چکیده
The role of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in the generation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) was investigated. Intravenous injections of high titer goat antiserum against highly purified chicken LPL into fasted roosters quantitatively blocks the removal of plasma VLDL triglyceride (1976. J. Lipid Res. 17: 498-505). Analyses of the chemical components of lipoproteins after 8 hr of LPL inhibition showed that the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) concentration increased over 10-fold, while LDL and HDL concentrations decreased by 5-fold and 48%, respectively. LDL and HDL cholesterol levels decreased logarithmically over the 8-hr period, with half-lives of 2.4 and 6 hr, respectively. The composition of these lipoprotein fractions on a percent weight basis changed significantly. Experimental LDL contained 37% less phospholipid, 64% less cholesterol, and 2.3-fold more triglyceride than control LDL. Experimental HDL contained 3.1-fold more triglyceride and 50% less unesterified cholesterol than control HDL. The Stokes' radii of HDL were determined by gel filtration on Biogel A5M and Ultrogel AcA 22: the radius of experimental HDL (44.9 A) was smaller than that of control HDL (55.4 A). These measurements were confirmed by electron microscopy (43 and 54 A, respectively). After rate zonal ultracentrifugations of plasma samples, control LDL was clearly resolved, while no LDL could be detected in the experimental samples. Rate zonal ultracentrifugations of plasma samples also indicated that control HDL had a higher flotation rate than experimental HDL. Equilibrium zonal ultracentrifugation showed experimental HDL to be more dense than control HDL with hydrated densities of 1.118 and 1.113 g/ml, respectively. These experiments provide in vivo evidence that LDL is a direct metabolic product of VLDL and that LPL plays a role in the transfer of surface constituents from VLDL to HDL.-Behr, S. R., J. R.

Defective in vitro lipolysis of type IV hyperlipidemic human plasma by purified milk lipoprotein lipase. Studies by single vertical spin centrifugation.
In vitro interactions of purified lipoprotein lipase with plasma from type IV hyperlipidemic and normolipidemic subjects were studied using an automated cholesterol analysis adaptation to single vertical spin centrifugation. Lipolysis for 60 min of normolipidemic plasma (control) supplemented with autologous very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) resulted in a progressive conversion of VLDL to low...
متن کاملConversion of human plasma high density lipoprotein-2 to high density lipoprotein-3. Roles of neutral lipid exchange and triglyceride lipases.
Cholesterol esters accumulating in human plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) are important in conversion of HDL3 to larger HDL2. We studied whether mechanisms of removal of cholesterol esters from HDL might be important in a reverse direction, i.e. conversion of HDL2 to HDL3. Native HDL2 or HDL3 is incubated with very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and lipoprotein-poor plasma (d greater tha...
متن کاملChanges in Biochemical Parameters Related to Lipid Metabolism Following Lithium Treatment in Rat
Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...
متن کاملFormation of high density lipoprotein2-like particles during lipolysis of very low density lipoproteins in vitro.
The effects of lipolysis of human plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) on the structure and composition of high density lipoproteins (HDL) have been investigated. Lipolysis was performed in a controlled system in vitro containing VLDL (d less than 1.006 g/ml) and HDL3 (d = 1.125-1.210 g/ml) from human plasma and lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) purified from bovine milk. Lipolysis of VLDL...
متن کاملFish oil -- how does it reduce plasma triglycerides?
Long chain omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) are effective for reducing plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. At the pharmaceutical dose, 3.4g/day, they reduce plasma TG by about 25-50% after one month of treatment, resulting primarily from the decline in hepatic very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-TG) production, and secondarily from the increase in VLDL clearance. Numerous mechanisms have been shown to con...
