Effect of procetofen on apolipoprotein A I and B concentrations in hyperlipoproteinemia. 1982

J Viikari, and T Solakivi-Jaakkola, and A Lehtonen

Thirty-three hyperlipoproteinemic patients were subjected to therapy with procetofen (300-600 mg daily) for 6 months in a placebo-controlled study. Lipoprotein changes based on cholesterol fractions have been reported previously. This report shows that procetofen increase Apo A I only slightly. Apoprotein B decreased by 16% and the ratio of Apo A I to Apo B was increased by 31%. In addition, procetofen induces changes in HDL composition: the relative amount of cholesterol is increased, which may reflect more efficient efflux of cholesterol from the tissues.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006951	Hyperlipoproteinemias	Conditions with abnormally elevated levels of LIPOPROTEINS in the blood. They may be inherited, acquired, primary, or secondary. Hyperlipoproteinemias are classified according to the pattern of lipoproteins on electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation.	Hyperlipoproteinemia
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.

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.
