Popis: Apolipoprotein kinetics are customarily determined by modeling time curves of specific radioactivity or isotopic enrichment in plasma after intravenous infusion of radiolabeled lipoproteins or stable isotope-enriched amino acids. However, this provides no information on the fractional rate of transfer of the apolipoprotein from plasma to interstitial fluid (kp-if) or its mean residence time in interstitial fluid (MRTif). To determine these parameters for a pharmacologic dose of exogenous apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) given intravenously as apoA-I/lecithin discs, we measured apoA-I in plasma and prenodal leg lymph in five healthy men before, during, and after a 4 h infusion at 10 mg/kg/h. ApoA-I concentrations in plasma and lymph were modeled by linear compartmental models (SAAM II version 1.1), using lymph albumin to adjust for the effects of variations in lymph flow rate. kp-if averaged 0.75%/h (range, 0.33–1.32), and MRTif averaged 29.1 h (14.1–40.0). Neither parameter was correlated with the distribution volume (57–105 ml/kg) or the fractional elimination rate (1.44–2.91%/h) of apoA-I, determined by modeling plasma apoA-I concentration alone. Although used here to study the mass kinetics of apoA-I, if combined with infusion of a tracer, analysis of lymph could also expand the modeling of endogenous apolipoprotein kinetics.
