Popis: To study the effect of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) on the plasma lipoproteins of patients with familial LCAT deficiency, whole plasma or the lipoprotein fraction of d < 1.006 g/ml (VLDL) was incubated in the presence of LCAT and subsequently examined by chemical, physical, and immunological techniques. The following occurred upon incubating either hyperlipemia or nonlipemic plasma: The concentrations of polar lipids decreased, particularly in the large molecular weight lipoprotein subfraction of d 1.019-1.063 g/ml (LDL2) and in the lipoprotein fraction of d 1.063-1.25 g/ml (HDL). The concentration of cholesteryl ester (CE) increased, particularly in the VLDL and in the lipoprotein fractions of d 1.006-1.019 g/ml (LDL1) and LDL2. The concentration of arginine-rich apolipoprotein decreased in the HDL and increased in the VLDL and LDLi. The concentrations of the C-apoliproteins appeared to change in the opposite direction. The concentration of apolipoprotein B in the LDL increased concomitan...
