Human apolipoprotein E exhibits genetic polymorphism in all populations examined to date. By isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting, three common alleles have been demonstrated in 365 unrelated Nigerian blacks. Furthermore, the APO E genetic polymorphism's effect on quantitative levels of lipids and lipoproteins has been determined. The respective frequencies of the APO E*2, APO E*3, and APO E*4 alleles are .027, .677, and .296. The effect of APO E polymorphism is significant only on total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The average excesses of the APO E*2 allele are to lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 9.19 mg/dl and 11.11 mg/dl, respectively. The average excesses of the APO E*4 allele are to increase total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 5.64 mg/dl and 6.18 mg/dl, respectively. On the basis of the differences in (a) the distribution of APO E allele frequencies between the Nigerians and other populations and (b) dietary lipids, we propose a model that shows that lipid metabolism is influenced by the combined effects of the APO E polymorphism and environmental factors. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein J (apo J) is a newly identified member of a growing family of proteins associated with various lipoprotein particles. Apo J is a glycoprotein which exists in the plasma associated with high-density lipoprotein subfractions which also contain apo A-I and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). We have investigated the possible existence of genetic polymorphism at the apo J structural locus and have evaluated its role in lipid metabolism. By employing isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting techniques, we have screened plasma or serum samples from six population groups: U.S. whites, Amerindians, Eskimos, New Guineans, U.S. blacks, and Nigerian blacks. Apo J revealed a common two-allele polymorphism only in populations with African ancestry and was found to be monomorphic in all other population groups tested. The genetic basis of the two alleles designated--APO J*1 and APO J*2, at a single structural locus, apo J-- was confirmed in a large number of segregating families. In the U.S. blacks, the frequencies of the APO J*1 and APO J*2 alleles were .76 and .24, respectively, and in the Nigerian blacks these values were .72 and .28, respectively. In addition, a single example of a rare allele designated APO J*3 was also encountered in the U.S. black sample. In Nigerian blacks, the apo J polymorphism's impact on seven quantitative lipid traits--total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, HDL3-cholesterol, HDL2-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides--was investigated. No significant impact of the apo J polymorphism was observed for any of these lipid traits. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein A-IV polymorphism and its effect on plasma lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Recently, we determined the apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotype distribution in 2,000 randomly selected 35-year-old male individuals by slab gel isoelectric focusing of delipidated plasma samples, followed by immunoblotting using anti-apoE antiserum. These blots have been successfully re-used for immunovisualization of apoA-IV isoelectric focusing patterns. In a population sample of 1,393 individuals, four distinct apoA-IV isoforms were detected, encoded by the alleles A-IV*0, A-IV*1, A-IV*2, and A-IV*3 with gene frequencies of 0.002, 0.901, 0.079, and 0.018, respectively. The mean of plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, apoB and E levels did not differ significantly among the different apoA-IV phenotype groups. For these lipoprotein parameters, less than 0.1% of the total phenotypic variance could be accounted for by the APOA-IV gene locus. Our results did not show any effect of apoA-IV polymorphism on plasma apoA-I levels nor could we find any correlation between plasma levels of apoA-I and apoA-IV within the different apoA-IV phenotype groups. The plasma level of apoA-IV in subjects bearing the A-IV*3 allele is significantly lower than in subjects without the A-IV*3 allele (5 mg/dl versus 14 mg/dl). We therefore conclude that, in contrast to the apoE polymorphism, the polymorphism at the APOA-IV locus does not influence any of the levels of the lipoprotein parameters considered except apoA-IV. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein A-IV exhibits a common two-allele polymorphism in several human populations studied to date. Using isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting, we have analyzed plasmas from 188 non-insulin-dependent diabetic and 238 normoglycemic Hispanic individuals from the San Luis Valley, Colorado, to determine APOA4 genotype frequencies and to estimate the impact of the genotypes on quantitative traits. The frequencies of the two common alleles, APOA4*1 and APOA4*2, were 0.929 and 0.069, respectively, in normal subjects and 0.901 and 0.096, respectively, in diabetics. The third rare allele, APOA4*3, was detected sporadically in both groups. We studied the impact of APOA4 polymorphism on the levels of total plasma cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and its subfractions (HDL3 and HDL2), LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and insulin. We observed no significant effect of the APOA4 polymorphism on any trait in diabetics. However, we did note a significant sex-specific effect in normoglycemic females on the level of total HDL cholesterol (p = 0.001) and its subfractions HDL2 (p = 0.043) and HDL3 (p = 0.001). The effect of the APOA4*2 allele in normal Hispanic females was to lower the total HDL, HDL2, and HDL3 cholesterol by 8.75 mg/dl, 2.37 mg/dl, and 5.36 mg/dl, respectively, compared to the common APOA4*1 allele. 相似文献

