摘要：The metabolism of radioiodinated apolipoproteins (apo) A-I and A-II have been examined using the techniques of compartmental modeling. The model for apoA-I contains two plasma compartments decaying at different rates. One component of apoA-I has a residence time of 3.8 days and the second has a residence time of 6.1 days. In contrast, the apoA-II model has only one plasma component, with a residence time of 5.5 days, which decays through two distinct pathways. Twenty-seven percent of apoA-II decays through a pathway that takes 1.1 days longer to reach the urine than the remaining 73% which decays through the more direct path. These differences in the metabolism exist in both male and female populations. Comparison of fasting and nonfasting concentrations of apoA-I revealed that apoA-I concentration was elevated 0.5 standard deviations in the nonfasting samples while there was no significant difference in the apoA-II concentrations. The fasting apoA-I concentrations were found to be less stable over the study period when compared to fasting apoA-II concentrations. These findings are interpreted as indicating that apoA-I and apoA-II each have a separate metabolism which overlaps when they are present on the same lipoprotein particle. Furthermore, these findings are consistent with the concept that apoA-I metabolism is influenced more by perturbations such as dietary modulation.
