ABSTRACT
Hypercholesterolemic women (n = 19) sequentially maintained on a long-term saturated (SAT) or a polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acid-rich diet, respectively, were studied in the fasting state and after a meal rich in SAT or PUFA. When apo B-containing lipoprotein was excluded from plasma the in vitro HDL-14C-cholesterol esterification rate was identical for the saturated (SAT) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acid diets, and did not increase during the postprandial period. Rates of transfer of 14C-cholesteryl ester to apo B-containing lipoproteins from HDL were also similar for both diets in the fasting state and increased to the same extent in the postprandial period in parallel with the rise in plasma triglycerides. When transfer data were related to the plasma concentration of apo B, the gain of cholesteryl ester by the triglyceride-containing particles (VLDL + LDL) also increased in the postprandial period to a similar extent for both diets. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) concentration measured by radioimmunoassay was similar during both experimental diets, although greater in the postprandial period for the PUFA diet. The rate limiting factor for CETP-mediated transfer of HDL-derived cholesteryl ester (CE) was the plasma triglyceride concentration, that is, the content of triglycerides per lipoprotein particle and the quantity of TG-containing particles (VLDL + LDL). In contrast, the fatty acid composition of these particles had less effect on CETP-mediated CE transfer.
