Exogenous cholesterol transport in rabbit plasma lipoproteins.

ABSTRACT: 1. The appearance of exogenous cholesterol in free cholesterol and ester cholesterol of plasma chylomicra, very-low-density (VLD), low-density (LD) and high-density (HD) lipoproteins was studied in unanaesthetized rabbits after ingestion of a meal containing 5% fat and 0.08% [(3)H]cholesterol. 2. The specific radioactivity of ester cholesterol of VLD lipoproteins reached the highest value of any lipoprotein fraction and for each lipoprotein it increased at a faster rate and reached a higher maximum than that of free cholesterol; the maximum in VLD lipoproteins occurred later than in chylomicra. 3. The pattern of appearance of exogenous cholesterol in chylomicra and VLD lipoproteins of plasma was similar to the pattern previously observed in lymph. The specific radioactivity of ester cholesterol in plasma VLD lipoproteins was higher than that in chylomicra in spite of a larger pool size and dilution of cholesteryl esters from VLD lipoproteins produced by the liver. These results support the concept that during absorption the major portion of exogenous cholesterol is transported in VLD lipoproteins as ester cholesterol. 4. The specific radioactivity of ester cholesterol of chylomicra and VLD lipoproteins increased at a faster rate than that of LD and HD lipoproteins. However, the rate of increase and the absolute values of the specific radioactivity in LD and HD lipoproteins were identical. Since cholesteryl esters are thought not to exchange between lipoproteins, this observation supports the hypothesis that a result of VLD lipoprotein and chylomicron metabolism is the formation of LD and HD lipoproteins. 5. Results in vivo showed that the free cholesterol of individual plasma lipoproteins does not equilibrate within a period of 24h.

Project description:ContextCottonseed oil (CSO) is higher in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFAs) than many liquid plant oils.ObjectivesTo conduct a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining effects of CSO on markers of lipid metabolism and evaluate lipid and lipoprotein effects of incorporating CSO into a healthy dietary pattern using regression equations.Data sourcesA systematic search was conducted for RCTs comparing CSO with a non-CSO comparator in any population.Data analysesThe Katan regression equation was used to predict lipid/lipoprotein changes when incorporating CSO into a US-style healthy eating pattern at 25 to 100% of the total oil allowance (ie, 27 g/2000 kcal) compared with average American intake (NHANES 2017 to 2020 pre-COVID pandemic).ResultsIn total, 3 eligible publications (n = 2 trials), with 58 participants that provided 44% and 30% of total energy as CSO, were included. Fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; ≈ -7.7 mg/dL) and triglycerides (≈ -7.5 mg/dL) were lower after 5 days of a CSO-enriched diet vs olive oil (OO). In a 56-day trial, CSO lowered total cholesterol (TC; ≈ -14.8 mg/dL), LDL-C (≈ -14.0 mg/dL), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (≈ -14.2 mg/dL) vs OO. Postprandially, angiopoietin-like protein-3, -4, and -8 concentrations decreased with CSO and increased with OO intake. Compared with average American intake, a healthy eating pattern with 27 g of CSO was estimated to lower TC (-8.1 mg/dL) and LDL-C (-7.3 mg/dL) levels, with minimal reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-1.1 mg/dL). Compared with the healthy eating pattern, incorporating 27 g of CSO was predicted to increase TC and LDL-C levels by 2.4 mg/dL.ConclusionLimited high-quality research suggests CSO may improve lipid/lipoprotein levels compared with OO. Cholesterol predictive equations suggest CSO can be incorporated into a healthy dietary pattern without significantly affecting lipids/lipoproteins.
