Plasma lipid transfer in fish-eye disease.
Fish-eye disease is a familial condition characterized by corneal opacities and dyslipoproteinaemia with, i.a., pronounced enrichment of plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) with triglycerides. Cholesterol ester and triglyceride transferase activities in lipoprotein-free plasma have been measured in two patients with fish-eye disease and found to be normal. This indicates that a deficiency of plasma lipid transfer protein is not involved in the abnormal composition of LDL in fish-eye disease.
