Regulation of apolipoprotein A1 synthesis in lymph drained rats

Franzen, Johan ; Florén, Claes-Henrik LU and Nilsson, Åke LU (1987) In Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 918(1). p.11-15
Abstract
The effect of lymph diversion on plasma apolipoprotein A-I levels was studied. In lymph fistula rats apolipoprotein A-I levels in plasma stayed constant in spite of a loss of an equivalent of one-half plasma pool of apolipoprotein A-I per day through the lymph fistula. This indicates that synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I increases or that catabolism of apolipoprotein A-I decreases in a compensatory manner as intestinal apolipoprotein A-I is diverted. By using incorporation of [3H]leucine into newly synthesized apolipoprotein A-I it was shown that 2.6-times as much [3H]leucine was incorporated into apolipoprotein A-I in thoracic duct drained animals compared to controls. In experiments in which 125I-labeled HDL was injected intravenously... (More)

These data thus suggest that an increased synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I occurs when the intestinal contribution of apolipoprotein A-I diminishes. This is probably due to an increase in liver protein synthesis. (Less)