Summary Human apolipoprotein A-IV (apo A-IV) exhibits a genetic polymorphism with two common alleles, A-IV1 and A-IV2, in Caucasian populations. We have investigated this polymorphism in the Icelandic population. The frequencies of the two alleles are significantly different from middel European populations with a higher frequency of the A-IV2 allele (0.117 versus 0.077) occurring in Iceland. The alleles at the apo A-IV locus have significant effects on plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride levels. The average effect of the A-IV2 allele is to raise HDL-C by 4.9 mg/dl and to lower triglyceride levels by 19.4mg/dl. We estimate that the genetic variability at the apo A-IV gene locus accounts for 3.1% of the total variability of HDL-C and for 2.8% of the total variability of triglycerides in the population from Iceland. This confirms and extends our previous observations on apo A-IV allele effects in Tyroleans in an independent population. 相似文献

Human apolipoprotein (apo) E is polymorphic. We have investigated the effect of the apo-E polymorphism on quantitative plasma levels of apo E, apo B, and total cholesterol in a sample of 563 blood-bank donors from Marburg and Giessen, West Germany. The relative frequencies of the epsilon 2, epsilon 3, and epsilon 4 alleles are .063, .793, and .144, respectively. The average effects of the epsilon 2 allele are to raise apo-E levels by 0.95 mg/dl, lower apo B levels by 9.46 mg/dl, and lower total cholesterol levels by 14.2 mg/dl. The average effects of the epsilon 4 allele are to lower apo-E levels by 0.19 mg/dl, to raise apo-B levels by 4.92 mg/dl, and to raise total cholesterol levels by 7.09 mg/dl. The average effects of the epsilon 3 allele are near zero for all three phenotypes. The apo-E polymorphism accounts for 20% of the variability of plasma apo-E levels, 12% of the variability of plasma apo-B levels, and 4% of the variability of total plasma cholesterol levels. The inverse relationship between the genotype-specific average apo-E levels and both the genotype-specific average apo-B and cholesterol levels is offset by a positive relationship between apo-E levels and both apo-B and cholesterol levels within an apo-E genotype. The apo-E polymorphism also has a direct effect on the correlation between apo-E and total cholesterol levels. The implication of these results on multivariate genetic analyses of these phenotypes is discussed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Summary Apolipoprotein H (APO H) has recently been identified as a structural component of chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Although the precise metabolic function of APO H in lipid metabolism is not certain, it has been suggested that APO H may be involved in triglyceride (TG) metabolism. In addition to the previously described quantitative polymorphism, we have recently detected a common qualitative polymorphism at the APO H structural locus. To test the role of APO H genetic variation in determining lipoprotein and lipid levels, we have estimated the allelic effects of APO H variation on TG, VLDL, LDL, HDL, HDL3, and total cholesterol on 356 Nigerian blacks(189 males, 167 females). While no significant effect of phenotype was observed on lipoprotein levels, the effect of interaction between phenotype and gender was significant. Therefore, data on males and females were analyzed separately using analysis of variance after adjusting for age and body mass index. Logarithmic transformation of pertinent variables was done to bring the distribution of the variables closer to normality. A statistically significant effect of phenotype was observed on triglyceride levels in females only (P<0.05). Further analysis of this phenotypic effect revealed that it is due to the impact of the APO H

On the basis of its sex-specific effect, we propose a hypothesis that may explain the combined influence of the quantitative and qualitative polymorphisms at the APO H locus on triglyceride levels in females. 相似文献

