 0.005) ratios significantly declined during disease remission. Conclusions  Favourable changes in the serum lipid profiles, HDL particle subclass distribution and cholesterol metabolism in paediatric patients with NS during remission took place. For the first time, we found that cholesterol homeostasis changed in favour of increased cholesterol absorption during disease remission. Nevertheless, complete cholesterol homeostasis was not achieved during disease remission.

AB  - Insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation are
mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis development in non-
pregnant state, but in pregnancy they are adaptive mechanisms responsible for fetal
development without health risks for mothers. A special feature of lipids profile in pregnancy
is increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration. Protective role of
HDL particles resides on its complex composition that goes beyond its cholesterol
concentration and exhibits vasodilatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
antithrombogenic effects. Even the importance of HDL functionality in pathogenesis of
cardiovascular disease has been investigated and confirmed its role in persevering metabolic
health in pregnancy are almost unexplored. Project "HDL research to improve pregnancy
outcome" investigate the pattern of HDL particle distribution and functionality (HDL-ome)
with different pregnancy outcomes. With the sophisticated analytical methods we determine
HDL-ome in uncomplicated and high-risk pregnancies. We mark the HDL-ome component
with a different pattern of change during high-risk pregnancies and test their potential for
pregnancy complications risk assessment. In this this research we investigate molecular
mechanisms crucial for HDL remodelling during pregnancy and possible associations
between maternal metabolic health during pregnancy and maternal and child health in the
future. Such comprehensive approach will provide a better insight into HDL role in maternal
metabolic health during pregnancy and will open a door for further research in this area.
AB  - Insulinska rezistencija, hiperlipidemija, oksidativni stress i stanje inflamacije niskog
stepena, koji se u negravidnom stanju povezuju sa razvojem endotelne disfunkcije i
aterosklerozom, u trudnoći predstavljaju adaptivne mehanizme koji omogućavaju pravilan
rast i razvoj fetusa, a ne ugrožavaju zdravlje trudnice. Specifičnost dislipidemije koja se
razvija u trudnoći, a koja nije karakteristična za dislipidemiju u negravidnim stanjima, jeste
porast koncentracije holesterola u lipoproteinskim česticama visoke gustine (high density
lipoprotein, HDL). Međutim, HDL je mnogo više od sadržaja holesterola u njemu. Ovaj
lipoprotein ima izuzetno kompleksnu i heterogenu strukturu i ispoljava vazodilatatorne,
antioksidativne, antiinflamatorne i antitrombogene efekte. Iako je gubitak funkcionalnosti
ovog lipoproteina u patogenezi kardiovaskularnih bolesti detaljno ispitan i potvrđen,
njegova uloga u očuvanju metaboličkog zdravlja u trudnoći još uvek nije rasvetljena. Projekat
"Ispitivanje HDL-metaboloma u cilju unapređenja ishoda trudnoće" bavi se istraživanjem
povezanosti obrazaca promena strukture i funkcionalnosti HDL (HDL-om) sa različitim
ishodima trudnoće. Sofisticiranim analitičkim metodama, određuje se HDL-om u
visokorizičnim trudnoćama, kao i trudnoćama bez komplikacija. Izdvajaju se komponente
HDL-oma koje imaju drugačiji obrazac promene tokom visoko rizičnih trudnoća i ispituje se
njihov značaj u proceni rizika za razvoj komplikacija u trudnoći. Poseban aspekt ovog
istraživanja odnosi se na ispitivanje molekularnih mehanizama ključnih za remodelovanje
HDL tokom trudnoće, kao i potencijalne povezanosti metaboličkog statusa majke tokom

