In vivo studies have shown abnormalities in cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in primary hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP). The aim of the present investigation was to determine if the increased production of cholesterol in HLP type IV can be attributed to a correspondingly high level of the hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG) CoA reductase activity and if the low cholic acid: chenodeoxycholic acid synthesis ratio in HLP type II is due to some hydroxylase deficiency. Liver biopsies from 26 normolipidemic and 25 hyperlipidemic (10 type IIa, 6 type IIb, and 9 type IV) patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy were assayed for HMG CoA reductase activity, 12 alpha-hydroxylase activity, and 25-hydroxylase activity. The HMG CoA reductase activity was normal in HLP type IIa and type IIb and was increased about twice HLP type IV (P less than 0.001). The 12 alpha- and 25-hydroxylase activities were normal in all groups of patients. The results are compatible with a normal cholesterol synthesis in the liver in HLP type II. A reduced 12 alpha- or 25-hydroxylase activity cannot explain the low production of cholic acid relative to chenodeoxycholic acid in this type of HLP. The elevated HMG CoA reductase activity found in the liver of type IV patients may, however, be part of the explanation for the elevated synthesis of cholesterol often seen in these patients. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the common forms of dyslipidemia could affect either the lipid composition or insulin receptor processing (down-regulation) of erythrocytes. The study included 22 patients with type IIa hypercholesterolemia, 15 patients with type IV hypertriglyceridemia and 12 patients with type IIb hyperlipidemia. Ten normolipidemic subjects were used as controls. Their erythrocyte membranes were analyzed for lipid composition and insulin receptor down-regulation. The results show that all the hyperlipidemias investigated were characterized by significant increases in the cholesterol to phospholipid molar ratio (0.56±0.08 in controls and 1.11±0.13, 1.09±0.14, 1.04±0.15, p<0.001, in types IIa, IIb and IV, respectively). Surface insulin receptors of type IIa and IIb patients did not appear to down-regulate when compared to normal subjects, but rather up-regulated (+65.2% in controls, –1.0% and –8.7%, p<0.001, in type IIa and IIb patients, respectively). Patients with type IV hypertriglyceridemia showed a residual capacity for insulin receptor internalization (10.7% down-regulation). Membranes of all the patients contained a higher proportion of phosphatidylethanolamine; the molar ratio of sphingomyelin to phosphatidylcholine was significantly higher in types IIb than in controls (1.22±0.11 and 1.12±0.10, p<0.05, respectively); all the patients showed a lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the major glycerophospholipid classes. However, type IV hypertriglyceridemics showed less variations, especially in the phosphatidylserine fraction. These results indicate that the alterations in lipoprotein pattern may affect both the lipid membrane equilibria and the processing ability of surface insulin receptors. 相似文献

1. An electroimmunoassay and a radial immunodiffusion procedure are described for the quantitative determination of human serum apolipoprotein D. Purified apolipoprotein D and antisera to both lipoprotein D and apolipoprotein D were used to standardize the assays. The assays are applicable to measurement of apolipoprotein D in serum and density classes. The electroimmunoassay is more sensitive (50 ng apolipoprotein D quantitatively detectable), rapid (time required for completion of assay is 5 h) and precise (the within- and between-assay coefficients of variation are 4 and 7%, respectively) than radial immunodiffusion. However, comparable results were obtained by both methods (r = 0.85). 2. Serum apolipoprotein D levels of normal subjects and hyperlipoproteinemic phenotypes IIa, IIb, III, IV and V were in the same range (10 to 12 mg/dl). In contrast, patients with hyperchylomicronemia (type I) had decreased apolipoprotein D levels (5 mg/dl; P less than 0.001). The apolipoprotein D in serum of normolipidemic subjects was detectable in all density classes but measurable only in HDL2 (21%), HDL3 (43%) and VHDL (36%). 3. Rocket electrophoresis is also a valuable tool for assessing the structural relationships among apolipoproteins or their constituent polypeptides. Interaction between serum and a mixture of antibodies to A-I, A-II and apolipoprotein D resulted in the formation of separate lipoprotein A and lipoprotein D rockets indicating that apolipoprotein D is not a constituent polypeptide of apolipoprotein A. This observation confirms the existence of lipoproteins A and D as separate lipoprotein families. 相似文献

