Abstract
Platelet phospholipid composition was analyzed before and after extracorporeal removal of low density lipoproteins (LDL) by LDL apheresis in six patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. Elevated levels of total plasma cholesterol and the portion of plasma cholesterol carried by LDL were reduced by 56 and 66% after LDL apheresis. Platelet cholesterol contents remained unaffected. While the phosphatidylcholine (PC):sphingomyelin (SM) ratio in plasma lipoproteins was increased by 22% following apheresis, the same parameter was lowered by 14% in platelets. LDL apheresis induced decreases in the percentages of distinct molecular species containing arachidonic acid in platelet diacyl subgroups of PC, phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylserine (PS) as well as in alkenylacyl (plasmalogen) phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Directly after apheresis, the percentages of molecular species with arachidonic acid of diacyl PC, diacyl PI and alkenylacyl PE were reduced by 20, 23 and 8%, respectively. Two days after the procedure, total arachidonic acid of diacyl PC, diacyl PS and alkenylacyl PE was lowered by 11, 20 and 8%. Overall, the amount of phospholipid bound arachidonic acid was reduced by 16% after apheresis (from 79.1 to 66.4 nm...Continue Reading
