Abstract
BACKGROUND Soybean oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion (SO-ILE) has clinical utility as an energy source and in lipid rescue therapy. However, an excessive infusion rate of SO-ILE in routine use and in lipid rescue therapy may cause serious side effects. There is little information about plasma triglyceride (TG) kinetics following SO-ILE administration. The present study aimed to develop a population semiphysiologic kinetic model of TG and to predict the TG kinetics even at extremely high concentrations in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS TG concentration profiles after intravenous bolus (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/kg) or infusion (3.0 g/kg/h for 1 hour) of SO-ILE to rats were analyzed by a kinetic model constructed with 4 pathways: apolipoprotein acquisitions, zero-order catabolism, first-order uptake to storage sites, and zero-order secretion from storage sites. The developed model was subjected to internal and external validation. RESULTS Plasma TG concentrations appeared to decline in a biphasic manner with nonlinear TG kinetics. The developed kinetic model was well validated and found to accurately predict the external validation data. CONCLUSIONS The proposed kinetic model accurately described TG concentrations after SO-ILE administration at various infusion rates, including a lipid rescue regimen. The maximum acceptable infusion rate of SO-ILE in routine use should correspond to the maximum velocity of the apolipoprotein acquisition: 0.619 g/kg/h in rats. The prediction of TG kinetics at extremely high concentrations will provide useful information for lipid rescue therapy.

Abstract
The inverse relationship between plasma HDL levels and the risk of developing coronary heart disease is well established. The underlying mechanisms of this relationship are poorly understood, largely because HDL consist of several functionally distinct subpopulations of particles that are continuously being interconverted from one to another. This review commences with an outline of what is known about the origins of individual HDL subpopulations, how their distribution is regulated, and describes strategies that are currently available for isolating them. We then summarise what is known about the functionality of specific HDL subpopulations, and how these findings might impact on cardiovascular risk. The final section highlights major gaps in existing knowledge of HDL functionality, and suggests how these deficiencies might be addressed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Advances in High Density Lipoprotein Formation and Metabolism: A Tribute to John F. Oram (1945-2010).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein A-IV (ApoA-IV) is a 46 kD glycoprotein thought to protect against atherosclerosis. It is synthesized primarily in epithelial cells of the small intestine. Elevated plasma concentrations of ApoA-IV in patients with chronic kidney disease suggest that the human kidney is involved in ApoA-IV metabolism. METHODS To investigate whether the human kidney directly metabolizes ApoA-IV and which kidney tissue compartment is involved therein, ApoA-IV was localized by immunohistochemistry in 28 healthy kidney tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing nephrectomy. ApoA-IV mRNA expression was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to exclude de novo synthesis in the kidney. RESULTS ApoA-IV immunostaining was detected in proximal and distal tubular cells, capillaries and blood vessels but not inside glomeruli. ApoA-IV was predominantly found in the brush border of proximal tubules and in intracellular granules and various plasma membrane domains of both proximal and distal tubules. mRNA expression analysis revealed that no ApoA-IV was produced in the kidney. CONCLUSION The immunoreactivity of ApoA-IV observed in kidney tubular cells suggests a direct role of the human kidney in ApoA-IV metabolism. The granular staining pattern probably represents lysosomes degrading ApoA-IV. The additional ApoA-IV localization in distal tubules suggests a rescue function to reabsorb otherwise escaping ApoA-IV in case proximal tubules cannot reabsorb all ApoA-IV. Since no mRNA expression could be detected in any kidney cells, the observed ApoA-IV immunoreactivity represents uptake and not de novo synthesis of ApoA-IV.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) E plays a key role in regulating plasma levels of lipoproteins. We investigated the serum apoE concentrations in cows during different lactating stages by ELISA. To confirm the distribution of apoE in lipoprotein fractions, cow plasma was separated by gel filtration, ultracentrifugation and agarose gel electrophoresis. The apoE concentrations during early, mid- and late lactating stages in cows were significantly higher than that during the non-lactating stage. In lactating plasma, apoE eluted in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) fractions separated by gel filtration increased. The portion of this apoE in plasma was 49%. However, when lactating plasma was separated by ultracentrifugation, less then 5% apoE was recovered in the HDL fraction, and more apoE was recovered in the non-lipoprotein fraction (d>1.21 g/ml, 46%). In agarose gel electrophoresis, plasma apoE was found in beta-migrating lipoprotein, but it was not present in alpha-migrating lipoprotein. To purify apoE-containing particles, the HDL fraction separated by gel filtration was pooled and the fraction retained on Heparin-Sepharose chromatography collected. Cholesterol was absent from this fraction. These results suggest that apoE-containing particles, which increased during the lactating stage, were not associated with HDL particles, and that lipid-free forms were included in cow plasma.

