Abstract
Rates of ester formation from [3H]cholesterol and of [3H]cholesteryl ester transfer from the HDL-containing plasma fraction to lipoproteins of lighter densities (apo B-containing LP) and plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein concentration (CETP) were measured in normotriglyceridemic Type II diabetics (n = 11) and normal controls (n = 10) both in the fasting state and 4 h after a standard milk-shake test meal (50g of fat/m of body surface). The percent of [3H]cholesteryl ester synthesis was measured in a plasma [3H]cholesterol-HDL containing preparation incubated for 30 min and the [3H]cholesteryl ester transfer was measured upon precipitation of apo B-containing lipoproteins with dextran sulphate/MgCl2 following a 2 h period of plasma incubation with [3H]cholesteryl ester-HDL. The test meal significantly increased the plasma triglyceride concentration and to a similar extent in diabetics and in normal controls. Both a HDL-[3H]cholesteryl ester synthesis and transfer rates were equally stimulated in diabetics and in controls. When data were expressed by the concentration of plasma triglycerides, cholesteryl ester formation and transfer rates were similar in the alimentary and fasting periods, and when expressed per apo B concentration, cholesteryl ester transfer rates rose during the alimentary period in both diabetics and controls indicating that there was a net gain of cholesteryl ester per apo B lipoprotein. Plasma CETP mass, and neutral lipid transfer activity were similar in diabetics and normal controls demonstrating that the reverse transport of cholesterol through the apo B lipoprotein pathway is not altered in normotriglyceridemic Type II diabetics.Keywords