Persistent abnormalities in lipoprotein composition and cholesteryl ester transfer following lovastatin treatment 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Optimally effective lipid-lowering agents should not only restore plasma lipids to normal levels but also correct potentially atherogenic alterations in lipoprotein composition and function often present in hyperlipidemic patients. Lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis, clearly lowers plasma cholesterol levels. Its effects on lipoprotein composition and cholesteryl ester transfer (CET), a key step in reverse cholesterol transport, however, are not known. Since abnormalities in CET and lipoprotein composition are present in patients with hypercholesterolemia, we studied these parameters of plasma lipoprotein transport in twelve hypercholesterolemic (HC; Type IIa) subjects (six male, six female) before and 2 months after lovastatin treatment (20 mg qd). Before lovastatin, the free cholesterol (FC)/lecithin (L) ratio in plasma, a new index of cardiovascular risk that reflects lipoprotein surface composition, was abnormally increased (1.18 +/- 0.26 vs controls 0.83 +/- 0.14; P less than 0.001) in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high density lipoprotein-3 (HDL3), and remained so after treatment despite significant declines in whole plasma cholesterol (311.7 +/- 68.2 vs 215.6 +/- 27.2 mg/dl; P less than 0.001), low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (206.3 +/- 47.9 vs 146.8 +/- 29.4; P less than 0.001), and apolipoprotein B (149 +/- 30 vs 110 +/- 17; P less than 0.005).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The objective of this study was to identify parameters indicating a risk for developing typical haemolytic uremic syndrome (D+HUS) during the prodromal phase of diarrhea caused by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Forty-eight children were studied prospectively with regard to inflammatory serum factors on admission to hospital. Ten patients developed D+HUS (group I), 15 suffered from viral-gastroenteritis (group IIa) and 23 from other types of bacterial gastroenteritis (group IIb). Mean levels of IL-8 tended to be elevated in group I compared to groups IIa and IIb. Neopterin and IL-10 levels particularly were significantly decreased in HUS in comparison to both gastroenteritis groups. Low IL-10 levels indicate a substantial disregulation of the immune response in HUS, as IL-10 downregulates the pro-inflammatory response and suppresses pro-coagulant activity in experimental endotoxemia. Our results suggest low neopterin, high IL-8 and especially low IL-10 levels are indicators of a high risk for developing HUS. 相似文献

Current information suggests that the major forms of the human B apolipoproteins, B-100 and B-48, are under separate genetic control and are synthesized by the liver and intestine, respectively. The apolipoprotein B composition of plasma lipoproteins has been determined in order to gain insight into the metabolic defects in patients with dyslipoproteinemias. Patients with type I and type V hyperlipoproteinemia can be separated into two groups based on apolipoprotein composition and triglyceride concentration. The first group had markedly elevated plasma triglycerides with B-48 in the 1.006 g/ml density fraction and only B-100 within IDL and LDL. The second group had plasma triglycerides less than 1200 mg % and only B-100 in all density fractions. Patients with type III hyperlipoproteinemia had B-48 in only the density less than 1.006 g/ml with B-100 in IDL and LDL; the type III hyperlipoproteinemic patient with apolipoprotein E deficiency, however, had B-48 in density less than 1.006 g/ml fraction, IDL, and LDL. Patients with type IIa, IIb, and IV hyperlipoproteinemia had only B-100 in all density fractions. These combined results are interpreted as indicating that B-48 is associated with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins synthesized by the intestine and that patients with phenotypes I, III, and V have defects in chylomicron remnant metabolism. In addition, in patients with types I and V hyperlipoproteinemia, mild hypertriglyceridemia appears to be associated with lipoprotein particles of liver origin. 相似文献

A potential role of endotoxin–lipoprotein (bacterial lipopolysaccharide–lipoprotein, LPS–LP) complex formation as a pathogenic factor for atherosclerosis has not been studied yet. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that in endotoxinemia in humans hyperlipidemia associated with atherosclerosis development can favor an excessive LPS–LP complex formation, and endotoxin presented in blood can inhibit lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), one of the key enzymes of reverse cholesterol transport. Endotoxin-binding capacity of lipoproteins (LP) in patients with normolipidemia and hyperlipidemia types IIa and IV was estimated from label incorporation into different LP fractions isolated by means of sequential ultracentrifugation following serum preincubation with Salmonella minnesota R595 125I-labeled LPS. The effect of varied concentrations of S. minnesota R595 LPS on LCAT activity was evaluated from the overall esterifying activity of serum using [1,2-3H2]cholesterol-labeled substrate. The elevation of low density LP (LDL) and very low density LP (VLDL) contents in blood serum in hyperlipidemia types IIa and IV, respectively, resulted in significant elevation of LPS binding to these fractions. LPS added to the blood serum leads to the dose-dependent decrease in LCAT activity. The revealed phenomena of elevated LPS binding to atherogenic LP fractions in hypercholesterolemia and endotoxin-induced LCAT inhibition suggest the pathogenic role of LPS–LP complexes in atherogenesis. 相似文献

