Effect of an anti-lipoprotein lipase serum on plasma triglyceride removal

IP Kompiang, A Bensadoun and MW Yang

Anti-lipoprotein lipase sera injected intravenously in roosters blocked quantitatively the catabolism of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride. Antibodies were produced in rabbits immunized with highly purified lipoprotein lipase (LPL, glycerol ester hydrolase, E C 3.1.1.3) prepared from chicken adipose tissue. Following anti-LPL serum injection there was a linear increase in plasma triglyceride concentration. The rate of entry of triglyceride in plasma was estimated from the rate of triglyceride accumulation in the plasma of animals injected with anti-LPL serum, or from the disappearance curve of biologically labelled VLDL. In instances where both measurements were conducted in the same animals there was very close agreement between the two procedures. Inhibition of VLDL triglyceride catabolism of anti-LPL serum provided a way to characterize newly secreted VLDL that exhibited a broad spectrum of particle sizes with a median of 625 A degrees. They contained 76.2 +/- 1.2% triglyceride and had a high ratio of free to ester cholesterol (2.46 +/- 0.45). In control VLDL samples there was 46.1% triglyceride, and the ratio of free to ester cholesterol was 1.19. The complete inhibition of triglyceride removal by an antiserum prepared against adipose tissue LPL demonstrates that the NaCl-inhibited, serum-activated lipase prepared by affinity chromatography on heparin-Sepharose and concanavalin A-Sepharose columns is the enzyme responsible in vivo for the catabolism of VLDL triglyceride. Further, the kinetics of triglyceride accumulation in the plasma provide evidence that the site of degradation of VLDL triglyceride is within the plasma compartment.
