Cholesteryl oleyl and linoleyl ethers do not trace their ester counterparts in animals with plasma cholesteryl ester transfer activity.
Cholesteryl ethers are nonhydrolyzable tracers of cholesteryl esters. We report here that the ethers are not legitimate tracers of esters in systems involving plasma cholesteryl ester transfer activity. On intravenous injection of doubly labeled high density lipoproteins into rabbits, cholesteryl ester tracer was more rapidly transferred to other lipoprotein fractions than was cholesteryl ether...
متن کاملAccelerated Cholesteryl Ester Transfer
To discern the mechanism(s) that underlie abnormal cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) in patients with hypercholesterolemia, we have studied this dysfunctional step in reverse cholesterol transport in 13 subjects with genetically heterogeneous forms of hypercholesterolemia (HC). In all HC patients, the mass of CE transferred in whole plasma from HDL to VLDL and LDL increased rapidly initially and...
متن کاملImmunospecific scintillation proximity assay of cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity.
We describe a novel, immunospecific scintillation proximity assay for determining cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity in total human serum and in reconstituted experimental mixtures. The assay is based on the measurement of radiolabeled cholesteryl esters transferred from a tracer dose of biosynthetically labeled high-density lipoprotein subfraction 3 to unlabeled apolipoprotein ...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in hyperlipoproteinemia. Relation to cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity and other lipoprotein variables.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates an important pathway for reverse cholesterol transport. Concentrations of CETP in fasting plasma were measured by radioimmunoassay in two different groups of hyperlipoproteinemic subjects. Plasma CETP concentrations measured by radioimmunoassay correlated closely with cholesterol ester transfer activity in normal plasma (r = 0.86). In the first...
متن کاملPlasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
The plasma lipoproteins are continuously remodeled during their transit through the plasma compartment, owing to the action of lipid metabolizing enzymes and lipid transfer processes. These activities have a major effect on the composition, size, and concentration of the lipoproteins. Lipid transfer processes involving neutral lipids and phospholipids are mediated by specialized plasma proteins...
