African Ancestry Gradient Is Associated with Lower Systemic F(2)-Isoprostane Levels
Context. Low levels of systemic F(2)-isoprostanes (F(2)-IsoP) increase the risk of diabetes and weight gain and were found in African Americans. Low F(2)-IsoPs could reflect an unfavorable metabolic characteristic, namely, slow mitochondrial metabolism in individuals with African ancestry. Objective...

description | Context. Low levels of systemic F(2)-isoprostanes (F(2)-IsoP) increase the risk of diabetes and weight gain and were found in African Americans. Low F(2)-IsoPs could reflect an unfavorable metabolic characteristic, namely, slow mitochondrial metabolism in individuals with African ancestry. Objective. To examine differences in plasma F(2)-IsoPs in three groups with a priori different proportion of African ancestry: non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), US-born African Americans (AAs), and West African immigrants (WAI). Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. Georgia residents recruited from church communities. Participants. 218 males and females 25–74 years of age, who are self-identified as NHW (n = 83), AA (n = 56), or WAI (n = 79). Main Outcome Measure(s). Plasma F(2)-IsoPs quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results. After adjustment for age, gender, obesity, and other comorbidities, WAI had lower levels of plasma F(2)-IsoP than AA (beta-coefficient = −9.8, p < 0.001) and AA had lower levels than NHW (beta-coefficient = −30.3, p < 0.001). Similarly, among healthy nonobese participants, F(2)-IsoP levels were lowest among WAI, followed by AA, and the highest levels were among NHW. Conclusion. Plasma F(2)-IsoPs are inversely associated with African ancestry gradient. Additional studies are required to test whether optimization of systemic F(2)-IsoP levels can serve as means to improve race-specific lifestyle and pharmacological intervention targeted to obesity prevention and treatment. |
