Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and statins are frequently prescribed in the treatment of CAD to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Since the main enzyme involved in the metabolism of statins is CYP3A4, we aimed to investigate the effect of CYP3A4 * 1B genotypes on plasma lipid profile in Turkish cardiovascular disease subject with and without obesity taking statin. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 85 cardiovascular disease patients who were prescribed statins and had routine biochemical analysis data. Polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay were performed for genotyping of CYP3A4 *1B (rs2740574) polymorphism. Results: Genotype distribution of CYP3A4 *1B polymorphism was found for homozygous wild (AA) and homozygous polymorphic (GG) genotypes as 94.1% and 5.9% respectively. We did not detect patients with heterozygous genotype in our study group. We found that the mean LDL-c, TG and TC levels were higher in patients with CYP3A4 *1B GG compared to AA genotype. The frequency of CYP3A4 *1B GG genotype frequency (9.5%) was detected higher in the obese patients compared to the non-obese patients (7.7%) (χ2=0.037, p=0.85). Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that CYP3A4 *1B homozygous polymorphic genotype distribution tend to be higher in obese patients compared to non- obese patients with cardiovascular disease which may point *1B allele to have a slight effect on serum lipids during statin therapy. Additional studies with higher samples are needed for evaluating the role of CYP3A4 *1B on lipids in patients under statin therapy.

Object: to identify factors that limit the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy of hypertension (HT) with comorbid coronary artery disease (CAD) in elderly obese patients by determining laboratory and spectroscopy features related to inflammation. Material and methods: 60 patients (68.2 ± 5.9 y.o.) were observed and treated in Internal Medicine Department of University Clinic of Odessa National Medical University. Patients were divided into 2 groups. The 1st group included patients (n = 30) with body mass index (BMI) ≤25 kg/m2, HT and co-morbid CAD; the 2nd group (n = 30) - patients with BMI≥30 kg/m2, HT and with co-morbid CAD. For each patient’s group antihypertensive combination of Lisinopril and Bisoprolol was prescribed. The Laser correlation spectroscopy (LCS) was a special method for investigation. Results: before pharmacotherapy (PT) in both groups according to LCS 11-150 nm particles are prevailing. But in obese patients 75th percentile of 31-70 nm particles exceeds that one in non-obese group (56.7% vs 30.5%). During PT systolic blood pressure (SBP) value normalized in the patients of 1st group (without obesity), while in the obese patients (2nd group) SBP remained above target level. Creatinine level increased in patients of  1st group (without obesity) by 16.5 μmol / L (p <0.05) with a decrease in GFR by 17.1 ml/min/1.73 m2 (P <0.05). LCS data during PT show increase of 11-30 nm and decrease of 75-150 nm particles in non-obese patients, while in obese patients 71-150 nm particles are prevailing and 150 nm particles have appeared (p<0.05). Conclusions: 1. In elderly hypertensive patients with concomitant CAD, obesity is a factor limiting the effectiveness of complex antihypertensive therapy. 2. An increase of proportion of allergic-directed and appearance of autoimmune-directed homeostatic shifts in serum according to LCS are associated with a decrease of antihypertensive therapy efficacy in elderly hypertensive patients with CAD and obesity.  3. In hypertensive non-obese patients with CAD under the influence of complex antihypertensive therapy deteriorating of renal function is observed while in obesity renal function is not changed. 4. Homeostatic changes revealed in the second group by LCS values probably reflect manifestation of  low grade inflammatory process caused by excessive activity of adipose tissue.
