dc.description.abstractLiver disease is accompanied by major qualitative and quantitative disturbances in plasma lipoprotein metabolism, the extent and intensity of which depend on the degree of parenchymal damage, cholestasis, or both. The main objective of this study was to determine the cholesteryl ester transfer CETP activity and its association with the lipoprotein neutral lipid composition in patients with either liver cirrhosis or cholestasis, as compared to normal controls. Lipoproteins were isolated by ultracentrifugation, lipids and apolipoproteins were measured by conventional methods, and the fatty acid composition was established by gas chromotography; CETP activity in lipoprotein-deficient plasma was measured by determining the transfer of [3H]cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL. Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities were measured in post-heparin plasma by radiochemical methods. In patients with liver cirrhosis, low levels of VLDL, HDL, apo B, and Lp(a) were observed, as well as a change in the composition of HDL particles, with increases in the relative proportion of triglyceride and free cholesterol. Respectively, the last two changes could be attributed in part to the low hepatic lipase activity observed in this study, and to the low lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity previously observed by others. In patients with cholestasis, a moderate hyperlipidemia due to the elevation of LDL was found. In contrast, HDL and apo A-I levels were very low reflecting a low number of HDL particles, which also had altered compositions with increases in the triglyceride and free cholesterol contents relative to apo A-I and esterified cholesterol, respectively. As regards the fatty acid composition of lipoprotein lipids, the two groups of patients showed, in general, a lower proportion of linoleic acid and a compensating higher proportion of oleic acid as compared to the controls, changes that were observed in both cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. In contrast, the proportions of oleic and palmitoleic acids in phospholipids were increased, whereas that of stearic acid was decreased in patients as compared to controls. In patients with liver cirrhosis, as well as in controls, no changes were observed in the fatty acid compositions of cholesteryl ester, triglycerides, or phospholipids among the different lipoproteins, which probably reflects the equilibration reached by the action of CETP. In patients with cholestasis, no differences were observed in fatty acid composition among the lipoprotein phospholipids but, interestingly, cholesteryl esters from VLDL had a significantly lower linoleic acid content than those from HDL, whereas triglycerides from VLDL had significantly higher oleic acid and lower linoleic acid contents than those from HDL. This distinct fatty acid composition of the neutral lipids between lipoproteins was associated with a significant decrease (25%) in the cholesteryl ester transfer activity in patients with cholestasis. We suggest that fat malabsorption due to the biliary defect may induce a decrease in cholesteryl ester transfer protein synthesis or secretion, which in turn would slow the equilibration of the neutral lipids among plasma lipoproteins.en_EN