Abstract
Recent studies showed lower apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) plasma concentrations in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The actual distribution of the antiatherogenic apoA-IV in human plasma, however, is discussed controversially and it was never investigated in CAD patients. We therefore developed a gentle technique to separate the various apoA-IV-containing plasma fractions. Using a combination of precipitation of all lipoproteins with 40% phosphotungstic acid and 4 M MgCl2, as well as immunoprecipitation of all apoA-I-containing particles with an anti-apoA-I antibody, we obtained three fractions of apoA-IV: lipid-free apoA-IV (about 4% of total apoA-IV), apoA-IV associated with apoA-I (LpA-I:A-IV, 12%), and apoA-I-unbound but lipoprotein-containing apoA-IV (LpA-IV, 84%). We compared these three apoA-IV fractions between 52 patients with a history of CAD and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Patients had significantly lower apoA-IV levels when compared to controls (10.28 +/- 3.67 mg/dl vs. 11.85 +/- 2.82 mg/dl, P = 0.029), but no major differences for the three plasma apoA-IV fractions. We conclude that our gentle separation method reveals a different distribution of apoA-IV than in many earlier studies. No major differences exist in the apoA-IV plasma distribution pattern between CAD patients and controls. Therefore, the antiatherogenic effect of apoA-IV has to be explained by other functional properties of apoA-IV (e.g., the antioxidative characteristics).

Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV, first identified 28 years ago as a plasma lipoprotein moiety, is now known to participate in the regulation of various metabolic pathways. It is synthesized primarily in the enterocytes of the small intestine during fat absorption. After entry into the bloodstream, the 46-kDa glycoprotein apo A-IV appears associated with chylomicrons, high-density lipoproteins, and in the lipoprotein-free fraction. It has a role in lipid absorption, transport and metabolism, and may act as a post-prandial satiety signal, an anti-oxidant and a major factor in the prevention of atherosclerosis. After summarizing and discussing these functions for reader's comprehension, the current review focuses on the regulation of apo A-IV by nutrients, biliary components, drugs, hormones and gastrointestinal peptides. The understanding of the involved mechanisms that underline apo A-IV regulation may in the long run allow us to switch on its gene, which may confer multiple beneficial effects, including the protection from atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a protein constituent of lipoproteins, and acts as a receptor-binding ligand. Although the existence of bovine apoE in lipoprotein fractions has already been reported, quantitative studies on the changes of apoE in plasma and lipoprotein fractions are lacking. In the present study, an increase of a 38 kDa protein in the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction obtained from fasted calves was detected. This 38 kDa protein was identified as bovine apoE by determination of the N-terminal amino acid sequence. Bovine apoE was purified and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed. Using this system, the effect of fasting on the concentration of apoE in plasma and the distribution of apoE in lipoprotein fractions were investigated. After 3 days of fasting, the concentration of plasma apoE increased significantly (p<0.05) by 280 %, and was returned to the basal level by 3 days of refeeding. The lipoprotein fractions obtained from before and after fasting was separated by ultracentrifugation. ApoE was significantly increased in VLDL, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and non-lipoprotein fractions by fasting (p<0.05). On the other hand, in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) fractions obtained from both before and after fasting, the level of apoE was very low compared to the other fractions. These results suggested that bovine apoE contents in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are modulated by nutritional treatment and closely associated with triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism.

Abstract
Liver regeneration in response to various forms of liver injury is a complex process, which ultimately results in restoration of the original liver mass and function. Because the underlying mechanisms that initiate this response are still incompletely defined, this study was aimed to identify novel factors. Liver genes that were up-regulated 6 h after 70% hepatectomy (PHx) in the rat were selected by cDNA subtractive hybridization. Besides known genes associated with cell proliferation, several novel genes were isolated. The novel gene that was most up-regulated was further studied. Its mRNA showed a liver-specific expression and encoded a protein comprising 367 amino acids. The mouse and human cDNA analogues were also isolated and appeared to be highly homologous. The human gene analogue was located at an apolipoprotein gene cluster on chromosome 11q23. The protein encoded by this gene had appreciable homology with apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV. Maximal expression of the gene in the rat liver and its gene product in rat plasma was observed 6 h after PHx. The protein was present in plasma fractions containing high density lipoprotein particles. Therefore, we have identified a novel apolipoprotein, designated apolipoprotein A-V, that is associated with an early phase of liver regeneration.

