| Abstract | Homozygous Watanabe hereditary hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits have a near-complete deficiency of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in liver and other tissues. As a result, these rabbits clear LDL from plasma at an abnormally slow rate. In the current studies we show that WHHL rabbits clear chylomicrons from plasma at a normal rate. Chylomicrons are cleared by a two-step process: (i) hydrolysis of triglycerides in extrahepatic tissues to yield cholesteryl ester-rich remnant particles and (ii) rapid uptake of the remnants by liver. Normal and WHHL rabbits were given intravenous injections of rat chylomicrons labeled either in the lipid portion with [3H]cholesterol and [14C]palmitate or in the protein portion with [125]iodine. All radiolabeled components were removed from plasma at comparable rates in normal and WHHL rabbits. Comparable amounts of radioactivity accumulated in livers of animals from both genotypes. In vitro assays showed that liver membranes from WHHL rabbits were markedly deficient in the binding of 125I-labeled chylomicron remnants as well as 125I-labeled LDL, implying that chylomicron remnants can bind to the hepatic LDL receptor. We conclude that the rabbit liver normally has at least two genetically distinct lipoprotein uptake mechanisms, both of which recognize chylomicron remnants: (i) the LDL receptor and (ii) a specific chylomicron remnant uptake mechanism that is not measured adequately by current in vitro membrane binding assays. WHHL rabbits possess a normal chylomicron remnant uptake mechanism that allows them to clear chylomicrons from plasma at a rapid rate despite their genetic deficiency of LDL receptors. |

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.
