The purpose of this study was to examine sex- and age-related differences in the concentration and composition of lipoprotein particles containing apoA-I (LP-A-I) and those containing apoA-I and apoA-II (LP-I:A-II), the main HDL as defined by their apolipoprotein composition. Lipoproteins were isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography of whole plasma from 16 normal prepubertal children and 15 normal male and female adults using "pan"-MAb to apoA-I and apoA-II. Although there was no difference between children and adults in the concentration of LP-A-I:A-II, adult females had significantly higher levels of LP-A-I than either children or adult males. Main differences between children and adults as well as between adult males and females were in the apolipoprotein composition of the lipoprotein particles; children had the highest content of minor apolipoproteins (apoC and apoE) in LP-A-I but the lowest in LP-A-I:A-II. The lipid/apolipoprotein ratios of LP-A-I and LP-A-I:A-II were significantly higher in children and women than in men. The LP-A-I and LP-A-I:A-II contained 75% of the total plasma apoC and apoE in women and children but only 50% in men. However, in all three groups, 70-90% of the minor HDL apolipoproteins were associated with LP-A-I:A-II. The nonmolar ratios of minor apolipoproteins in LP-A-I and LP-A-I:A-II and the sex- and age-related differences in apoA-I/apoA-II ratios of LP-A-I:A-II suggest that both lipoproteins may consist of a spectrum of lipoprotein subfamilies differing in their apolipoprotein composition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
