Abstract
The contribution of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) to various low density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions was examined in three normal subjects and two with familial combined hyperlipidemia. Autologous VLDL + IDL (d less than 1.019 g/ml) or VLDL only (d less than 1.006 g/ml; one subject only) were isolated by sequential ultracentrifugation, iodinated, and injected into each subject. The appearance, distribution, and subsequent disappearance of radioactivity into LDL density subpopulations was characterized using density gradient ultracentrifugation. These techniques help determine the contribution of precursors to various LDL subpopulations defined uniquely for each subject. The results from these studies have suggested: 1) it took up to several days of intravascular processing of precursor-derived LDL before it resembled the distribution of the 'steady-state' plasma LDL protein; 2) plasma VLDL and IDL precursors contributed rapidly to a broad density range of LDL; 3) the radiolabeled plasma precursors did not always contribute to all LDL density subfractions within an individual in proportion to their relative LDL protein mass as determined by density gradient ultracentrifugation; 4) with time, the distribution of the precursor-derived LDL became more buoyant or more dense than distribution of the LDL protein mass; and 5) the kinetic characteristics of precursor-derived particles within LDL changed within a relatively narrow density range and were not always related to the LDL density heterogeneity of each subject. These studies emphasize the complexities of apoB metabolism and the need to design studies to carefully examine the production of various LDL subpopulations, the kinetic fate and interconversions among the subpopulations, and ultimately, their relationship to the development of atherosclerosis.
