| Abstract | The beta-very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) that accumulate in type III hyperlipoproteinemic subjects can be divided into two fractions (fraction I and fraction II), which differ in size, lipid composition, and the type of apolipoprotein B (apo-B) present in the particles. The apo-B48-containing particles (fraction I) are of intestinal origin, while apo-B100-containing particles (fraction II) are derived from the liver. Both fractions contain a defective form of apo-E referred to as apo-E2. Intravenous infusion of heparin into two subjects with type III hyperlipoproteinemia resulted in the complete removal of fraction II particles from density less than 1.006 g/ml, while fraction I particles remained at this density. In vitro studies confirmed that fraction I particles did not change density when subjected to hydrolysis with lipoprotein lipase, while fraction II particles shifted to the intermediate density lipoprotein range (approximately equal to 1.02 g/ml). When the beta-VLDL were hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase in the presence of density greater than 1.21 g/ml lipoprotein-deficient plasma, the addition of normal apo-E (apo-E3), but not apo-E2, resulted in a shift of fraction II particles to the low density lipoprotein (LDL) range (approximately equal to 1.05 g/ml). Fraction I particles did not undergo a shift to this higher density, supporting previous observations that apo-B48-containing particles are not converted to LDL. The demonstration that apo-B100-containing particles in type III hyperlipoproteinemic subjects could be converted to particles with the density of LDL suggests that apo-E plays a role in the normal conversion of VLDL to LDL. The mutant form of apo-E (apo-E2) found in the beta-VLDL from type III hyperlipoproteinemic subjects appears to impede this conversion, whereas the addition of normal apo-E (apo-E3) allows the processing to occur. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
