Contribution of hepatic lipase, lipoprotein lipase, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein to LDL and HDL heterogeneity in healthy women.

چکیده
Hepatic lipase (HL) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) have been independently associated with low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) size in different cohorts. These studies have been conducted mainly in men and in subjects with dyslipidemia. Ours is a comprehensive study of the proposed biochemical determinants (lipoprotein lipase, HL, CETP, and triglycerides) and genetic determinants (HL gene [LIPC] and Taq1B) of small dense LDL (sdLDL) and HDL subspecies in a large cohort of 120 normolipidemic, nondiabetic, premenopausal women. HL (P<0.001) and lipoprotein lipase activities (P=0.006) were independently associated with LDL buoyancy, whereas CETP (P=0.76) and triglycerides (P=0.06) were not. The women with more sdLDL had higher HL activity (P=0.007), lower HDL2 cholesterol (P<0.001), and lower frequency of the HL (LIPC) T allele (P=0.034) than did the women with buoyant LDL. The LIPC variant was associated with HL activity (P<0.001), HDL2 cholesterol (P=0.034), and LDL buoyancy (P=0.03), whereas the Taq1B polymorphism in the CETP gene was associated with CETP mass (P=0.002) and HDL3 cholesterol (P=0.039). These results suggest that HL activity and HL gene promoter polymorphism play a significant role in determining LDL and HDL heterogeneity in healthy women without hypertriglyceridemia. Thus, HL is an important determinant of sdLDL and HDL2 cholesterol in normal physiological states as well as in the pathogenesis of various disease processes.

Lipid transfer protein-mediated distribution of HDL-derived cholesteryl esters among plasma apo B-containing lipoprotein subpopulations.
The substrate specificity of lipid transfer protein has been examined in whole plasma in vitro by following the redistribution of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-derived [3H]cholesteryl ester (CE) into apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins using density gradient ultracentrifugation. HDL-derived [3H]CEs were incubated with plasma or isolated lipoprotein classes (very low density lipoprot...
متن کاملDeterminants of LDL subfraction distribution and concentrations in young normolipidemic subjects.
Human low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) comprise a spectrum of particles that vary in size, density, chemical composition, metabolic behavior, and atherogenicity. To identify determinants of this heterogeneity, we measured the percent distribution and plasma concentration of the three major LDL subfractions in 34 young healthy subjects. These parameters were correlated in univariate and multivari...

BACKGROUND Although dyslipoproteinemia is associated with arterial atherothrombosis, little is known about plasma lipoproteins in venous thrombosis patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined plasma lipoprotein subclass concentrations using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and antigenic levels of apolipoproteins AI and B in blood samples from 49 male venous thrombosis patients and matc...
متن کاملLongitudinal study on lipoprotein profile, high density lipoprotein subclass, and postheparin lipases during gestation in women.
To understand the mechanism responsible for maternal hyperlipidemia, 25 healthy pregnant women were studied longitudinally during the three trimesters of gestation and at post-partum, and 11 were studied again at post-lactation. Triglyceride and cholesterol levels increased with gestation in all the lipoprotein fractions. However, the greatest change appeared in low density (LDL) and high densi...

BACKGROUND We have searched if plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration interferes simultaneously with whole-body cholesterol metabolism and insulin sensitivity in normal weight healthy adult subjects. METHODS We have measured the activities of several plasma components that are critically influenced by insulin and that control lipoprotein metabolism in subjects with ...
