We examined the changes in high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism in eight female obese patients undergoing a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD). In the first half of the study, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I), and apo A-II showed a parallel decrease. Although lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HTGL) did not change, lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) decreased. In the latter half of the protocol, HDL-C and apo A-I increased whereas apo A-II decreased, resulting in increased apo A-I-A-II ratios. There was no change in LPL, HTGL, or LCAT. LCAT and apolipoprotein composition may be important in HDL-C changes after VLCD.

To determine the effects of different types of physical training on lipid metabolism, serum lipids, lipoprotein cholesterol, apoproteins A-I and B, hepatic (HTGL), extrahepatic (LPL) and total (PHLA) post-heparin lipoprotein lipase activities were studied in elite athletes engaged in aerobic ("B", no. 13), anaerobic ("C", no. 17) and mixed ("D", no. 9) training programs and in a group of sedentary controls ("A", no. 15). In the aerobic and mixed groups serum triglycerides were significantly lower compared to sedentary controls while total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, as well as serum apoprotein B levels were only slightly lower. HDL cholesterol and HDL2 cholesterol were slightly higher while serum cholesterol/HDL cholesterol (2.89 +/- 0.37 vs 3.6 +/- 0.47, p less than 0.01) and LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol (1.69 +/- 0.38 vs 2.23 +/- 0.43, p less than 0.05) ratios were significantly lower only in aerobic athletes compared to the control group. PHLA and LPL activities were slightly higher in the aerobic group than in controls, while PHLA and HTGL were significantly lower in aerobic and mixed athletes. No significant correlations were found between HDL cholesterol and energy expenditure during training, indexes of adipose mass or lipolytic enzyme activities. The results of this cross-sectional study seem to indicate that specialized training programs have a different effect on lipoprotein pattern and lipolytic enzyme activities, and only aerobic exercise has a potentially antiatherogenic effect.

Sixteen rabbits were fed a 1% cholesterol diet with an intraperitoneal injection of saline (n = 8) (cholesterol-diet group), or 50 mg glycosaminoglycans-polysulfate (GAG-PS) (n = 8) (GAG-PS group). After 10 weeks all rabbits were sacrificed and studied. Eight rabbits on a standard diet with an intraperitoneal injection of saline (n = 8) (standard-diet group) were processed in the same manner. After 10-weeks of feeding, the plasma total cholesterol of the GAG-PS group was significantly lower than that of lower than that of the control group (P less than 0.02). The VLDL cholesterol of the GAG-PS group was also significantly lower than that of the cholesterol-diet group. There were no differences in LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol or plasma triglycerides between the groups. Total lipoprotein lipase activity (T-LPL) (LPL + HTGL) of the GAG-PS group at 10 weeks was higher than that of the cholesterol-diet group. These elevated T-LPL levels were mainly due to an increase in the LPL from peripheral tissues. ADP-induced platelet aggregability of the GAG-PS group significantly decreased at 10 weeks when compared to the cholesterol-diet group, and antithrombin-III activity of the GAG-PS group was inversely increased when compared to the cholesterol-diet group. Although there were no differences in aortic levels of total cholesterol and uronic acid between the GAG-PS group and the cholesterol-diet group, the surface involvement of the aorta in the GAG-PS group was significantly lower than that in the cholesterol-diet group. The aortic levels of free cholesterol, hydroxyproline and calcium of the GAG-PS group were significantly decreased when compared to the cholesterol-diet group. These findings suggest that GAG-PS has antiatherosclerotic effects.

The anticoagulant, lipolytic and protamine reversible effects of high doses of low molecular weight (LMW) heparin 21-23 and unfractionated heparin were compared in man. 7,500 units of each heparin were applied, which corresponds to 90 mg LMW heparin and 48 mg unfractionated heparin. The anticoagulant properties of the LMW heparin are characterized by a doubled half life of factor Xa activity, smaller influence on aPTT and thrombin after intravenous (i.v.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) injection, and higher bioavailability of factor Xa activity after s.c. administration (90% versus 15%). Protamine chloride completely neutralizes the effect on aPTT and thrombin and reduces the anti factor Xa activity by 60%. The bleeding time is prolonged by both normal and LMW heparin by 20%. This effect is normalized by protamine chloride, too. Thrombelastography with recalcified whole blood demonstrates that protamine chloride shortens but not completely normalizes the coagulation time in presence of either unfractionated or LMW heparin. The half life of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity is 60 min after i.v. administration of unfractionated heparin and 120 min with LMW heparin. Although the release of lipases (LPL and HTGL) is higher after i.v. and s.c. administration of the LMW heparin they do not induce higher releases of free fatty acids. This indicates that the lipolytic activity of this LMW heparin and unfractionated heparin is similar. The results show an improved anticoagulant pharmacological profile of this LMW heparin as compared to unfractionated heparin. Protamine normalizes the anticoagulant effects of LMW heparin with exception of a residual anti factor Xa activity and normalizes the changes of bleeding time and thrombelastography.