Abstract
The nephrotic syndrome is characterized by reduced plasma albumin and colloid osmotic pressure (pi), urinary protein loss and hyperlipidemia. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and the level of apo A-I, the principal apolipoprotein in HDL, is increased in nephrotic rats and rats with hereditary analbuminemia (NAR)--animals with virtually no albumin in plasma and reduced plasma pi, but without proteinuria, suggesting that urinary protein loss is not responsible for increased plasma apo A-I levels. We conducted these studies to determine the mechanism responsible for increased plasma apo A-I levels in the nephrotic syndrome and NAR and to determine whether reduced plasma pi or albumin was responsible for increased apo A-I. We first measured the clearance of 125I apo A-I HDL in NAR and rats with passive Heymann nephritis (HN) compared with normal Sprague Dawley (SD) control. Both the clearance of apo A-I and fractional apo A-I turnover rate (FTR) were significantly reduced both in HN (7.40 +/- 2.18% plasma pool/hr) and NAR (5.63 +/- 1.12) compared with SD (9.87 +/- 0.75). Total apo A-I turnover rate, which in steady state equals apo A-I synthesis rate, was also significantly increased in both HN (487 +/- 127 micrograms/100 g body weight/hr) and NAR (253 +/- 16), compared with SD (216 +/- 19). Thus decreased apo A-I catabolism and increased synthesis both contributed to increased apo A-I levels in HN and NAR. We then infused either f3p4roncotic human albumin or ficoll into two additional groups of HN for days in quantities sufficient to maintain plasma pi within the normal range.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to define lipoprotein complexes within cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in terms of their apolipoprotein composition, using fractionation procedures considered optimal for maintaining lipoprotein structural integrity. Five apolipoproteins were identified, namely apolipoproteins A-I, A-IV, D, E and J. These were differentially distributed amongst lipoprotein particles of which three major subpopulations were identified. CSF-LpAI (20.1 +/- 3.8 nm) was enriched in apolipoprotein A-I and contained the major proportion (> 50%) of apolipoproteins D, E and J. CSF-LpE, of similar size to CSF-LpAI (20.2 +/- 3.1 nm), was composed principally of apolipoprotein E, with minor quantities of apolipoproteins A-I, A-IV, D and J. Elimination of these particles from cerebrospinal fluid by immunoabsorption revealed a third subpopulation of significantly greater diameter (32.0 +/- 6.8 nm). The majority (62%) of apolipoprotein A-IV was also present in this fraction. The study demonstrates the structural and size heterogeneity of lipoproteins in cerebrospinal fluid. This may reflect the lipid transport processes within the central nervous system.

Abstract
To elucidate the pathogenetic role of hyperlipidemia per se in the development of glomerulosclerosis, severely hyperlipidemic female analbuminemic rats (NAR) and mildly hyperlipidemic male NAR were studied for a period of 37 weeks after uninephrectomy (UNX). Plasma cholesterol increased from 6.3 +/- 0.4 (week 4) to 11.9 +/- 0.6 mmol/liter (week 37) in the female NAR, and from 4.3 +/- 0.1 to 6.4 +/- 0.5 mmol/liter in the male NAR in the same period. Plasma protein concentration was also consistently higher in female NAR (60 +/- 1 g/liter) as compared to male NAR (52 +/- 1 g/liter). Plasma viscosity was higher in female NAR than in male NAR, but there were no differences in blood viscosity. Proteinuria increased progressively in the UNX female NAR from 25 weeks after surgery, reaching a final value of 141 +/- 37 mg/day. No proteinuria occurred in the UNX male NAR (final value 15 +/- 2 mg/day). Glomerular capillary pressure, measured prior to the onset of proteinuria, was not significantly different in UNX female NAR and UNX male NAR. At the end of the study glomerulosclerosis and lipid deposition was only found in the UNX female NAR. Throughout the study hyperfiltration and hyperperfusion, relative to the one-kidney clearances of the sham-operated (2K) animals, were not different in UNX male and female NAR. No differences were observed in blood pressure. Hypertrophy, evaluated by glomerular diameters, was less pronounced in UNX female NAR (174 +/- 3 microns) than in UNX male NAR (190 +/- 7 microns). Glomerular diameters in 2K female and male NAR were similar (respectively 158 +/- 2 and 157 +/- 4 microns). Plasma apo B levels were similar (2K female NAR: 204 +/- 8 U; 2K male NAR 204 +/- 13 U), but cholesterol and triglyceride content of apo B-containing lipoproteins, namely VLDL, IDL and LDL, was increased twofold in the female NAR as compared to the male NAR, implying a larger particle size in the female NAR. Deposition of apo B and apo E was observed in the glomerular mesangium of UNX female NAR, particularly in sclerotic lesions. Glomerular apo A-I deposits were localized primarily in visceral epithelial cells and were not associated with sclerotic lesions. The development of proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis after UNX in female NAR but not in male NAR may depend upon differences in plasma lipoprotein composition, but is apparently not related to differences in whole kidney hyperfiltration and hyperperfusion, glomerular capillary pressure, or blood viscosity.

