To study the relative atherogenic potential of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], the transfer of Lp(a) and LDL into the arterial wall was compared in normal rabbits, cholesterol-fed rabbits, and normal rabbits in which the plasma concentration of Lp(a) before injection of labeled lipoproteins was increased by an intravenous mass injection of 45 mg Lp(a). Aorta was removed either 60 minutes or 180 minutes after intravenous injection of a mixed preparation of human 125I-Lp(a) and 131I-LDL; intimal clearance was calculated as radioactivity in aortic intima/inner media divided by the average concentration of the appropriate radioactivity in plasma and by the length of the exposure time. The intimal clearance of labeled Lp(a) and LDL in the aortic arch after 60 minutes of exposure was 87 +/- 9 and 47 +/- 7 nL.cm-2.h-1 (n = 9) in normal rabbits and 82 +/- 14 and 62 +/- 10 nL.cm-2.h-1 (n = 10) in cholesterol-fed rabbits; after 180 minutes of exposure, the intimal clearance of labeled Lp(a) and LDL was 62 +/- 14 and 84 +/- 21 nL.cm-2.h-1 (n = 6) and 30 +/- 6 and 47 +/- 12 nL.cm-2.h-1 (n = 4) in cholesterol-fed and Lp(a)-injected rabbits, respectively. Linear regression analysis showed positive associations between intimal clearance of the two lipoproteins in all four groups of rabbits in the aortic arch, the thoracic aorta, and the abdominal aorta. Aortic immunoreactivity of human apolipoprotein(a) was detected in the intima in association with fatty streak lesions, predominantly within the cytoplasm of foam cells. These results suggest that Lp(a) is transferred into the aortic intima by a mechanism similar to that for LDL and that Lp(a) can be taken up by intimal foam cells; however, Lp(a) and LDL may be metabolized differently upon entrance into the arterial wall.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
