| Popis: | The lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity of lipoprotein depleted normal and fish eye disease (FED) plasma was assayed in a modified Glomset-Wright incubation system where the enzyme was allowed to act on three different normal lipoprotein substrates consisting of an authentic mixture of very low (VLDL), low (LDL) and high (HDL) density lipoproteins to assay total LCAT activity, HDL to assay alpha-LCAT activity and combined VLDL and LDL to assay beta-LCAT activity, respectively. However, using normal plasma depleted of HDL, leaving its combined VLDL and LDL as enzyme substrate, resulted in a more than twofold increase in the LCAT activity of FED plasma from the two patients compared to the activity obtained with HDL present in the incubation mixture, indicating an inhibitory effect of HDL on the beta-LCAT activity present in FED plasma. This inhibitory effect of normal HDL could also be demonstrated by autoincubation of FED plasma mixed with isolated HDL2 or HDL3. Both these HDL subfractions had a pronounced inhibitory effect on the cholesteryl ester formation in FED plasma. The present study thus clearly demonstrates that normal HDL inhibits the beta-LCAT activity present in FED plasma, esterifying the free cholesterol of combined VLDL and LDL, derived from controls as well as from the two FED patients. |
