Effect of fasting on the composition of plasma lipoproteins in cholesterol-fed diabetic rabbits.

Cholesterol-fat feeding is associated with unusual alterations in the composition of plasma lipoproteins in alloxan-diabetic rabbits. In the present study plasma lipoprotein lipid and apoprotein composition was studied before and after 48 hr of fasting in cholesterol-fed diabetic and control rabbits...

description Cholesterol-fat feeding is associated with unusual alterations in the composition of plasma lipoproteins in alloxan-diabetic rabbits. In the present study plasma lipoprotein lipid and apoprotein composition was studied before and after 48 hr of fasting in cholesterol-fed diabetic and control rabbits in order to further characterize these alterations. Compared with control rabbits, the diabetic rabbits had similar plasma cholesterol levels, but 100-fold higher triglyceride levels prior to fasting. These plasma lipids were distributed mainly to large, Sf greater than 400 plasma lipoproteins in the diabetic rabbits, and to beta-VLDL in control rabbits. Sf greater than 400 lipoproteins, VLDL, IDL, LDL, and HDL from diabetic rabbits had triglyceride as the predominant lipoprotein core lipid. Sf greater than 400 lipoproteins and VLDL from diabetic rabbits had lesser amount of apoprotein E, and greater amounts of apoproteins A-I, A-IV, and B-48 as percent of total apoprotein mass in comparison with control rabbits. Fasting reduced plasma triglyceride levels by 55% in diabetic rabbits. Sf greater than 400 lipoprotein and VLDL triglyceride content decreased but remained a major core lipid. Fasting eliminated apoproteins A-I and A-IV from Sf greater than 400 lipoproteins and VLDL, but had no significant effect on apoB-48 content. Insulin treatment of the diabetic rabbits reduced plasma triglyceride by approximately 90% resulting in cholesteryl ester-rich particles reassembling beta-VLDL both in the Sf greater than 400 lipoprotein and VLDL fractions. These results indicate that the alterations in plasma lipoproteins in cholesterol-fed diabetic rabbits result from the presence in the d less than 1.006 g/ml plasma lipoprotein class of partially metabolized, intestinally derived particles.