Abstract
By cholesterol feeding, atherogenic VLDL, beta-VLDL (IDL) and LDL increased more remarkably in SHRSP than in normotensive WKY, suggesting that hypertension may promote the productions of atherogenic lipoproteins. On the other hand, HDL significantly decreased in SHRSP, which was associated with the decrease in apoA-I and E in the HDL fraction. This indicates the decreases of two HDL subfractions, apoE HDL and apoA-I HDL, in SHRSP. These decreases of HDL subfractions in SHRSP may be closely related to the higher h-TGL activity in SHRSP than in WKY, and could be a trigger of the excess production of atherogenic lipoproteins.

Abstract
Plasma HDL can be classified according to their apolipoprotein content into at least two types of lipoprotein particles: lipoproteins containing both apo A-I and apo A-II (LP A-I/A-II) and lipoproteins with apo A-I but without apo A-II (LP A-I). LP A-I and LP A-I/A-II were isolated by immuno-affinity chromatography. LP A-I has a higher cholesterol content and less protein compared to LP A-I/A-II. The average particle mass of LP A-I is higher (379 kDa) than the average particle weight of LP A-I/A-II (269 kDa). The binding of 125I-LP A-I to HepG2 cells at 4 degrees C, as well as the uptake of [3H]cholesteryl ether-labelled LP A-I by HepG2 cells at 37 degrees C, was significantly higher than the binding and uptake of LP A-I/A-II. It is likely that both binding and uptake are mediated by apo A-I. Our results do not provide evidence in favor of a specific role for apo A-II in the binding and uptake of HDL by HepG2 cells.

Abstract
[24,25-3H]Cholesteryl ester-labeled rat high-density and low-density lipoproteins were administered to recipient rats. Following death of the rats, a major portion of the radioactivity in administered [3H]cholesteryl ester-high-density lipoprotein rapidly appeared in less dense [3H]cholesteryl ester-lipoproteins and was isolated with the low-density lipoprotein fraction. The specific activity of the esterified cholesterol in the product lipoproteins found with the low-density lipoproteins exceeded that of the precursor high-density lipoproteins. In vitro, the addition of [3H]cholesteryl ester-high-density lipoprotein to plasma resulted in a five- to six-fold increase in radioactivity recovered in the low-density lipoprotein. These results demonstrate that, under a variety of experimental conditions, isolated high-density lipoprotein particles (both in vitro and in vivo) tend to become larger and less dense. Rapid changes in the density of lipoproteins labeled with [3H]cholesteryl ester must be considered when interpreting physiologic studies using this label.

Abstract
The metabolism of apolipoprotein A-IV (apo-IV) has been investigated in the rat. In this animal species, apoA-IV is a major protein constituent of plasma HDL and lymph chylomicron. The apolipoprotein is also present in the lipoprotein-deficient fraction (LDF) of plasma and lymph. In vivo studies with the radioiodinated protein showed the apoA-IV does not exchange freely between HDL and LDF and that LDF apoA-IV had a faster catabolism than HDL apoA-IV. ApoA-IV in chylomicrons is a direct precursor of apoA-IV in plasma HDL but not of that in LDF. On the other hand lymph LDF apoA-IV is an important precursor of plasma LDF apoA-IV. Transfer of apoA-IV from plasma to lymph is negligible, and since most of apoA-IV in lymph is present in LDF, we speculate that LDF apoA-IV is the major apoA-IV secretory product of the intestine. Studies aimed at identifying the site of catabolism of apoA-IV utilizing either radioiodinated or [14C]sucrose labelled apoA-IV, gave results consistent with the view that the liver plays a major role. When tested, human apoA-IV behaved in vivo in rat as the autologous protein. These findings, together with others previously published (Ghiselli, G. et al. (1987) J. Lipid Res. 27, 813-827), support the conclusion that the plasma metabolism of apoA-IV is remarkably similar in rat and human. We speculate that in mammals the rapid plasma catabolism of apoA-IV is mediated by an efficient uptake by the liver.