Genetic studies of human apolipoproteins. XIII. Quantitative polymorphism of apolipoprotein C-III in the Mayans of the Yucatán Peninsula 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Apolipoprotein C-III (APO C-III) is a structural component of very-low-density and high-density lipoprotein particles and is an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase. In a study of genetic variation of apolipoproteins in the Mayan population of the Yucatán peninsula, we observed a quantitative polymorphism in APO C-III levels. This polymorphism is expressed as variation in immunoblot staining intensity following isoelectric focusing and as variation in plasma levels of APO C-III determined by radial immunodiffusion. This variation is consistent with the presence in Mayans of an allele associated with low levels of plasma APO C-III which we have designated APO C-III*D. Analysis of the distribution of APO C-III levels yields a gene frequency estimate for the deficiency allele of 0.59. There is a significant positive correlation between total plasma APO C-III levels and total plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels, the lowest levels of cholesterol and triglycerides being seen in individuals homozygous for the deficiency allele. This observation is consistent with the proposed role of APO C-III in lipoprotein metabolism. Family data to determine whether this deficiency allele is due to mutation at the APO C-III structural locus were not available. However, molecular analysis using cloned probes from the APO A-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster revealed no gross DNA rearrangement or deletion of sequences in this region in homozygous deficient individuals. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein D (APO D) is a constituent of plasma high-density lipoproteins. Its precise role in lipid metabolism is not well established, though it may be involved in cholesterol esterification and cholester ester transport to the liver for catabolism. No genetic polymorphism has been reported in the APO D gene product. To investigate the extent of genetic variation at the APO D structural locus, we have developed an isoelectric focusing-immunoblotting technique and have screened a large number of plasma samples from U.S. whites, U.S. blacks, Nigerian blacks, the Aleuts of the Pribilof Islands, Eskimo groups from Kodiak Island and St. Lawrence Island, and Amerindian populations from Mexico and Canada. Except for the U.S. blacks and Nigerian blacks, the APO D locus is monomorphic in all other population groups tested. In populations with black ancestry, the products of two alleles, APO D*1 and APO D*2, have been observed at respective allele frequencies .987 and .013 in U.S. blacks and .978 and .022 in Nigerian blacks. The detection of a unique protein polymorphism in blacks makes APO D a useful black marker of significance in anthropogenetics and racial admixture studies. In addition to the interindividual variation observed, APO D reveals extensive intraindividual molecular variation with a multiple banding pattern. The basis of this molecular variation is explained, in part, by variation in the number of terminal sialic acid residues. We have investigated the effect of the APO D polymorphism on triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-, VLDL-, HDL-, and HDL3 cholesterol in 352 Nigerian blacks (190 males and 162 females).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Recent discovery and characterization of APOAV suggests a role in metabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. Previously, variation at the APOAV locus was shown to modestly influence plasma TGs in normolipidemic samples. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of a polymorphism in APOAV (T-1131C) in terms of its frequency among three dyslipidemic populations and a control population, differences of allele frequency across available ethnic groups, and associations with specific lipoprotein TG and cholesterol compartments. We found a striking elevation in the frequency of the rare allele in a Chinese population (P = 0.0002) compared with Hispanic and European populations. The rare allele of the polymorphism was associated with elevated plasma TG (P = 0.012), VLDL cholesterol (P = 0.0007), and VLDL TG (P = 0.012), LDL TG (P = 0.003), and HDL TG (P = 0.016). Linear regression models predict that possession of the rare allele elevates plasma TG by 21 mg/dl (P = 0.009) and VLDL cholesterol by 8 mg/dl (P = 0.0001), and reduces HDL cholesterol by 2 mg/dl (P = 0.017). The association of the polymorphism with altered lipoprotein profiles was observed in combined hyperlipidemia, hypoalphalipoproteinemia, and hyperalphalipoproteinemia, and in controls. These findings indicate that APOAV is an important determinant of plasma TG and lipoprotein cholesterol, and is potentially a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

