The major high density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions were examined in angiographically defined cardiovascular patients with low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. The aims were to study subfraction concentration and composition, and the extent to which hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) modified these variables. Normotriglyceridaemic (NTG)-low HDL-C patients showed similar subfraction composition to age-matched healthy controls. However, these groups showed notable differences in subfraction composition compared to HTG-low HDL-C patients, particularly with regard to the HDL2 subfraction. HDL subfraction mass was significantly reduced in both cardiovascular groups; the HTG group showed a greater reduction in HDL2, whilst the NTG group showed a greater reduction in HDL3. The major HDL apoprotein (apo A-I) was lower in both subfractions of the cardiovascular patients. Apo A-II showed significant reductions only in the HTG patients.

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.

D001054 Apolipoproteins A Structural proteins of the alpha-lipoproteins (HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS), including APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I and APOLIPOPROTEIN A-II. They can modulate the activity of LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE. These apolipoproteins are low in atherosclerotic patients. They are either absent or present in extremely low plasma concentration in TANGIER DISEASE. Apo-A,ApoA
D014280 Triglycerides An ester formed from GLYCEROL and three fatty acid groups. Triacylglycerol,Triacylglycerols,Triglyceride
D016632 Apolipoprotein A-I The most abundant protein component of HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS or HDL. This protein serves as an acceptor for CHOLESTEROL released from cells thus promoting efflux of cholesterol to HDL then to the LIVER for excretion from the body (reverse cholesterol transport). It also acts as a cofactor for LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE that forms CHOLESTEROL ESTERS on the HDL particles. Mutations of this gene APOA1 cause HDL deficiency, such as in FAMILIAL ALPHA LIPOPROTEIN DEFICIENCY DISEASE and in some patients with TANGIER DISEASE.

D016633 Apolipoprotein A-II The second most abundant protein component of HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS or HDL. It has a high lipid affinity and is known to displace APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I from HDL particles and generates a stable HDL complex. ApoA-II can modulate the activation of LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE in the presence of APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I, thus affecting HDL metabolism.
