We studied the effects of endurance training on the metabolism of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, 1.063 less than density less than 1.15 kg/l) cholesteryl ester and proteins in rats fed a cholesterol-rich (1%) semipurified diet. The HDL were labeled with 131I in the apoproteins and with cholesteryl-[1-14C]oleate in the esters. The HDL were intravenously administered to endurance-trained (n = 10) and cage-sedentary (n = 10) rats. Blood samples were taken over the next 36 h while the rats were conscious and feeding. The trained rats had higher plasma HDL cholesterol (0.72 vs. 0.28 mM) and HDL apoprotein (461 vs. 267 mg/l) concentrations than the sedentary rats. The production or disposal rate of HDL cholesteryl ester was higher in the trained rats (1.36 mumol/h) than in the sedentary rats (0.72 mumol/h), whereas the production or disposal rate of HDL apoproteins was similar in the trained (0.64 mg/h) and sedentary (0.60 mg/h) rats. The residence time of the HDL cholesteryl esters (4.72 +/- 0.22 vs. 3.37 +/- 0.21 h) and HDL apoprotein (7.65 +/- 0.36 vs. 4.55 +/- 0.28 h) was longer for the trained than for the sedentary rats. These data indicate that endurance training resulted in a significant change in the metabolism of HDL cholesteryl esters and apoproteins as well as an increase in their concentrations.

Abstract Genetic deficiencies of cholesteryl ester transport protein (CETP) and hepatic lipase activities have been associated with hyperalpha-lipoproteinemias. Here we present a family of 11 members, of which 9, including the father, mother, 5 sons, and 2 daughters, show a marked increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol alone with low plasma concentrations of triglycerides. Analyses of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity, cholesteryl ester transfer between HDL fractions, hepatic lipase (HL) activity, and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in these cases showed that a decrease in the heparin-releasable HL activity was the possible cause of the marked increase of HDL2 fractions observed in nine of them. Such a defect in HL activity could significantly affect HDL metabolism in particular and lipoprotein metabolism in general. Evidently, a marked increase in serum total cholesterol due to abnormal metabolism of HDL cholesterol, separate from known causes of altered low-density lipoprotein cholesterol metabolism, e.g., a clearance or a receptor defect, is not uncommon. The coordinated action of HL, LCAT, LPL, and CETP may be essential for normal metabolism of plasma lipoproteins.

1. Serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels, distribution and composition of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) sub-fractions and lecithin:cholesterol acryltransferase activity were analysed in nine normolipidaemic subjects, in whom a hypertriglyceridaemic state was induced by the acute administration of ethanol (40 g) plus fat (70 g) or of fat only. 2. Triglyceride (TG) levels increased by 180% 4–6 h after fat plus ethanol intake, the hypertriglyceridaemic response being inversely correlated with the basal HDL2 mass (r = −0.82). Serum apolipoprotein (apo) B levels rose by 8%, HDL–cholesterol decreased by 10% and HDL–TG increased by 57% at 6–8 h. 3. When ethanol was omitted, serum cholesterol and TG rose by 6% and 70%, respectively; both apo AI and apo B levels went up by 8%, whereas HDL-cholesterol rose progressively (15%) at 12 h. 4. The flotation rates of both HDL2 and HDL, increased, reaching a maximum 6–8 h after ethanol plus fat intake. These changes were due to an increase in TG and phospholipid contents, whereas cholesteryl esters and proteins decreased. 5. The alterations in HDL are attributable to the increase in TG-rich lipoproteins, to the stimulated cholesterol esterification (+ 15%) and to an enhanced transfer of newly formed cholesteryl esters to apo-B-containing lipoproteins in exchange for TG. 6. Changes in HDL properties were evident only when ethanol was given concomitantly with fat. 7. These findings suggest that in the postprandial phase lipoprotein changes may occur, which facilitate an improved removal of cholesterol from tissues.

Significant Difference

Plasma concentrations of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol are low in the Saudi Arabian population. A B polymorphism at the CETP (cholesteryl ester protein transfer) locus that is detectable with the restriction enzyme TaqI is a genetic determinant of the plasma HDL cholesterol concentration. We assessed the relationship between the TaqI B CETP polymorphism and lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations in a study sample of 335 Saudi residents. The TaqI B1 and B2 allele frequencies were 0.54 and 0.46 respectively, similar to those in other populations. HDL cholesterol levels in B2B2 homozygotes were significantly higher than in B1B1 homozygotes [1.01 (0.3) compared with 0.92 (0.2) mmol/l; mean (S.D.); P=0.03]. There was also a significant difference between the B2B2 and B1B1 homozygotes with regard to apolipoprotein AI concentration [123.6 (16.4) compared with 113.7 (13.9) mg/dl; P=0.04]. This genetic variation was independent of metabolic risk factors known to influence HDL cholesterol levels. The allele frequency of the TaqI B CETP polymorphism and its relatively modest impact on HDL cholesterol concentrations argue against an important role for this allele, or for strongly linked loci, in determining the low levels of HDL cholesterol seen in the Saudi population.

Abstract We studied intra-individual variation in total and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in healthy volunteers (22 men and 19 women, ages 19 to 62 years) on controlled natural diets. The within-person coefficient of variation (CV) depended on the interval between blood samples, increasing from about 2% to 3% for measurements made 24 h apart to 4% to 5% for measurements made at four-day intervals or longer. We conclude that within-subject fluctuations in total and HDL cholesterol have a time constant of several days. Multiple measurements are generally needed to decide whether an asymptomatic subject exceeds a certain concentration of total or HDL cholesterol; we recommend that such measurements be made at least four days apart.
