The poster, titled “Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) Reduces Glucose-induced Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein Oxidation In Vitro in a Manner Distinct from Other Triglyceride-Lowering Agents and Vitamin E,” presents data that shows exposure to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid, inhibited glucose-induced oxidation of small dense LDL. This study examined the effects of EPA and other triglyceride-lowering agents on human sdLDL oxidation following exposure in vitro to hyperglycemic conditions. Exposure to hyperglycemic conditions resulted in a 55% enhance in human sdLDL oxidation as contrast to non-glucose-treated controls as measured by a marker of oxidation (malondialdehyde (MDA)). EPA inhibited this glucose-induced sdLDL oxidation in a dose-dependent fashion and, at the highest concentration tested (10.0 µM), EPA inhibited sdLDL oxidation by 94% contrast to vehicle treated (ethanol) control.