abstract = "Insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation are
mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis development in non-
pregnant state, but in pregnancy they are adaptive mechanisms responsible for fetal
development without health risks for mothers. A special feature of lipids profile in pregnancy
is increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration. Protective role of
HDL particles resides on its complex composition that goes beyond its cholesterol
concentration and exhibits vasodilatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
antithrombogenic effects. Even the importance of HDL functionality in pathogenesis of
cardiovascular disease has been investigated and confirmed its role in persevering metabolic
health in pregnancy are almost unexplored. Project "HDL research to improve pregnancy
outcome" investigate the pattern of HDL particle distribution and functionality (HDL-ome)
with different pregnancy outcomes. With the sophisticated analytical methods we determine
HDL-ome in uncomplicated and high-risk pregnancies. We mark the HDL-ome component
with a different pattern of change during high-risk pregnancies and test their potential for
pregnancy complications risk assessment. In this this research we investigate molecular
mechanisms crucial for HDL remodelling during pregnancy and possible associations
between maternal metabolic health during pregnancy and maternal and child health in the
future. Such comprehensive approach will provide a better insight into HDL role in maternal
metabolic health during pregnancy and will open a door for further research in this area., Insulinska rezistencija, hiperlipidemija, oksidativni stress i stanje inflamacije niskog
stepena, koji se u negravidnom stanju povezuju sa razvojem endotelne disfunkcije i
aterosklerozom, u trudnoći predstavljaju adaptivne mehanizme koji omogućavaju pravilan
rast i razvoj fetusa, a ne ugrožavaju zdravlje trudnice. Specifičnost dislipidemije koja se
razvija u trudnoći, a koja nije karakteristična za dislipidemiju u negravidnim stanjima, jeste
porast koncentracije holesterola u lipoproteinskim česticama visoke gustine (high density
lipoprotein, HDL). Međutim, HDL je mnogo više od sadržaja holesterola u njemu. Ovaj
lipoprotein ima izuzetno kompleksnu i heterogenu strukturu i ispoljava vazodilatatorne,
antioksidativne, antiinflamatorne i antitrombogene efekte. Iako je gubitak funkcionalnosti
ovog lipoproteina u patogenezi kardiovaskularnih bolesti detaljno ispitan i potvrđen,
njegova uloga u očuvanju metaboličkog zdravlja u trudnoći još uvek nije rasvetljena. Projekat
"Ispitivanje HDL-metaboloma u cilju unapređenja ishoda trudnoće" bavi se istraživanjem
povezanosti obrazaca promena strukture i funkcionalnosti HDL (HDL-om) sa različitim
ishodima trudnoće. Sofisticiranim analitičkim metodama, određuje se HDL-om u
visokorizičnim trudnoćama, kao i trudnoćama bez komplikacija. Izdvajaju se komponente
HDL-oma koje imaju drugačiji obrazac promene tokom visoko rizičnih trudnoća i ispituje se
njihov značaj u proceni rizika za razvoj komplikacija u trudnoći. Poseban aspekt ovog
istraživanja odnosi se na ispitivanje molekularnih mehanizama ključnih za remodelovanje
HDL tokom trudnoće, kao i potencijalne povezanosti metaboličkog statusa majke tokom
trudnoće sa budućim kardiometaboličkim zdravljem majke i deteta. Ovako opsežno
ispitivanje trebalo bi da pruži jasniji prikaz uloge HDL u očuvanju metaboličkog zdravlja
tokom trudnoće i, kao takvo, predstavljaće polaznu tačku za dalja istraživanja u ovoj oblasti.",

AB  - Non-enzymatic glycation, oxidative stress (OS) and dyslipidemia are the main
metabolic alterations behind the development of macrovascular
complications (cardiovascular diseases) of diabetes mellitus (DM).
However, clinical relevance of biomarkers of these processes in patients with microvascular
complications (nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy) is less understood. Therefore, the aim
of this study was to examine advanced glycation products (AGEs), biomarkers of OS, and
dyslipidemia in 100 DM patients (33 without microvascular complications and 77 with
complications) and 30 subjects without DM. AGEs levels were higher in patients with
complications than in those without complications (median: 5.72; interquartile range: 4.60-
6.54 U/mL vs. median: 4.84; interquartile range: 4.10-5.40 U/L; P<0.05). In addition to
AGEs, the group with diabetic retinopathy had higher plasma total antioxidant capacity
(P<0.05), while the group with diabetic nephropathy had smaller LDL size than the patients
without these complications (25.48±1.26 nm vs. 26.21±1.19 nm; P<0.05). The patients
with co-existing cardiovascular disease were further characterized by dysfunctional HDL
particles, as evidenced by increased small HDL particles (P<0.05) and reduced paraoxonase-
1 activities. Significant increase in both pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance and ischemia-
modified albumin (P<0.05), with simultaneously decreased activity of superoxide-dismutase
(P<0.05) was found in patients with progressive diabetic neuropathy, indicating the highest
degree of oxidative damage. It can be concluded that patients with microvascular
complications of DM have aggravated redox imbalance and lipid profile alterations. In
addition to metabolic control, strategies aimed at lowering OS and correcting dyslipidemia
can contribute to the prevention of microvascular complications of diabetes.

kod pacijenata sa mikrovaskularnim komplikacijama (retinopatija, nefropatija, neuropatija)
nije dovoljno razjašnjen. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio ispitivanje produkata uznapredovale
glikacije (AGE), biomarkera OS i dislipidemije kod 100 pacijenata sa DM (33 bez
mikrovaskularnih komplikacija i 77 sa komplikacijama) i 30 ispitanika bez DM. Nivo
cirkulišućih AGE je bio značajno viši u grupi pacijenata sa komplikacijama (medijana: 5,72;
interkvartilni raspon: 4,60-6,54 U/mL) u odnosu na pacijente bez komplikacija (medijana:
4,84; interkvartilni raspon 4,10-5,40 U/L; P<0,05). Pored povišenih koncentracija AGE,
pacijenti sa dijabetesnom retinopatijom su imali i povišene vrednosti totalnog oksidativnog

