[HTML][HTML] Plasma clearance and liver uptake of chylomicron remnants generated by hepatic lipase lipolysis: evidence for a lactoferrin-sensitive and apolipoprotein E …

SE Crawford, J Borensztajn - Journal of lipid research, 1999 - ASBMB
Chylomicrons labeled with [3 H] cholesterol and [14 C] triglyceride fatty acids were lipolyzed
by hepatic lipase (HL) in vitro and then injected intravenously into normal mice fed low-or
high-fat diets, and into apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice. In normal mice fed the high-fat
diet and injected with non-lipolyzed chylomicrons, the plasma clearance and hepatic uptake
of the resulting [3 H] cholesterol-labeled remnants was markedly inhibited. In contrast,
chylomicrons lipolyzed by HL were taken up equally rapidly by the livers of mice fed the low …
