چکیده

Rat high density lipoproteins (HDL) were labeled with a series of phosphatidylcholines and ether analogs of phosphatidylcholine. The rates of turnover of the phosphatidylcholine ethers in the rat decreased as a function of increasing hydrophobicity and were more than five times faster than those of apolipoprotein A-I turnover and spontaneous lipid transfer. The major tissue sites for uptake were the liver, adrenals, and ovaries. The rate of turnover of a phosphatidylcholine was faster than that of the corresponding ether analog due to the action of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, although this activity was slow compared to the turnover of high density lipoprotein-phosphatidylcholine. Injection of a purified human phosphatidylcholine transfer protein increased the turnover rate of a phosphatidylcholine and its ether analog. We conclude that a major route for the turnover of plasma high density lipoprotein-phosphatidylcholine in the rat is independent of spontaneous lipid transfer, hydrolysis, and HDL particle uptake, and that it involves the activity of a plasma phosphatidylcholine transfer protein.

Plasma lipoproteins in normal and preeclamptic pregnant women

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It is the cause of high morbidity and mortality for mothers and fetuses, especially in developing countries. The etiology of preeclampsia is unknown. One of the hypothesis on pathophysiology of preeclampsia is dyslipidemia. The aim of this study was to determine maternal plasma levels of lipoproteins in patients with...

A role for hepatic lipase in chylomicron and high density lipoprotein phospholipid metabolism.

The rate of removal of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine from the plasma of rats treated with antiserum to hepatic lipase was measured. The hepatic lipase antiserum was injected intravenously into animals prior to injection of 32P-labeled chylomicrons or 32P-labeled high density lipoproteins. In experiments in which 32P-labeled chylomicrons were injected, antiserum treatment inhi...