Abstract
The role of human plasma lipid transfer protein (LTP) in lipoprotein metabolism was studied in the rat, a species without endogenous cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol transfer activity. Partially purified human LTP was injected intravenously into rats. The plasma activity was between 1.5- and 4-fold that of human plasma during the experiments. 6 h after the injection of LTP, a significant increase in serum apoB, and no significant changes in serum total cholesterol, free cholesterol, triacylglycerols, apoA-I, apoE, or apoA-IV were noted. Cholesterol was increased in very-low density and low-density lipoproteins (VLDL and LDL) and decreased in large-sized apoE-rich HDL. ApoA-I-containing particles with a size smaller than in normal rats were present in serum of LTP-treated rats. The mean diameter of HDL particles decreased and apoE, normally present on large-sized HDL, was present on smaller sized particles. The metabolic fate of cholesteryl ester, originally associated with HDL, was studied by injection of [3H]cholesteryl linoleyl ether-labelled apoA-I-rich HDL in the absence and in the presence of LTP. The disappearance of [3H]cholesteryl linoleyl ether, injected as part of apoA-I-rich HDL, from serum was increased in the LTP-treated rats; the t1/2 changed from 3.9 to 2.2 h, resulting in an increased accumulation of [3H]cholesteryl linoleyl ether in the liver. This can be explained by the redistribution of HDL [3H]cholesteryl linoleyl ether to VLDL and LDL in the presence of LTP, leading to the combined contribution of VLDL, LDL and HDL to the hepatic uptake. The present findings show profound effects of LTP on the chemical composition of HDL subspecies, the size of HDL and on the plasma turnover and hepatic uptake of cholesteryl esters originally present in apo A-I-rich HDL.

Abstract
It is apparent from consideration of the reactions involved in cellular cholesterol homeostasis that passive transfer of unesterified cholesterol molecules plays a role in cholesterol transport in vivo. Studies in model systems have established that free cholesterol molecules can transfer between membranes by diffusion through the intervening aqueous layer. Desorption of free cholesterol molecules from the donor lipid-water interface is rate-limiting for the overall transfer process and the rate of this step is influenced by interactions of free cholesterol molecules with neighboring phospholipid molecules. The influence of phospholipid unsaturation and sphingomyelin content on the rate of free cholesterol exchange are known in pure phospholipid bilayers and similar effects probably occur in cell membranes. The rate of free cholesterol clearance from cells is determined by the structure of the plasma membrane. It follows that the physical state of free cholesterol in the plasma membrane is important for the kinetics of cholesterol clearance and cell cholesterol homeostasis, as well as the structure of the plasma membrane. Bidirectional flux of free cholesterol between cells and lipoproteins occurs and rate constants characteristic of influx and efflux can be measured. The direction of any net transfer of free cholesterol is determined by the relative free cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratios of the donor and acceptor particles. Cholesterol diffuses down its gradient of chemical potential generally partitioning to the phospholipid-rich particle. Such a surface transfer process can lead to delivery of cholesterol to cells. This mechanism operates independently of any lipoprotein internalization by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The influence of enzymes such as lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase and hepatic lipase on the direction of net transfer of free cholesterol between lipoproteins and cells can be understood in terms of their effects on the pool sizes and the rate constants for influx and efflux. Excess accumulation of free cholesterol in cells stimulates the rate of cholesteryl ester formation and induces deposition of cholesteryl ester inclusions in the cytoplasm similar to the situation in the 'foam' cells of atherosclerotic plaque. Clearance of cellular cholesteryl ester requires initial hydrolysis to free cholesterol followed by efflux of this free cholesterol. The rate of clearance of cholesteryl ester from cytoplasmic droplets is influenced by the physical state of the cholesteryl ester; liquid-crystalline cholesteryl ester is removed more slowly than cholesteryl ester in a liquid state.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Adult bovine aortic endothelial (ABAE) cells, exposed to serum-free medium, specifically bind 125I-labeled human high-density lipoprotein (125I-HDL). Addition of human lipoprotein-deficient serum (LPDS) reduces the specific binding of 125I-HDL in a concentration-dependent manner, such that LPDS at a concentration of 6 mg protein/ml almost completely inhibits the specific binding of 125I-HDL. ABAE cultures exposed to 125I-labeled LPDS (125I-LPDS) specifically bind two peptides, which appear as minor iodinated components in 125I-LPDS. The binding of these two components is abolished in the presence of excess amounts of unlabeled LPDS or HDL. Preincubation of ABAE cells with 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) results in an increase in the binding of the two 125I-LPDS components, similar to the increase observed in 125I-HDL binding in the presence of 25-HC. These two LPDS components comigrate on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV of molecular masses 28 kDa and 43 kDa respectively. Furthermore, these two proteins were transferred from the SDS gel to nitrocellulose paper and interacted specifically with anti-(A-I) and anti-(A-IV) sera respectively. When ABAE cultures, pretreated with 25-HC in the presence of LPDS, are subjected to cell-surface iodination, the A-IV appears as one of the major proteins on the cell surface accessible to iodination. The interaction of A-IV with the cell surface of 25-HC-treated cells is not specific to ABAE cells and appears also in human skin fibroblasts. Analysis of the relative amounts of various apolipoproteins in the 125I-HDL bound to ABAE cells demonstrates a decrease in the relative amount of iodinated A-II concomitant with increase in the relative amounts of the other iodinated apolipoproteins, when compared to the composition of the native 125I-HDL. These changes are similar whether the binding is done in the presence or absence of LPDS. It indicates that the decrease in 125I-HDL binding in the presence of LPDS is not due to displacement of the iodinated apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV in the 125I-HDL by unlabeled A-I and A-IV present in LPDS. The results indicate that free apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV, present in LPDS, can displace HDL on the cell surface of ABAE cells. Thus, free A-I and A-IV, present in plasma, control the binding of HDL to endothelial cells and may regulate the process of cholesterol removal from the cells performed by HDL.