The effects of obesity, weight loss and weight maintenance on the serum lipid levels and lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triglyceride lipase were investigated in rats. Obesity induced by high-fat (HF) feeding was associated with decreased serum triglyceride levels (HF: 70.3 +/- 8.2, control (CON): 140.0 +/- 26.9 mg/dl, P less than 0.05), increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL, HF: 593.2 +/- 10.6 vs CON: 280 +/- 19.5 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue, P less than 0.05) and suppressed hepatic triglyceride lipase activities (HTGL, HF: 14.2 +/- 0.5 vs CON: 18.0 +/- 0.4 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue, P less than 0.01). After a weight loss to the level of control rats, weight maintenance was achieved either by high-protein (HP) or chow feedings (CH). Both high-protein (HFHP) and chow (HFHC) groups had similar weights but only high-protein feeding restored the normal body compositions. Both groups of rats had higher total (TC, HFHP: 146 +/- 10.7; HFCH: 104.8 +/- 5.1 mg/dl), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (HDL-C, HFHP: 100.8 +/- 15.6; HFCH: 75.5 +/- 5.5 mg/dl) and lower lipoprotein lipase (HFHP: 238.2 +/- 15.8, HFCH: 354.8 +/- 34.9 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue) and hepatic triglyceride activities (HFHP: 16.3 +/- 1.1; HFCH: 14.5 +/- 0.6 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue) than control rats (TC: 70.1 +/- 4.7 mg/dl; HDL-C: 14.2 +/- 4.3 mg/dl; LPL: 742.4 +/- 82.3 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue; HTGL: 20.5 +/- 1.0 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue, P less than 0.05 to 0.005) or the rats who regained weight by resuming high-fat feeding (TC: 59.5 +/- 6.7 mg/dl; HDL-C: 10.2 +/- 6.7 mg/dl; LPL: 1284.3 +/- 90 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue; HTGL: 22.2 +/- 1.9 nmol FFA/min per mg tissue, P less than 0.05 to 0.005). The high protein-group had significantly higher total and high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol levels than the chow fed animals despite comparable body weights in both groups. The findings of this study suggest that weight maintenance induced by high protein feeding is more successful in restoring the normal body composition. However, high protein feeding is also associated with high serum cholesterol levels. The clinical applications of these findings need to be evaluated further.

Effects on plasma lipoproteins, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), and postheparin lipase (LPL and HTGL) activities were studied in 18 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia during 8-week treatment periods with colestipol (15 g/d), fenofibrate (0.25 g/d), and colestipol plus fenofibrate. Lipoprotein lipids and apolipoproteins were determined by standard procedures, LCAT by a self-substrate method, and lipases by nonradioisotopic methods. Colestipol and fenofibrate, each given independently, caused similar percentage decreases in LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B: -18.4% and -8.6% v -17.4% and -10.6% Colestipol increased the VLDL cholesterol concentration, whereas fenofibrate reduced this parameter but increased HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I levels. The combination of both drugs led to a substantial fall in LDL cholesterol (-36.8%) and in apolipoprotein B (-28.3%) and maintained the other effects of fenofibrate on VLDL and HDL. Colestipol, given independently or with fenofibrate, produced an increase of the fractional esterification rate of the LCAT enzyme (+25.3% and +36.2%). Fenofibrate stimulated the postheparin LPL enzyme by +16.1% and +21.7%, respectively. This study indicates the complementarity in effectiveness when both drugs were administered together. The appropriate reduction in LDL was combined with the favorable effects on HDL in familial hypercholesterolemia.

