title: Plasma lipid transport in the horse (Equus caballus).
abstract: 1. Equine plasma contains lipoproteins corresponding to very low density (VLDL), low density (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL). 2. HDL accounts for approximately 60% of plasma lipoprotein mass and consists of a single population of particles. 3. LDL is heterogeneous comprising three discrete subfractions. 4. Two proteins are found in the region of apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 in VLDL and LDL and a third similar to apoB-48 is in VLDL. 5. Lecithin:cholesterol acyl transferase is active in plasma and hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase are evident in post-heparin plasma. 6. There is no significant cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity.
