The turnover of human plasma very low density lipoprotein protein.
The plasma decay of three groups of iodinated apoproteins on human very low density lipoproteins were evauluated in two normals, two subjects with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia and another two with dysbetalipoproteinemia. The apo beta decay was more rapid than that of the C apoproteins in all patients. The apo beta decay was more rapid for the normals than for either the subjects with hypertriglyceridemia or dysbetalipoprotenemia. The apo C protein had an irregular decay in the normals but decayed less irregularly for the hypertriglyceridemics. The arginine rich apoprotein had a decay somewhat similar to apo C protein in the normals. The apo beta protein of the alpha2 very low density lipoprotein of a dysbetalipoproteinemic was consistent with a precursor relationship to the apo beta of beta very low density lipoprotein of this subject, but the arginine rich apoprotein was not.