Abstract
We have developed a specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for rat apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV). The protocol includes treatment of the samples for 1 h at 60 degrees C with 0.7% Tween 20. Under these conditions, linear logit-log plots have been obtained for apoA-IV in lymph and plasma lipoprotein fractions as well as for purified apoA-IV. The sensitivity of the assay is to 20 ng. Absolute mass values obtained with the assay were validated by comparison with values obtained with an independent method of colorimetric reading of apoA-IV separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis from plasma high density lipoproteins. The concentration of apoA-IV in fasting plasma averaged 10.2 mg/dl and in the mesenteric duct lymph 15.8 and 12.6 mg/dl during the fasting and the fat absorption states, respectively.

Abstract
Rat apoA-IV complexes with dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (apoA-IV-DMPC) have been prepared and their ability to bind to purified rat liver plasma membranes investigated. Binding equilibrium at 37 degrees C was reached in 30 minutes. Saturation binding experiments and subsequent analysis of the results with Scatchard plots gave results consistent with the presence of a single saturable binding site. DMPC or POPC unilamellar vesicles could not compete with apoA-IV-DMPC for binding; apoA-I-DMPC competed only partially. ApoE-poor HDL effectively competed with apoA-IV-DMPC. The fact that binding could be greatly reduced (greater than 70%) by preincubating the membrane with pronase (18 micrograms/ml), supports the conclusion that a membrane protein is involved in binding. Based on these results, we speculate that the rapid catabolism of apoA-IV in plasma may be mediated by a specific uptake mechanism in the liver. The implications of these results support the hypothesis that apoA-IV is involved in reverse cholesterol transport.

Abstract
The distribution of apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV among lymph lipoprotein fractions was studied after separation by molecular sieve chromatography, avoiding any ultracentrifugation. Lymph was obtained from rats infused either with a glucose solution or with a triacylglycerol emulsion. Relative to glucose infusion, triacylglycerol infusion caused a 20-fold increase in the output of triacylglycerol, coupled with a 4-fold increase in output of apolipoprotein A-IV. The output of apolipoprotein A-I was only elevated 2-fold. Chromatography on 6% agarose showed that lymph apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV are present on triacylglycerol-rich particles and on particles of the size of HDL. In addition, apolipoprotein A-IV is also present as 'free' apolipoprotein A-IV. The increase in apolipoprotein A-I output is caused by a higher output of A-I associated with large chylomicrons only, while the increase in apolipoprotein A-IV output is reflected by an increased output in all lymph lipoprotein fractions, including lymph HDL and 'free' apolipoprotein A-IV. The increased level of 'free' A-IV, seen in fatty lymph, may contribute to, and at least partly explain, the high concentrations of 'free' apolipoprotein A-IV present in serum obtained from fed animals.
