Turnover of low density lipoproteins in normal and atherosclerotic rabbits. 1983

R O Peluffo, and A M Nervi, and S González, and R R Brenner

The turnover and composition of normal and hyperlipemic (h.l.) low density lipoproteins (LDL) of rabbits, were studied. They were obtained by ultracentrifugation and labeled by Bolton and Hunter method. Normal and h.l. LDL labeled with 125I were injected directly and crossed to both groups of rabbits. Normal and h.l. LDL had a different protein/lipid ratio. The analysis of fractional catabolic rate of LDL and the half-life of the phases of rapid and slow decay, show that h.l. LDL had a fractional catabolic rate that is the half of normal LDL and an increased half life of the phases of rapid and slow decay. Apparently, two factors: a) defective LDL receptor in the h.l. rabbit and b) different physico-chemical properties between normal and h.l. LDL, would be the reason for this difference. Besides, when normal and h.l. 125I LDL were injected into h.l. and normal rabbit, respectively, LDL changed according to the injected rabbit, as can be deduced from the analysis of the half life of the phase of slow decay.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D005227 Fatty Acids Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).