Lipolytic activity was measured in human plasma without prior administration of intravenous heparin. Eluted from heparin-Sepharose in a barbital buffer containing 6 mg/ml heparin, plasma lipolytic activities in 20 subjects were distributed between hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL, mean +/- SE 60.6 +/- 4.6%) and extrahepatic lipoprotein lipase (LPL, 39.4 +/- 4.6%). Confirmation of the identities of HTGL and LPL was provided by inhibitory antisera. Preheparin LPL activity was absent in plasma from a patient with type I hyperlipoproteinemia. Both preheparin HTGL and LPL activities correlated with the respective activities measured in plasma obtained 15 min after intravenous injection of heparin (rs = + .774 and + .685, respectively; n = 12). Evidence for the metabolic regulation of preheparin lipases was provided by measurement of significant increases in LPL and HTGL activities after oral glucose ingestion. Overall, preheparin plasma HTGL and LPL activities may reflect ongoing lipoprotein lipolytic activity in tissue beds, and because these measurements do not require the administration of intravenous heparin, they should prove useful for additional studies of short-term regulation of the lipases.

Because of the high incidence for development of a secondary hyperlipemia during chronic alcohol intake, this study was performed to look for a possible reason, why some patients produce severe hyperlipemia and other ones not. 15 male patients with chronic alcoholism (group I) who produce under influence of alcohol a secondary type-V hyperlipoproteinemia (type-V HLP) were compared with 15 male controls. Additionally, 8 male patients with chronic alcoholism (group II) who were normolipemic under alcohol abuse, and 7 male patients (group II) who had also produced type-V HLP under chronic alcohol abuse, but were teetotal since at least 6 months, were investigated. In comparison with controls, patients of group I showed significantly (p less than 0.01) increased plasma concentrations of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and significantly decreased plasma concentrations of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoproteins2 (HDL2) and HDL3 (all p less than 0.01). Furthermore, the activities of postheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HTGL) were significantly decreased (both p less than 0.01). In patients of group III, the plasma concentrations of lipoproteins did not differ significantly from controls, but the activity of LPL was also significantly impaired (p less than 0.01), whereas the activity of HTGL was distinctly (p less than 0.01) increased. No significant difference between patients of group II and controls could be demonstrated. It is concluded that severe alcohol intake strongly impairs LPL in patients with chronic alcoholism. The pronounced increase of HTGL in patients of group III seems to protect these individuals from producing severe hyperlipemia under the influence of alcohol.

The lipolytic and anticoagulant actions of a 4000 dalton low molecular weight (LMW) heparin were compared with unfractionated mucosal heparin after intravenous and various subcutaneous doses in man. I.v. injection of 100 USP units/kg body weight lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, and inhibition of factor Xa decreased with a half life twice as long after LMW heparin compared to normal heparin (p less than 0.05). There were no differences in half lives for HTGL activity, thrombin inhibition and on aPTT. The area under the activity time curve (AUC) of LPL and factor Xa was double with LMW heparin (p less than 0.05). S.c. administration showed that the AUC of LMW heparin on the factor Xa inhibition was 10 times larger compared to normal heparin. LPL activity was released comparable to normal heparin. The effects on HTGL were three times larger compared to normal heparin. There were no differences in half lives. The data show that in contrast to normal heparin LMW heparin is rapidly and completely absorbed from the subcutaneous depots. The pharmacodynamic data of LPL activity and factor Xa inhibition suggest similar release mechanisms.

In short-term experiments, healthy fasting persons were given a basic dose of 0.5 g of ethanol/kg body weight, followed by hourly maintenance doses of 0.15 g of ethanol/kg body weight. After 10 h there was a significant increase of triglycerides in the VLDL, LDL, and HDL, the main rise (from 42 to 92 mg/dl) being found in the VLDL triglycerides. Other subjects, who received nourishment isocaloric with ethanol, likewise showed a significant rise of triglycerides in all lipoprotein fractions. Chylomicron triglycerides increased from 9.3 to 35.5 mg/dl. There was no significant change in postheparin HTGL, but postheparin LPL activity decreased after 10 h from 17.9 to 12.2 mmol FFA/ml/h in the fasting subjects, and from 28.5 to 10.2 mmol/FFA/ml/h in the persons receiving food. In long-term experiments after 4 weeks of 70 - 80 g of ethanol and isocaloric food daily, triglycerides increased, especially in the VLDL (from 50 to 82 mg/dl). The increase in the HDL, however, was also significant. After 4 weeks of ethanol, the chylomicron triglycerides in the plasma of the fasting subjects reached a value of 29.3 mg/100 ml, LDL cholesterol decreased, and HDL cholesterol increased. After 4 weeks of ethanol there was an increase in the lipoprotein lipase of the adipose tissue.
