The VLDL receptor (VLDLr) is involved in tissue delivery of VLDL-triglyceride (TG)-derived FFA by facilitating the expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL). However, vldlr -/- mice do not show altered plasma lipoprotein levels, despite reduced LPL expression. Since LPL activity is crucial in postprandial lipid metabolism, we investigated whether the VLDLr plays a role in chylomicron clearance. Fed plasma TG levels of vldlr -/- mice were 2.5-fold increased compared to vldlr +/+ littermates (1.20 ± 0.37 vs 0.47 ± 0.18 mM; P<0.001). Strikingly, an intragastric fat load led to a 9-fold increased postprandial TG response in vldlr -/- compared to vldlr +/+ mice (226 ± 188 vs 25 ± 11 mM.h; P<0.05). Accordingly, the plasma clearance of [3H]TG-labeled protein-free chylomicron-mimicking emulsion particles, was delayed in vldlr -/- compared to vldlr +/+ mice (t½: 12.0 ± 2.6 vs 5.5 ± 0.9 min; P<0.05), with a 60% decreased uptake of label into adipose tissue (P<0.05). VLDLr-deficiency did not affect the plasma half-life and adipose tissue uptake of albumin-complexed [14C]FFA, indicating that the VLDLr facilitates postprandial LPL-mediated TG hydrolysis rather than mediating FFA uptake. We conclude that the VLDLr plays a major role in the metabolism of postprandial lipoproteins by enhancing LPL-mediated TG hydrolysis.
