Transport of apolipoproteins A-I and A-II by human thoracic duct lymph.

چکیده
The daily transport of human plasma apolipoproteins A-I and A-II, triglyceride, and total cholesterol from the thoracic duct lymph into plasma was measured in two subjects before and three subjects after renal transplantation. Lymph triglyceride transport was approximately 83% of the daily ingested fat loads, whereas lymph cholesterol transport was consistently greater than the amount of daily ingested cholesterol. Lymph apolipoprotein transport significantly (P < 0.05) exceeded the predicted apolipoprotein synthesis rate by an average of 659+/-578 mg/d for apolipoprotein A-I and 109+/-59 mg/d for apolipoprotein A-II among the five subjects. It is estimated that 22-77% (apolipoprotein A-I) and 28-82% (apolipoprotein A-II) of daily total body apolipoprotein synthesis takes place in the intestine. Lymph high density lipoprotein particles are mostly high density lipoprotein(2b) and high density lipoprotein(2a) and have a greater overall relative triglyceride content and a smaller relative cholesteryl ester content when compared with homologous plasma high density lipoproteins. The major quantity of both lymph apolipoprotein A-I (81+/-8%) and apolipoprotein A-II (90+/-11%) was found within high density lipoproteins with almost all of the remainder found in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. The combined results are consistent with a major contribution of the intestine to total body synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein A-II. An important role of lymph in returning filtered apolipoprotein to plasma in association with high density lipoproteins is proposed. Accompanying the return of filtered apolipoprotein to the plasma is a probable transformation, both in size and composition, of at least some of the lymph high density lipoprotein(2b) and high density lipoprotein(2a) particles into high density lipoprotein(3).

The effect of fat feeding (100 g of cream) on the apoA-I isoproteins distribution has been analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in the chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL isolated from the thoracic duct lymph of patients undergoing lymph drainage for immunosuppression, Isoforms apoA-I3 and apoA-I4 are the most abundant apoA-I isoproteins in plasma lipoproteins as well as in lymph lipopr...

Deposition of lipids during development of atherosclerosis may come from extracellular fluid rather than directly from plasma. The lipoprotein composition of lymph thus assumes importance in the genesis of atherosclerosis. The predominant component found in thoracic duct lymph was the —Si.21 4 and 7, with lesser amounts of the 23. It was similar qualitatively but not quantitatively to dog's ser...

Lymph dynamics in idiopathic portal hypertension has been studied in two phases. In the first phase thoracic duct lymph transport was studied in 11 patients with idiopathic portal hypertension by cannulating the duct. This revealed altered lymph transport in the form of a distended thoracic duct, raised pressure in the duct, and haemorrhagic lymph with an increased flow rate. The lymph flow rat...

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....
