【 摘 要 】

This study investigates the importance of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (PPARα) for serum apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels and hepatic secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins. Total serum apoB and VLDL-apoB levels were higher in female PPARα-null mice compared with female wild-type mice, but no difference was seen in male mice. Furthermore, hepatic triglyceride secretion rate, determined in vivo after Triton WR1339 injection, was 2.4-fold higher in female PPARα-null mice compared with female wild-type mice, but no difference was observed in male mice. However, when fed a high fat diet, male PPARα-null mice displayed 2-fold higher serum levels of apoB and LDL cholesterol compared with male wild-type mice, but triglyceride levels were not affected. Hepatic LDL receptor protein levels were not influenced by PPARα deficiency, gender, or the fat diet. Hepatocyte cultures from female PPARα-null mice (cultured for 4 days in serum free medium) showed 2-fold higher total apoB secretion and increased secretion of apoB-48 VLDL, as well as 2.7-fold larger accumulation of VLDL-triglycerides in the medium compared with wild-type cultures. In conclusion, PPARα-deficient female mice, but not males, display high serum apoB associated with VLDL and increased hepatic triglyceride secretion. Moreover, male PPARα-null mice show increased susceptibility to high fat diet in terms of serum apoB levels.—Lindén, D., M. Alsterholm, H. Wennbo, and J. Oscarsson.
