Abstract

Summary: Background and aims: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects around 20–30% of adults worldwide. An association between IDA and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported. Oxidative stress, inflammation and low concentration of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) were implicated on endothelial dysfunction and CVD in IDA. We studied the effects of iron deficiency and of an intravenous iron administration on oxidative stress and HDL characteristics in IDA women. Methods: Two studies in IDA women are presented: a case–control study, including 18 patients and 18 age-matched healthy women, and a follow-up study 72hr after the administration of intravenous iron (n = 16). Lipids, malondialdehyde, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and HDL chemical composition and functionality (cholesterol efflux and antioxidative activity) were measured. Cell cholesterol efflux from iron-deficient macrophages to a reference HDL was also evaluated. Results: IDA patients showed higher triglycerides and CETP activity and lower HDL-C than controls (all p < 0.001). HDL particles from IDA patients showed higher triglyceride content (+30%, p < 0.05) and lower antioxidative capacity (−23%, p < 0.05). Although HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux was similar between the patients and controls, iron deficiency provoked a significant reduction in macrophage cholesterol efflux (−25%, p < 0.05). Arylesterase activity of PON-1 was significantly lower in IDA patients than controls (−16%, p < 0.05). The intravenous administration of iron was associated with a decrease in malondialdehyde levels and an increase in arylesterase activity of PON-1 (−22% and +18%, respectively, p < 0.05). Conclusion: IDA is associated with oxidative stress and functionally deficient HDL particles. It remains to be determined if such alterations suffice to impair endothelial function in IDA. Highlights: Women with iron deficiency anemia showed HDL particles with altered composition and functionality. Iron administration increased paraoxonase-1 activity, HDL antioxidative enzyme. Iron would be necessary to preserve HDL function and to prevent oxidative stress.