The present study was designed to evaluate the metabolism of chylomicron and chylomicron remnants by measuring serum apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) levels in 335 normolipidemic and 253 hyperlipidemic subjects using a novel ELISA system. The distribution of fasting serum apoB-48 levels in normolipidemic subjects varied widely, ranging from <1 to >24 microgram/ml (mean, 5.2 +/- 3.8 microgram/ml; median, 3.9 microgram/ml). Serum apoB-48 levels correlated with serum triglyceride (TG) concentrations (r = 0.45, P < 0.001), but not with total cholesterol levels. Serum apoB-48 levels were 7 to 18 times higher in patients with Type I, Type V, and Type III hyperlipidemia, and only slightly higher in patients with Type IIa, Type IIb, and Type IV hyperlipidemia, compared with normolipidemic subjects. The calculated apoB-48/TG ratio was elevated only in patients with dysbetalipoproteinemia (apoE2/2 phenotype). In normolipidemic subjects, oral fat loading resulted in about 2-fold increase in serum apoB-48 levels, with a peak level recorded at 3-4 h postloading, and then returned to the baseline level within 6 h. On the other hand, in patients with dysbetalipoproteinemia, serum apoB-48 levels did not change considerably. Our results indicate that serum apoB-48 is a very useful parameter for evaluating lipoprotein metabolism in exogenous pathways. 相似文献

Lipid metabolism was examined in patients with hyper- or hypothyroidism. Compared with corresponding age and sex matched controls, serum total cholesterol (T-chol), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-chol), phospholipid (PL) and LDL levels were significantly low and free fatty acid (FFA) levels were high with apparently normal triglyceride (TG), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-chol) levels in 61 hyperthyroid patients, while T-chol, LDL-chol, TG, PL, VLDL and LDL levels were high with normal FFA and HDL-chol levels in 31 hypothyroid patients. Serum lipid levels were then repeatedly measured in 7 men and 7 women with hyperthyroid Graves' disease before treatment (stage I), just after the patients became euthyroid with anti-thyroid drug (stage II) and more than 2 months after the patients remained euthyroid (stage III). Serum T-chol, LDL-chol, PL and LDL levels were low at stage I, significantly elevated at stage II and then normalized at stage III. Transient but significant elevation of serum TG, VLDL and HDL-chol levels at stage II were also observed in men. Accelerated catabolism and anabolism of lipid has been reported in hyperthyroidism. Transient elevation of serum lipid levels suggests a more rapid improvement in catabolism than in anabolism of lipid in an early stage of the medical treatment for hyperthyroidism. 相似文献

The purified flacherie viruses of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, (FVS I, FVS II, FVS III, and FVS IV) were iodinated by using chloramine-T. The iodinated FVSes were purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation or 2.4% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. FVS IV was found in the sedimentation analysis of FVS I, FVS II, and FVS IV. Electrophoretic patterns of FVS IV showed that it was a mixture of components having identical mobilities with FVS I, EVS IIa, and FVS IIb. FVS IV was a decomposed particle of FVS I, FVS II, and/or FVS III. All of these particles contained three polypeptides with molecular weights of about 51,000, 31,000, and 12,000 daltons. FVS I composed of six polypeptides with molecular weights of 67,000, 51,000, 39,000, 31,000, 14,000, and 12,000 daltons. The maturation process of FVS I was discussed and was suggested as the following process, FVS IIb→FVS IIa→FVS I. It is not clear whether FVS III is an intermediate for FVS IIa to convert into FVS I, or FVS III is a decomposed particle of FVS I. 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

Serum Lp(a) lipoprotein concentrations in insulin dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.

