Role of LDL subfraction heterogeneity in the reduced binding of low density lipoproteins to arterial proteoglycans in cynomolgus monkeys fed a fish oil diet

Previous studies using cynomolgus monkeys have shown that isocaloric substitution of dietary fish oil for lard reduced the in vitro binding of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) to arterial proteoglycans (PG) (Edwards, I.J., A.K. Gebre, W. D. Wagner, and J. S. Parks. 1991. Arterioscler. Thromb., 11: 1778-1785). The purpose of the present study was to determine whether all LDL subfractions were equally affected by the type of dietary fat with regard to PG binding and to identify compositional changes in LDL subfractions that might relate to the differential in PG binding. Two groups of cynomolgus monkeys (n = 5 each) were fed atherogenic diets (40% calories as fat; 0.26 mg cholesterol/kcal) containing 20% of calories as egg yolk and 20% as either lard or menhaden fish oil. LDL were isolated from plasma by ultracentrifugation and size exclusion chromatography and subfractionated by density gradient centrifugation. Three density ranges of LDL subfractions were collected from the gradients for determination of chemical composition, apoE and apoB content by ELISA, and binding to arterial PG in vitro. The d 1.015-1.025 g/ml subfraction contained 39 +/- 8% of the LDL cholesterol in the lard group but only 7 +/- 3% for the fish oil group. Values for cholesterol distribution were opposite for the d 1.035-1.045 g/ml subfraction, 8 +/- 1% versus 41 +/- 8%, respectively. Similar trends were noted for the distribution of apoB. For the lard group, LDL binding to arterial PG increased with decreasing density (i.e., increasing size) of the subfractions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
