Human apolipoprotein A-IV. Intestinal origin and distribution in plasma

The Journal of Clinical Investigation

Abstract

The role of the human intestine has been explored as a site of synthesis of apoA-IV, a major apoprotein of human intestinal triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Intestinal biopsies were performed on normal volunteers while fasting and after lipid ingestion. Indirect immunofluorescence demonstrated a marked increase in immunofluorescence for apoA-IV during lipid absorption consistent with an increased intracellular content. ApoA-IV comprised 10-13% of chylomicron apoprotein and 24-30% of intestinal very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) as assessed by densitometry of sodium dodecyl sulfate gels of lipoproteins from chylous urine (mesenteric lymphatic-urinary fistula) and thoracic duct lymph (postoperative fistula). After one subject with chyluria ingested 40 g of corn oil, triglyceride excretion in urine was accompanied by an increased excretion of apoA-IV. 11.5 g of triglyceride and 81 mg of apoA-IV were recovered in the urine. In chylous urine 56% of apoA-IV was in the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons and intestinal VLDL) and 44% in the d > 1.006-g/ml fraction. Normal plasma apoA-IV was 15.7+/-0.9 mg/dl (n = 14) whereas four subjects with abetalipoproteinemia had reduced levels 1.2, 7.6, 9.6, and 8.3 mg/dl, respectively. L...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
