Plasma apolipoprotein CII levels in hypertriglyceridemia.

S Ishibashi, T Murase, K Takahashi

    Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental
    |August 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hypertriglyceridemia is linked to increased plasma apolipoprotein CII (apoCII). A strong correlation exists between apoCII and triglycerides (TG), supporting a lipoprotein structural model.

    Area of Science:

    • Lipid Metabolism
    • Cardiovascular Research
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with elevated plasma apolipoprotein CII (apoCII).
    • Understanding the relationship between triglycerides (TG) and apoCII is crucial for lipid metabolism research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the quantitative relationship between plasma apoCII and TG levels in hypertriglyceridemic patients.
    • To assess the validity of a lipoprotein structural model in explaining this relationship.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined 30 hypertriglyceridemic patients (types I, IV, V HL) and 10 controls.
    • Measured plasma apoCII using single radial immunodiffusion.
    • Analyzed the correlation between the square roots of apoCII and TG values.

    Main Results:

    • A significant positive correlation (r = .95, P < 0.001) was found between the square root of apoCII and the square root of TG.
    • The regression line indicated a strong relationship: sqrt(apoCII) = 0.37 * sqrt(TG) - 0.03.
    • Type I hyperlipoproteinemia patients showed apoCII levels comparable to their TG levels, differing from previous reports.

    Conclusions:

    • A lipoprotein structural model effectively explains the observed relationship between apoCII and TG.
    • The findings suggest that apoCII levels in hypertriglyceridemia are primarily determined by TG-rich lipoproteins.
    • The study provides insights into apoCII regulation in different types of hyperlipoproteinemia.