The response of serum lipids to dietary changes is to some extent an innate characteristic. One candidate genetic factor that may affect the response of serum lipids to a change in cholesterol intake is variation in the apolipoprotein A4 gene, known as the APOA4-1/2 or apoA-IVGln360His polymorphism. However, previous studies showed inconsistent results. We therefore fed 10 men and 23 women with the APOA4-1/1 genotype and 4 men and 13 women with the APOA4-1/2 or -2/2 genotype (carriers of the APOA4-2 allele) two diets high in saturated fat, one containing cholesterol at 12.4 mg/MJ, 136.4 mg/day, and one containing cholesterol at 86.2 mg/MJ, 948.2 mg/day. Each diet was supplied for 29 days in crossover design. The mean response of serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol was 0.44 mmol/l (17 mg/dl) in both subjects with the APOA4-1/1 genotype and in subjects with the APOA4-2 allele [95% confidence interval of difference in response, -0.20 to 0.19 mmol/l (-8 to 7 mg/dl)]. The mean response of high density lipoprotein cholesterol was also similar, 0.10 mmol/l (4 mg/dl), in the two APOA-4 genotype groups [95% confidence interval of difference in response, -0.07 to 0.08 mmol/l (-3 to 3 mg/dl)]. Thus, the APOA4-1/2 polymorphism did not affect the response of serum lipids to a change in the intake of cholesterol in this group of healthy Dutch subjects who consumed a background diet high in saturated fat. Knowledge of the APOA4-1/2 polymorphism is probably not a generally applicable tool for the identification of subjects who respond to a change in cholesterol intake. 相似文献

There is still a lack of information on the effect of regular dancing exercise on lipid profiles. On the other hand, many studies have been carried out on the effect of aerobic exercise on lipid profiles. This study tried to find out the effects of Modern Balinese Baris Dancing Exercise (MBBDE) on serum lipid profiles. Subjects of the study were 30 healthy young male Balinese as an experimental group, and another 30 healthy young Balinese as control group. The MBBDE involved exercise intensity at 70-80% of targeted heart rate, for 50 min period, 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Pre- and post-control group design was applied. Total cholesterol and triglyceride were measured enzymatically. Following MBBDE 3 x 50 min/week for 8 weeks duration, serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration increased significantly from 55.3 +/- 2.32 mg/dl to 63.2 +/- 2.82 mg/dl (p < 0.001). It was also associated with the decrease of total cholesterol concentration from 195.5 +/- 21.10 mg/dl to 161.8 +/- 21.29 mg/dl (p < 0.001); triglyceride concentration from 132.2 +/- 9.65 mg/dl to 110.6 +/- 9.08 mg/dl (p < 0.001); and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration from 113.8 +/- 21.68 mg/dl to 76.9 +/- 20.76 mg/dl (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in the above parameters in the control group. It is concluded that MBBDE is an aerobic, endurance exercise, and therefore produces beneficial effect on the serum lipid profiles. 相似文献

