Abstract

The behavior of native retinyl palmitate labeled intestinally derived lipoproteins and their remnants was studied in 8 NZW and 8 WHHL (5 homo- and 3 heterozygote) normal-fed rabbits and in 3 cholesterol-fed NZW, after 1 month of cholesterol feeding, and 3 and 5 months after resuming normal feeding. Palmitate labeled lipoproteins were produced by the intestine after administration of 50,000 IU of Vitamin A, together with olive oil via gastric intubation. Blood was drawn before and 3,6,9,12,24, and in some instances, 48 h later. Retinol (R) and retinyl palmitate (RP) were measured in whole serum and in the chylomicron, d less than 1006, d greater than 1006 less than 1019, d greater than 1019 less than 1063, d greater than 1063 less than 1210 g/ml lipoprotein fractions and in the infranatant. The R content of the serum was almost all concentrated in the infranatant, it did not change during the vitamin A test and was similar in WHHL, and normal- or cholesterol-fed NZW rabbits. In the normal-fed NZW the RP content of the serum increased within 6 h after giving the vitamin A fat meal (peak value less than 200 microgram/100 ml) and then decreased. In the WHHL homozygotes, the RP increased to a much greater degree (peak value 600-1820...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.
