摘要：The heterogeneous nature of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) metabolism in hypertriglyceridemia gives rise to complex kinetics when labeled VLDL are traced. Analysis of such systems benefits from the simultaneous study of several metabolically discrete subfractions which are then integrated. We have studied the kinetics of VLDL and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) apoprotein B and triglyceride simultaneously by injecting homologous 125I-labeled VLDL1 and 131I-labeled VLDL2 and [2-3H]glycerol intravenously in three diverse type IV hyperlipoproteinemic subjects. An additional type IV subject received only [2-3H]glycerol. Specific radioactivities were measured in: VLDL1-triglyceride and -apoB, VLDL2-triglyceride and -apoB, and in each corresponding subfraction after further separation into heparin-Sepharose-bound and -unbound fractions. ApoB and triglyceride specific radioactivities were also measured in IDL. Analysis of the kinetics of apoB in the unbound fractions in VLDL1 and VLDL2 showed the presence of two pools of particles, one of which turned over rapidly. The kinetics of apoB in the bound fractions in VLDL1 and VLDL2 were, in contrast, dominated by a large slowly turning over pool of particles that resembled the kinetics of whole VLDL. Evidence of a partial precursor-product relationship between the unbound and bound fractions suggested that the former was richer in nascent-like particles, while the latter contained more remnant particles. However, triglyceride specific radioactivity curves for both unbound and bound fractions showed initial rapid rises and broad peaks, indicating that the bound fraction also contained a substantial proportion of nascent-like particles. Using multicompartmental analysis, a model was constructed to account for the kinetics of both apoB and triglyceride in all fractions of VLDL and in IDL. The model comprises two parallel delipidation pathways that supply a common remnant pool with these features: 1) multiple direct inputs of particles into plasma at VLDL2 and IDL levels; 2) heterogeneous triglyceride precursor pools leading to different rates of labeling of VLDL1 and VLDL2; 3) very substantial delipidation of VLDL2 particles prior to conversion to IDL and; 5) triglyceride production rates somewhat higher than previously reported. The inclusion in the model of the rapidly turning over pool of triglyceride-rich particles, identified in the heparin-unbound fraction, suggests that values for triglyceride production in man have been underestimated.