(25,48±1,26 nm) u poređenju sa sa pacijentima bez komplikacija (26,21±1,19 nm;
P<0,05). Nadalje, kod pacijenata sa pridruženim makrovaskularnim komplikacijama
(kardiovaskularnim bolestima) utvrđeno je prisustvo disfunkcionalnih HDL čestica, na
osnovu povećanog udela malih HDL čestica (P<0.05) i smanjene aktivnosti paroksonaze-
1. Pacijenti sa progresivnom dijabetesnom neuropatijom su imali značajno povišene
vrednosti prooksidativno-antioksidativnog balansa i ishemijom modifikovanog albumina
(P<0,05), uz istovremeno sniženje aktivnosti superoksid-dismutaze (P<0,05), što ukazuje da
je stepen oksidativnog oštećenja u ovoj grupi bio najveći. Može se zaključiti da, pored
adekvatne metaboliče kontrole, strategije usmerene ka sniženju OS i korekciji dislipidemije,
mogu doprineti prevenciji razvoja mikrovaskularnih komplikacija dijabetesa.

AB  - Diabetic foot (DF) is one of the most severe complications of diabetes that significantly
reduces the quality of life and survival of patients. Besides firmly established risk factors, novel
data indicate that alterations in lipid metabolism might also be implicated in the development and
progression of DF. Diabetic dyslipidemia is characterized by the atherogenic triad, consisting of
increased triglycerides (TG), decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and
the presence of small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Accumulating evidence
suggests that profound hypertriglyceridemia and HDL-C reduction are common findings in
patients with diabetic neuropathy and significantly contribute to an increased risk for DF,
amputation and mortality. Small, dense LDL particles play an important role in the development
of cardiovascular complications of diabetes, but their clinical importance in patients with DF
remains to be established. In this paper, we will discuss the significance of standard and novel
lipid biomarker determination in the assessment of the risk for the development and progression
of DF.

AB  - Background:Propolis  and  N-acetylcysteine  have  positiveimpact  on  respiratory  tract  health.  Also,  it  has  been  sug-gested that they have beneficial effects on serum lipid andoxidative  stress  status,  but  the  available  data  are  limitedand  mostly  gained  from  animal  models.  In  this  study  weevaluated the effects of propolis and N-acetylcysteine sup-plementation  (PropoMucil®)  on  lipid  status,  lipoproteinsubclasses  distribution  and  paraoxonase  1  activity  in  sub-jects with acute respiratory infection.Methods:Twenty  subjects  with  acute  respiratory  infectionwere included. PropoMucil®granules for oral solution (80mg of dry propolis extract and 200 mg of N-acetylcysteine)were administered tree times per day for ten days. Serumlipid  profile,  paraoxonase  1  activity  and  low-density  andhigh-density  lipoprotein  size  and  subclasses  distributionwere assessed at baseline and after supplementation.Results:Following ten days of supplementation lipid statusremained  unchanged,  but  a  significant  increase  of  low-density lipoprotein particle size and proportion of high-den-sity   lipoprotein   3a   particles   were   found   (P<0.05).Moreover, supplementation with PropoMucil®significantlyimproved  high-density  lipoprotein  particles  distribution, particularly  in  those  who  smoke.  There  was  a  moderateincrease  of  paraoxonase  1  activity,  but  without  statisticalsignificance.Conclusions:The presented study demonstrated that short-term  supplementation  with  PropoMucil®has  beneficialeffects  on  low-density  and  high-density  lipoprotein  sub-classes  distribution  and  paraoxonase  1  activity  in  subjectswith  acute  respiratory  infection  particularly  in  those  whosmoke.
AB  - Uvod: Propolis i N-acetilcistein pozitivno utiču na zdravlje disajnih puteva.

U ovom istraživanju, procenili smo kombinovani efekat propolisa i N-acetilcisteina (PropoMucil®) na status lipida, raspodelu supklasa lipoproteina i aktivnost paraoksonaze 1 kod pacijenata sa akutnom respiratornom infekcijom (ARI). Metode: Uključeno je 20 ispitanika sa akutnom respiratornom infekcijom. Oralni rastvor praška PropoMucil® (80 mg suvog ekstrakta propolisa i 200 mg N-acetilcisteina) je aplikovan 3 puta dnevno tokom 10 dana. Serumski lipidni profil, aktivnost praoksonaze 1 i veličina i raspodela supfrakcija lipoproteina niske gustine i lipoproteina visoke gustine su određeni pre i nakon suplementacije. Rezultati: Nakon deset dana suplementacije, lipidni status je ostao nepromenjen, ali je utvrđeno značajno povećanje veličine lipoproteina niske gustine i relativnog udela lipoproteina visoke gustine 3a (P <0,05). Pored toga, suplementacija PropoMucil®-om značajno je poboljšala distribuciju lipoproteinskih čestica visoke gustine, posebno kod pacijenata koji puše.

Zaključak: Studija je pokazala da kratkotrajna suplementacija PropoMucil®-om ima korisne efekte na distribuciju supklasa lipoproteina niske i visoke gustine i aktivnost paraoksonaze 1 kod ispitanika sa akutnom respiratornom infekcijom, posebno kod onih koji puše.
