Influence of clofibrate and an aci-reductone, 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxytetronic acid (CHTA) on lipoproteins and apoproteins was studied in cholesterol- plus cholic acid-fed rats. CHTA (0.4 mmol/kg body wt, twice daily) significantly lowered serum total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations at both 10 and 16 days, whereas clofibrate at the same dose did not alter serum cholesterol levels, but elevated serum triglyceride concentrations at 16 days. The abnormal cholesterol-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) produced by cholesterol plus cholic acid were significantly reduced in their cholesterol content by treatment with CHTA, a compound having an oxidation reduction potential. Conversely, clofibrate administration increased VLDL-cholesterol with concomitant decreases in IDL- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Administration of CHTA to cholesterol- plus cholic acid-fed rats significantly increased concentrations of VLDL and IDL, but had no effect on HDL protein. Both CHTA and clofibrate administration to cholesterol- plus cholic acid-fed rats significantly lowered IDL protein concentrations. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) studies of apoproteins revealed that clofibrate treatment significantly reduced apoC-III and C-II in VLDL, C-II in IDL, and apoA-IV and A-I in HDL. Rats treated with CHTA significantly raised apoC-II and C-III in HDL.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.
