Abstract: | The effect of a saturated fat diet on the apoprotein composition and radioiodination properties of plasma very low density
lipoprotein (VLDL) was studied in rats. After feeding the diet for 10 days, the proportion of125I attached to VLDL lipid decreased from 50% (control animals) to 8%, the remainder (92%) being bound to the apoportein components.
The decreased lipid labelling was associated with proportional changes in the fatty acid composition of serum and VLDL lipids,
the most notable change being a reduction in linoleic acid (30–8%) content which occurred in all the major lipid classes of
both serum and VLDL. Analysis of VLDL after radioiodination showed that most of the radioactivity incorporated into the lipid
moiety was associated with phospholipid. The proportion of125I bound to phospholipid decreased after feeding rats a saturated diet. The proportion of soluble (small molecular weight peptides
and arginine rich peptide) to insoluble (B apoprotein) did not alter during the saturated fatty acid dietary regime and no
differences in the distribution of soluble proteins were observed. It is concluded that feeding a saturated fat diet to rats
for 10 days significantly improved125I labelling of the apoprotein moiety while apparently not inducing changes in apoprotein composition. |
