ABSTRACT
Apolipoprotein A-V (apoA-V) first gained attention as a regulator of triglycerides through transgenic mouse studies. Furthermore, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 
(PPAR) agonists such as fenofibrate increase apoA-V mRNA expression. Our group recently developed the first assay to quantitate serum apoA-V levels. Therefore, we sought to determine whether administration of a PPAR agonist would increase circulating apoA-V. Cynomolgus monkeys were dosed for 14 days with 0.3 mg/kg/day LY570977 L-lysine, a potent and selective PPAR agonist. Blood samples were drawn throughout the treatment period and after a 2 week washout. Administration of the PPAR agonist caused a 50% decrease in triglycerides that reversed at washout. Serum apoA-V concentrations increased 2-fold, correlated inversely with triglycerides, and were reversible at washout. The apoA-V/apoC-III ratio increased >2-fold, with this increase also reversible at washout.
These data demonstrate for the first time that a PPAR agonist increases circulating apoA-V protein levels and the apoA-V/apoC-III ratio.
