    Notes: Summary The intestine is a major site of cholesterol synthesis and produces apolipoprotein B-48, which is critical for intestinal cholesterol absorption and secretion. The purpose of this study was to examine postprandial changes in apolipoprotein B-48 in diabetes. Six non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients and six non-diabetic control subjects were given a high-fat meal (1300 kcal) and blood samples were taken pre- and postprandially, from which the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction was isolated by ultracentrifugation (density〈1.006 g/ml). Apolipoprotein B-48 was separated on 4–15% gradient gels and quantified as a percentage of the fasting concentration by densitometric scanning. Total protein, triglyceride and cholesterol in the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction, blood glucose, and serum insulin were also measured. Diabetic patients exhibited a postprandial triglyceride-rich apolipoprotein B-48 profile significantly different from that of control subjects (p〈0.05). The triglyceride and total protein concentration in the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction mirrored the post-prandial profile and apolipoprotein B-48 in both groups. Significantly different patterns for triglyceride (p〈0.02) and total protein (p〈0.05) following the fat-rich meal were observed in the two groups. Fasting and postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein cholesterol and total apolipoprotein B were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in control subjects (p〈0.05). Since apolipoprotein B-48 is the structural protein of intestinally-derived lipoprotein particles, these studies suggest an abnormality in intestinal lipoprotein metabolism in diabetes.

    Notes: Abstract The role of the intestine in cholesterol metabolism in human diabetes in unclear, although abnormalities have been demonstrated in cholesterol synthesis and absorption in diabetic animals. This study examines the relationship between fasting and post-prandial apolipoprotein B-48 in type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Eight type 2 diabetic patients and ten healthy non-diabetic control subjects were given a high-fat meal (1300 kcal), and the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction was isolated by ultracentrifugation (d〈1.006 g/ml) from fasting and post-prandial plasma. Apolipoprotein B-48 and apo B-100 were separated on 4%–15% gradient gels and quantified by densitometric scanning with reference to a purified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apo B-100 preparation. Diabetic patients had significantly higher concentrations of apo B-48 and apo B-100 in both the fasting (P〈0.05) and post-prandial (P〈0.001) triglyceride-rich lipoprotein samples compared with non-diabetic subjects. The diabetic patients also exhibited a significantly different post-prandial profile for apo B-48 and apo B-100, with a prolonged increase and a later post-prandial peak, than the non-diabetic subjects (P〈0.01). These results suggest that the raised fasting triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, often found in diabetes, are associated with apo B-48 and may be derived from increased intestinal chylomicron production. The post-prandial pattern suggests an abnormality in intestinal production as well as hepatic clearance of apo B-48 in type 2 diabetes.

    Notes: Abstract This study investigates compositional differences in low density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions and their relationship to cellular cholesterol synthesis. We examined ten normocholesterolaemic (serum cholesterol 〈6.5 mM) non-diabetic subjects (group 1) and compared them with ten normocholesterolaemic (group 2) and ten hypercholesterolaemic (group 3) (serum cholesterol 〉6.5 mM) type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients. Serum cholesterol levels for groups 1, 2 and 3 were 5.19±0.27, 5.20±0.27 and 7.51±0.31 mM. LDL1 (density 1.006–1.028 g/l) and LDL2 (1.028–1.063 g/l) were isolated by density gradient ultracentrifugation. A significantly greater proportion of cholesterol was carried in LDL2 than LDL1 in all groups. There was a significantly lower cholesterol/protein ratio in LDL1 from the hypercholesterolaemic diabetic patients compared with controls. The LDL esterified/free cholesterol ratio was significantly greater in both LDL1 and LDL2 in the hypercholesterolaemic diabetic patients compared with the other two groups. There was a negative correlation between inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and the esterified/free cholesterol ratio of both LDL1 (r=0.56,P〈0.002) and LDL2 (r=0.63,P〈0.001). Cellular cholesterol of 41.0±0.3 μg/mg cell protein in the hypercholesterolaemic diabetic patients was also significantly higher compared with values of 30.32±2.0 and 34.1±4.2 μg/mg cell protein for the normocholesterolaemic non-diabetic and diabetic groups. In vitro LDL esterification led to a decrease in LDL receptor-mediated binding and resulted in a 40% reduction in the ability of the LDL to suppress cholesterol synthesis. The study demonstrates a relationship between the LDL esterified/free cholesterol ratio, LDL receptor binding and cellular cholesterol and may have implications for the understanding of hypercholesterolaemia in diabetes.

    Notes: Abstract We have previously demonstrated alterations in apolipoprotein B-48 metabolism in the post-prandial state in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This study investigates the relationship between hypertriglyceridaemia and post-prandial lipoprotein metabolism. Four groups of patients were examined: non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients, with normal serum triglyceride levels (serum triglyceride 〈2.1 mmol l−1; haemoglobin HbA1c 5.5%±0.4%); poorly controlled, non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridaemia (serum triglyceride 〉2.1 mmol 1−1; HbA1c 8.8%±0.9%); nondiabetic subjects with serum triglycerides 〈2.1 mmoll−1; and non-diabetic subjects with hypertriglyceridaemia (serum triglyceride〉2.1 mmol l−1). Subjects were studied fasting and following a high-fat meal (1300 kcal). The triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction was isolated by ultracentrifugation (d〈1.006 g ml−1). Apoprotein B-48, apoprotein B-100 and apoprotein E were separated on 4%–15% gradient gels and quantified as a percentage of the fasting concentration by densitometric scanning. Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein apolipoprotein B-48 and apolipoprotein B-100 post-prandial profiles demonstrated a maximum increase either at 2 h or rising still further to a peak at 6 h before falling in the diabetic groups and hypertriglyceridaemic non-diabetic subjects when compared with the normotriglyceridaemic control subjects whose levels decreased after 2 h (P〈0.05). A significantly different triglyceride-rich lipoprotein apolipoprotein E profile was also exhibited by the diabetic patients (P〈0.05). Levels of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein and apoprotein B were elevated in the hypertriglyceridaemic subjects, both diabetic and non-diabetic. These results indicate that hypertriglyceridaemia is associated with altered metabolism and composition of post-prandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles in both poorly controlled diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.