OBJECTIVE--To compare the serum concentrations of lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in insulin dependent diabetic patients with and without microalbuminuria. DESIGN--Cross sectional study. SETTING--Paediatric and medical outpatient clinic at a university hospital. PATIENTS--76 insulin dependent diabetic patients: 41 with microalbuminuria (20 males, 21 females) and 35 controls without microalbuminuria (18 males, 17 females). The two groups were similar with respect to age, duration of disease, and haemoglobin A1c concentrations before the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Serum concentrations of Lp(a) lipoprotein, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, and B. RESULTS--Median serum Lp(a) lipoprotein concentration was 10.0 mg/100 ml in the microalbuminuric group and 4.9 mg/100 ml in the control group (p = 0.007). 17 (41%) of the microalbuminuric patients and five (14%) of the control patients had Lp(a) lipoprotein values above the upper quartile of a normal population. Median serum triglycerides concentrations in the microalbuminuric and control groups were 1.15 mmol/l and 0.88 mmol/l respectively (p = 0.03). Median very low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration was 0.52 mmol/l in the microalbuminuric group and 0.40 mmol/l in the control group (p = 0.03). No significant differences in serum concentrations of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, and B were found between the groups. CONCLUSIONS--Serum concentrations of Lp(a) lipoprotein are twice as high in insulin dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria as in those without microalbuminuria. Increased concentrations of Lp(a) lipoprotein might partly explain the increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease observed among patients with diabetic nephropathy. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To examine the effect on lipid and lipoprotein concentrations when butter or an unsaturated margarine is used for cooking or spreading in a reduced fat diet. DESIGN--Randomised crossover study with two intervention periods of six weeks'' duration separated by a five week washout. SETTING--Community setting in New Zealand. SUBJECTS--49 volunteers with polygenic hypercholesterolaemia and baseline total cholesterol concentration in the range 5.5-7.9 mmol/l. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Concentrations of total and low density lipoprotein, Lp(a) lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein B 100, and apolipoprotein A I. RESULTS--Concentrations of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B were about 10% lower with margarine than with butter. Lp(a) lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations were similar with the two diets. CONCLUSION--Despite concerns about adverse effects on lipoproteins of trans fatty acids in margarines, the use of unsaturated margarine rather than butter by hypercholesterolaemic people is associated with a lipoprotein profile that would be expected to reduce cardiovascular risk. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To investigate long term changes in total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and in measures of other risk factors for coronary heart disease and to assess their importance for the development of coronary heart disease in Scottish men. DESIGN--Longitudinal study entailing follow up in 1988-9 of men investigated during a study in 1976. SETTING--Edinburgh, Scotland. SUBJECTS--107 men from Edinburgh who had taken part in a comparative study of risk factors for heart disease with Swedish men in 1976 when aged 40. INTERVENTION--The men were invited to attend a follow up clinic in 1988-9 for measurement of cholesterol concentrations and other risk factor measurements. Eighty three attended and 24 refused to or could not attend. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Changes in total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, body weight, weight to height index, prevalence of smoking, and alcohol intake; number of coronary artery disease events. RESULTS--Mean serum total cholesterol concentration increased over the 12 years mainly due to an increase in the low density lipoprotein cholesterol fraction (from 3.53 (SD 0.09) to 4.56 (0.11) mmol/l) despite a reduction in high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration. Body weight and weight to height index increased. Fewer men smoked more than 15 cigarettes/day in 1988-9 than in 1976. Blood pressure remained stable and fasting triglyceride concentrations did not change. The frequency of corneal arcus doubled. Alcohol consumption decreased significantly. Eleven men developed clinical coronary heart disease. High low density lipoprotein and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in 1976, but not total cholesterol concentration, significantly predicted coronary heart disease (p = 0.05). Almost all of the men who developed coronary heart disease were smokers (91% v 53%, p less than 0.05). CONCLUSION--Over 12 years the lipid profile deteriorated significantly in this healthy cohort of young men. Smoking, a low high density lipoprotein concentration and a raised low density lipoprotein concentration were all associated with coronary heart disease in middle aged Scottish men, whereas there was no association for total cholesterol concentration. The findings have implications for screening programmes. 相似文献

