摘要:Moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) (defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30–60 ml/min) is associated with mild hypertriglyceridemia related to delayed catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles. Altered apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) metabolism may contribute to dyslipidemia in CKD. To further characterize the dyslipidemia of CKD, we investigated the kinetics of plasma apoC-III in 7 nonobese, nondiabetic, non-nephrotic CKD subjects and 7 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, using deuterated leucine ([5, 5, 5, 2H3]leucine), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and multicompartmental modeling. Compared with controls, CKD subjects had higher concentrations of plasma and VLDL triglycerides and plasma and VLDL apoC-III ( P P = 0.03). There were no differences between apoC-III production rates of controls and those of CKD subjects. In CKD subjects, plasma apoC-III concentration was significantly and negatively correlated with apoC-III FCR ( r = −0.749, P = 0.05) but not with apoC-III production rate. Plasma apoC-III concentration was positively correlated with plasma and VLDL triglycerides and VLDL apoB concentrations and negatively correlated with VLDL apoB FCR ( P P
