Compositional and metabolic heterogeneity of alpha 2- and beta-very-low-density lipoproteins in subjects with broad beta disease and endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. 1985

R S Kushwaha, and S M Haffner, and D M Foster, and W R Hazzard

The catabolism of alpha 2- and beta-very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) was studied in normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic subjects to determine whether differences in the catabolism of these subfractions are due to their composition. alpha 2-VLDL (cholesterol/triglyceride ratio, 00.18 +/- 0.06; and apoprotein E/C ratio, 0.27 +/- 0.22, n = 4) and beta-VLDL (cholesterol/triglyceride ratio, 0.67 +/- 0.13; and apoprotein E/C ratio, 1.05 +/- 0.52, n = 4) were isolated from subjects with broad beta disease, iodinated, and injected in five normolipidemic subjects, six with broad beta disease, and five with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. VLDL, intermediate (IDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apoprotein (apo)-B radioactivity (tetramethylurea insoluble) following injection of 125I-labeled alpha 2- and beta-VLDL decayed biphasically in all subjects, and this decay in normolipidemic subjects was more rapid than in subjects with broad beta disease (P = 0.004) or endogenous hypertriglyceridemia (P = 0.004 for alpha 2- and P = 0.010 for beta-VLDL). The residence times, however, for the delipidation chain in alpha 2-VLDL were similar in all the subjects and varied from three to six hours. The decay of radioactivity in beta-VLDL in subjects with broad beta disease was much slower (residence time, 36.9 +/- 24.4 hr, n = 7) than in normolipidemic subjects (residence time, 7.56 +/- 4.6 hr, n = 5) or in subjects with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia (residence time, 10.6 +/- 4.65, n = 4). The residence time for alpha 2-VLDL was longer than for beta-VLDL in all subjects, suggesting that alpha 2-VLDL is a precursor to beta-VLDL. To test this directly, iodinated alpha 2-VLDL was injected into a subject with broad beta disease and the radioactivity in the subfractions was followed. The radioactivity from alpha 2-VLDL was transferred into beta-VLDL supporting, the notion that alpha 2-VLDL generated some beta-VLDL. Nicotinic acid treatment of a subject with broad beta disease accelerated the catabolism of alpha 2- and beta-VLDL without changing the VLDL composition.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006952 Hyperlipoproteinemia Type III An autosomal recessively inherited disorder characterized by the accumulation of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL or broad-beta-lipoprotein). IDL has a CHOLESTEROL to TRIGLYCERIDES ratio greater than that of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS. This disorder is due to mutation of APOLIPOPROTEINS E, a receptor-binding component of VLDL and CHYLOMICRONS, resulting in their reduced clearance and high plasma levels of both cholesterol and triglycerides.

D006953 Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV A hypertriglyceridemia disorder, often with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by the persistent elevations of plasma TRIGLYCERIDES, endogenously synthesized and contained predominantly in VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS (pre-beta lipoproteins). In contrast, the plasma CHOLESTEROL and PHOSPHOLIPIDS usually remain within normal limits.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
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.
