Effect of dietary cholesterol level on the composition of thoracic duct lymph lipoproteins isolated from nonhuman primates.

چکیده
The effect of two different levels of dietary cholesterol (0.16 mg/Kcal and 0.79 mg/cal) on the composition of thoracic lymph duct lipoproteins was studied in two species of nonhuman primates, Ceropithecus aethiops (African green monkey) and Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus monkey). Diet was infused intraduodenally at a constant rate to facilitate comparisons among animals. The higher level of dietary cholesterol resulted in an increase in the amount of cholesteryl ester in lymph chylomicrons and VLDL. Cholesteryl oleate was the predominant cholesteryl ester present in lymph d less than 1.006 g/ml lipoproteins and it was the predominant cholesteryl ester formed from exogenous radiolabeled cholesterol. The percentage of saturated and monounsaturated cholesteryl esters in lymph chylomicrons and VLDL significantly increased with the higher dietary cholesterol level. The apoprotein distribution of chylomicrons and VLDL was qualitatively similar during infusions of both diets. The apoprotein B of intestinal chylomicrons and VLDL, termed apoprotein B2, was qualitatively similar during low and high cholesterol diet infusion and was significantly smaller than that of plasma LDL apoB, termed apoprotein B1, as indicated by its electrophoretic mobility in SDS-polyacrylamide gels. The major phospholipid present in lymph chylomicrons and VLDL was phosphatidylcholine and the phospholipid composition of the particles was not affected by diet. Lymph d greater than 1.006 g/ml lipoproteins were separated and the cholesterol mass distribution among lipoprotein fractions was found to be similar during both diet infusions. With an increase in the level of dietary cholesterol, the percentage esterification of cholesterol mass and of exogenous cholesterol radioactivity increased in LDL and HDL from lymph. Lymph LDL and HDL contained less free and esterified cholesterol when their composition was compared to that for these lipoproteins in plasma. We conclude that the primary effect of increased dietary cholesterol level was to increase the cholesteryl ester content of all lymph lipoproteins; cholesterol distribution among lymph lipoproteins was unaffected.

Cholesterol absorption and transport in thoracic duct lymph lipoproteins of nonhuman primates. Effect of dietary cholesterol level.
The effect of dietary cholesterol level on cholesterol absorption and its subsequent transport in thoracic duct lymph lipoproteins was studied in two species of nonhuman primates, namely the African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) and the cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis). Each animal served as its own control because each received sequential, intraduodenal infusions of two fat-ric...

Dole and co-workers ( 1 ) reported that the fatty acid composition of serum chylomicrons and other serum lipid classes was remarkably stable despite the feeding of fats of widely different composition. Blomstrand and Dahlbach (2) analyzed the fatty acid composition of human thoracic duct chyle in two subjects after the feeding of fat formulas and observed that lymph triglycerides closely resemb...

Monkeys fed polyunsaturated fat had significantly lower plasma cholesterol (186 +/- 18 vs. 276 +/- 31 mg/dl) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) mass concentrations (466 +/- 28 vs. 518 +/- 34 mg/dl) than did animals fed saturated fat. Plasma apoA-I concentrations also were significantly lower and apoA-II levels were generally, though not significantly, lower in the group fed polyunsaturated fat....