The association of two cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) polymorphisms, D442G and TAQIB (B1→B2), with high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) levels in 932 Chinese obese individuals (BMI ≥ 27) was investigated in comparison with normal controls (BMI ≤ 24). Independent association was demonstrated for TAQIB minor allele B2 and CETP442 minor allele G with elevated HDL levels. The CETP D442G polymorphism was associated with a much greater increase in HDL levels in subjects with BMI exceeding 27 kg/m2 (+5.42 mg/dl, P = 0.0007) compared to normal controls (+1.97 mg/dl, P = 0.275), and the increase in HDL reached the highest level among subjects with BMI exceeding 30 kg/m2 (+6.80 mg/dl, P = 0.016). TAQIB showed significant association with HDL levels only in normal BMI subgroup (P = 0.0017). TAQIB significantly interacted with serum triglyceride (TG) on modulating HDL levels (P = 0.027). The TAQIB–TG interaction effect remained marginally significant after controlling for BMI (P = 0.057). We conclude that D442G polymorphism is associated with more HDL elevation in obesity. TAQIB interacts with serum TG on modulating HDL levels, and the interaction is partly independent of BMI. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism is related to plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in Mexican adolescents
Medina-Urrutia AX Cardoso-Saldaña GC Zamora-González J Liria YK Posadas-Romero C 《Human biology; an international record of research》2004,76(4):605-614
Previous studies in the Mexican population have failed to show an effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism on the lipid profile. The purpose of the present study was to determine the frequencies of APOE phenotypes, and their influence on lipid and apolipoprotein levels in a random sample of Mexican adolescents living in Mexico City. APOE polymorphism, fasting insulin levels, lipid levels, and apolipoprotein levels were determined in 420 adolescents. We found a high frequency of APOE*3 subjects (89.5%) and a low frequency of APOE*2 (3.0%) and APOE*4 (7.5%) subjects. The APOE*4 subjects (including APOE 4,3 and APOE 4,4) showed the highest concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apoB and the lowest high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, whereas carriers of the APOE*2 allele (APOE 3,2 and APOE 2,2) had the lowest values for total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the highest concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. No significant differences in triglyceride and insulin levels among subjects with different APOE polymorphisms were observed. Unlike previous studies in the Mexican population, our results show that lipid and lipoprotein levels are under the influence of APOE polymorphism. As in whites, APOE*4 may be a cardiovascular risk factor in the Mexican population. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein J (apoJ, protein; APOJ, gene) is found in serum associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions, which also contain apolipoprotein A-I (apoA1) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein. ApoJ has been shown to be involved in a variety of physiological functions, including lipid transport. In earlier studies we reported the existence of a common genetic polymorphism (APOJ*1 and APOJ*2 alleles) using isoelectric focusing (IEF) and immunoblotting. In this study we determined the molecular basis of this polymorphism and together with another polymorphism at codon 328 (G-->A) evaluated its relationship with serum HDL cholesterol and apoA1 levels in 767 African blacks stratified by staff level: junior (less affluent, n = 450) and senior (more affluent, n = 317). The molecular analysis of the cathodally shifted APOJ*2 allele on IEF gels revealed an amino acid substitution of asparagine by histidine resulting from a missense mutation (A-->C) at codon 317 in exon 7. The frequency of the APOJ*2 (C) allele of codon 317 in the total sample was 0.267, whereas that of the less common allele A of codon 328 was 0.04. Despite their close proximity, no linkage disequilibrium was observed between the 2 polymorphisms. The impact of the codon 317 polymorphic variation was significant on serum HDL cholesterol (p = 0.003) and HDL3 cholesterol (p = 0.001) in junior staff. The adjusted mean values of these traits were higher in the codon 317 APOJ*2/*2 genotype than in the *1/*1 and *1/*2 genotypes. Overall, the APOJ codon 317 polymorphism explained 10.2% and 8.3% of the phenotypic variation in HDL cholesterol and HDL3 cholesterol, respectively, in junior staff. The codon 328 polymorphism showed a significant effect on HDL2 cholesterol (p = 0.039) and apoA1 (p = 0.007) only in junior women and accounted for 2.5% and 4.2% of the phenotypic variation in HDL2 cholesterol and apoA1, respectively. We also analyzed the combined effects of these genotypes at the 2 polymorphic sites. Significant effects on HDL cholesterol (p = 0.004) and HDL3 cholesterol (p = 0.008) in junior men and on HDL2 cholesterol (p = 0.003) in junior women were observed in the combined genotype data. The 2-locus genotypes explained 6.0% and 5.3% of the residual phenotypic variation of HDL cholesterol and HDL3 cholesterol in junior men and 10.4% of HDL2 cholesterol in junior women. These data indicate that the effect of the APOJ polymorphism on HDL cholesterol levels is modulated by socioeconomic status, as measured by staff level. Given the association of HDL and its subfractions with cardiovascular disease, these polymorphisms may lead to a better understanding of interracial differences in the risk of cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

Application of uniform methods for measuring the apolipoprotein (apo) E polymorphism and plasma cholesterol levels in nine populations (Tyrolean, Sudanese, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian, Icelandic, Finnish, and Malay) revealed significant heterogeneity among them in apo E type frequencies and mean cholesterol levels. The major apo E types in all populations were E3/2 (frequency range from 7.0% in Indians to 16.9% in Malays), E3/3 (frequency range from 39.8% in Sudanese to 72.1% in Japanese), and E3/4 (frequency range from 11.3% in Japanese to 35.9% in Sudanese). Mean cholesterol levels ranged from 144.2 mg/dl in the Sudanese to 228.5 mg/dl in the Icelandics. Two-way analysis of variance of the effect of population and apo E type on cholesterol levels showed no significantly interaction effect, indicating that the effects of apo E type on cholesterol levels do not differ significantly among the populations. The overall average excess for the epsilon 2 allele was -14.12 mg/dl (range -31.63 to -8.82 mg/dl); for the epsilon 3 allele, 0.04 mg/dl (range -1.87 to 1.58 mg/dl; and for the epsilon 4 allele, 8.14 mg/dl (range -1.71 to 13.31 mg/dl). Despite the apparent heterogeneity in these values, especially for the epsilon 4 allele, comparison of the average excesses by a method of repeated sampling with random permutations revealed no significant difference in effects among populations. These data indicate that a given apo E allele acts in a relatively uniform manner in different populations despite differences in genetic background and environmental factors. 相似文献

