Abstract

The effect of hepatic lipase (HL) deficiency on the susceptibility to atherosclerosis was tested using mice with combined deficiencies in HL and apoE. Mice lacking both HL and apoE (hhee) have a plasma total cholesterol of 917 +/- 252 mg/dl (n = 24), which is 184% that of mice lacking only apoE (HHee; 497 +/- 161 mg/dl, n = 20, p < 0. 001). The increase in cholesterol was mainly in beta-migrating very low density lipoproteins, although high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) was also increased (53 +/- 37 versus 20 +/- 13 mg/dl, p < 0.01). Despite the increase in plasma cholesterol, we found that HL deficiency significantly decreased aortic plaque sizes in female mice fed normal chow (31 x 10(3) +/- 22 x 10(3) microm2 in hhee versus 115 x 10(3) +/- 69 x 10(3) microm2 in HHee, p < 0.001). Reduction of plaque sizes was also observed in female heterozygous apoE-deficient mice fed an atherogenic diet (2 x 10(3) +/- 2.5 x 10(3) microm2 in hhEe versus 56 x 10(3) +/- 49 x 10(3) microm2 in HHEe, p < 0.01). Changes in aortic lesion size were not apparent in the small number of male mice studied. In HHee females, both HDLc and the capacity of high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles to promote cholesterol efflux from cultured cells were 26% of the wild type. The absence of HL in hhee females partially restored HDLc levels to 57% and cholesterol efflux to 55% of the wild type. Circulating pre-beta1-migrating HDL were present in all mutants, suggesting that there are alternative pathways in the formation of these pre-beta-HDL not involving apoE, HL, or cholesteryl ester transfer protein. The improved capacity to promote cholesterol efflux, together with increased HDL, may explain why these animals can overcome the increase in atherogenic lipoproteins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
