title: A comparison of the composition and catabolism in vitro of porcine very low density lipoprotein subfractions prepared by gel exclusion and heparin-affinity chromatography.
abstract: A comparison of the subfractions prepared from porcine plasma very low density lipoproteins by gel exclusion and heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography revealed that the smallest and largest particles had the highest affinity for the glycosaminoglycan and had the highest ratio of apolipoprotein E to apolipoprotein CII. When the rates of triglyceride hydrolysis catalysed by lipoprotein lipase were compared for the subfractions the results were consistent with the view that apolipoprotein E may play a role in facilitating the catabolism of very low density lipoprotein triglyceride in the presence of glycosaminoglycan.