A number of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) and apolipoprotein A-I/C-III(apoA-I/C-III) genes have been found to be associated with serum lipoprotein levels in many adult populations. In order to examine whether these genetic polymorphisms influence serum lipoprotein levels in childhood and adolescence, we determined the apoB XbaI and apoA-I/C-III SstI genotypes and serum lipoprotein concentrations in 307 healthy Finns aged 9 to 21 years. In the age groups of 9, 12, and 15 years, subjects homozygous for the X2 allele (the XbaI site present) of the apoB gene had mean serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels (3.69, 3.43, and 3.15 mmol/l, respectively) that were 12-20% higher than those in subjects homozygous for the absence of this allele (3.08, 3.02, and 2.80 mmol/l, respectively). This association was more significant in males than in females. At the age of 9 to 18 years, subjects carrying the S2 allele (SstI site present) of the apoA-I/C-III gene complex had an approximately 6-15% higher mean serum LDL-cholesterol level than those homozygous for its absence. The combined genotype X2+S2+ (the simultaneous presence of the X2 allele and the S2 allele) was associated with an even more marked elevation of serum LDL-cholesterol level than either allele alone. As an example, the serum LDL cholesterol concentration was 20% higher in 9-year-old subjects with at least one X2 and one S2 allele than in those without either allele (3.55 vs. 2.97 mmol/l, P less than 0.005). The S2 allele was found to be significantly more frequent in eastern than in western Finland, whereas no significant areal differences were seen in the occurrence of the X2 allele. In conclusion, genetic variations of the apoB and apoA-I/C-III gene loci influence serum lipoprotein concentrations already in childhood. 相似文献

In a crossover design two semipurified diets provided either starch or starch and sucrose (1:1) as carbohydrate (49% by calories) with 0.4 mg cholesterol/kcal. Six weeks of starch + sucrose diet resulted in significantly reduced levels (mean +/- SE, mg/dl) of serum total cholesterol (264 +/- 9 vs 244 +/- 8) and apo B (110 +/- 6 vs 96 +/- 6) when compared with starch diet, whereas serum triglyceride levels remained similar between diets. With respect to changes in lipids and apolipoproteins (A-I or B) of very low (VLDL), low (LDL), intermediate (IDL), and high (HDL) density lipoproteins, starch + sucrose diet significantly increased VLDL-apo B (+34%), and decreased LDL-cholesterol (-18%) and LDL-apo B (-15%) as compared with starch alone; no differences were found in IDL and HDL between diets. The relative proportion of starch to sucrose in a diet appears to influence the magnitude of response of lipoproteins to dietary cholesterol. 相似文献

In more than 500 families of Japanese ancestry, selected in part through fathers with hyperlipemia or coronary heart disease, a major locus for hyper-beta-cholesterolemia (hyperlipoproteinemia type IIa) is highly significant (chi22 = 24.02), with an allele frequency .002 in the general population. This gene is revealed with about the same power by fasting levels of LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol and total cholesterol. However, VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and triglyceride give no convincing evidence for a major locus in this population, nor was a gene for combined hyperlipoproteinemia detected. 相似文献

1. Apolipoprotein A-1, isolated from hamster high density lipoprotein, possessed a molecular weight of approximately 27,000. 2. Its amino acid composition differed from human apo A-1 and it contained a higher threonine to serine ratio and a higher methionine and leucine content. 3. The concentration in normal serum was 126.0 +/- 1.9 mg/dl. 4. Apolipoprotein B, isolated from hamster low density lipoprotein consisted of three major components when analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with Mrs of 635 Kd, 460 Kd and 305 Kd respectively. 5. Hamster apo B possessed a higher aspartic acid to glutamic acid ratio and a higher methionine and valine content than human apo B. 6. The concentration in normal serum was 20.9 +/- 1.0 mg/dl. 7. The apolipoprotein and lipoprotein profile of hamsters fed a high cholesterol diet for 30 days changed considerably. 8. Total serum cholesterol levels increased 7 fold; LDL levels increased 14 fold; HDL levels doubled and total serum triglyceride increased 3 fold. 9. Apo A-1 levels increased by 45% and apo B levels increased 5 fold. 相似文献