Antibodies directed against purified Ca-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum, calsequestrin and parvalbumin from rabbit fast-twitch muscle were raised in sheep. The specificity of the antibodies was shown by immunoblot analysis and by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assays (ELISAs). IgG against the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase inhibited the catalytic activities of Ca-ATPase from fast-twitch (psoas, tibialis anterior) and slow-twitch (soleus) muscles to the same degree. In non-equilibrium competitive ELISAs the anti(Ca-ATPase) IgG displayed a slightly higher affinity for the Ca-ATPase from fast-twitch muscle than for that from slow-twitch muscle. This suggests a fiber-type-specific polymorphism of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase. Quantification of Ca-ATPase, calsequestrin and parvalbumin in various rabbit skeletal muscles of histochemically determined fiber composition was achieved by sandwich ELISA. Ca-ATPase was found to be 6-7 times higher in fast than in slow-twitch muscles. A slightly higher concentration was found in fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIb fibers when compared with fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIa fibers. Thus Ca-ATPase is distributed as follows, IIb greater than or equal to IIa much greater than I. Calsequestrin was uniformly distributed in fast-twitch muscles independently of their IIa/IIb fiber ratio and displayed 50% lower concentrations in slow than in fast-twitch muscles (IIb = IIa greater than I). Parvalbumin contents were 200-300-fold higher in fast than in slow-twitch muscles. Significantly lower parvalbumin concentrations were found in fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIa fibers than in fast-twitch muscles with a higher percentage of IIb fibers (IIb greater than IIa much greater than I). 相似文献

OBJECTIVES--To compare the long term metabolic effects of two diets for treating hyperlipidaemia. DESIGN--Randomised controlled study: after three weeks of normal (control) diet, subjects were randomly allocated to one of two test diets and followed up for six months. SETTING--Lipid clinic of tertiary referral centre in Naples. SUBJECTS--63 subjects with primary type IIa and IIb hyperlipoproteinaemia entered the study, and 44 completed it. Exclusion criteria were taking drugs known to influence lipid metabolism, evidence of cardiovascular disease, homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, and body mass index over 30. INTERVENTIONS--Two test diets with reduced saturated fat (8%) and cholesterol (approximately 200 mg/day): one was also low in total fat and rich in carbohydrate and fibre, and the other was low in carbohydrate and fibre and rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Fasting plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations; blood glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations before and after a test meal. RESULTS--In comparison with the control diet, both test diets induced significant and similar decreases in low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations (by a mean of 0.72 (SE 0.15) mmol/l, P < 0.001, for low total fat diet; by 0.49 (0.18) mmol/l, P < 0.05, for high unsaturated fat diet) and plasma triglyceride concentrations (by 0.21 (0.09) mmol/l, P < 0.05, for low total fat diet; by 0.39 (0.15) mmol/l, P < 0.05, for high unsaturated fat diet), while high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations after fasting and plasma glucose and insulin concentrations during test meals were not modified by either diet. CONCLUSIONS--Both test diets are suitable (alone or in combination) for treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. 相似文献

The activity of NTPDase (EC 3.6.1.5, apyrase, CD39) was verified in platelets from patients with increasing cholesterol levels. A possible association between cholesterol levels and inflammatory markers, such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein, highly sensitive C-reactive protein and oxidized low-density lipoprotein autoantibodies, was also investigated. Lipid peroxidation was estimated by measurement of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in serum. The following groups were studied: group I, < 150 mg.dL(-1) cholesterol; group II, 151-200 mg.dL(-1) cholesterol; group III, 201-250 mg.dL(-1) cholesterol; and group IV, > 251 mg.dL(-1) cholesterol. The results demonstrated that both ATP hydrolysis and ADP hydrolysis were enhanced as a function of cholesterol level. Low-density lipoprotein levels increased concomitantly with total cholesterol levels. Triglyceride levels were increased in the groups with total cholesterol above 251 mg.dL(-1). Oxidized low-density lipoprotein levels were elevated in groups II, III, and IV. Highly sensitive C-reactive protein was elevated in the group with cholesterol levels higher than 251 mg.dL(-1). Oxidized low-density lipoprotein autoantibodies were elevated in groups III and IV. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance content was enhanced as a function of cholesterol level. In summary, hypercholesterolemia is associated with enhancement of inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and ATP and ADP hydrolysis. The increased ATP and ADP hydrolysis in group IV was confirmed by an increase in CD39 expression on its surface. The increase in CD39 activity is possibly related to a compensatory response to the inflammatory and pro-oxidative state associated with hypercholesterolemia. 相似文献
