Abstract
BACKGROUND In familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) the severity of the dyslipidemia is determined by an overproduction of VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) particles and by its abnormal lipid composition. However, few are known regarding the metabolic factors that determine these abnormalities. We investigated the impact of metabolic factors on the number of atherogenic particles (apolipoprotein B level (apoB)) and the triglyceride content of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs-TG). METHODS A cross-sectional study done in FCHL subjects and gender and age-matched healthy subjects. A clinical assessment, lipid profile and plasma concentrations of insulin, apolipoprotein CIII (apo CIII), apolipoprotein AII (apo AII), high sensitive C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), adiponectin and leptin were documented in 147 FCHL patients and 147 age-matched healthy subjects. Multivariate regression models were performed to investigate the independent determinants of VLDL-TG and apo B levels adjusting for confounding factors. RESULTS The variables that determined the VLDL-triglyceride content as a surrogate of VLDL composition were apo CIII (β=0.365, p<0.001), insulin (β=0.281, p<0.001), Apo AII (β=0.145, p<0.035), and adiponectin levels (β=-0.255, p<0.001). This model explained 34% of VLDL composition (VLDL-TG) variability. However, none of these variables were independent contributors of apo B-containing particles. CONCLUSIONS In patients with FCHL apo CIII, apo AII and adiponectin are major novel factors determining the VLDL particle composition. However, such factors do not explain apo B-containing particles.

Abstract
Objective—
Apolipoprotein AII (apoAII) is the second major apolipoprotein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, the physiological functions of apoAII in lipoprotein metabolism have not been fully elucidated.
Methods and Results—
We generated human apoAII transgenic (Tg) rabbits, a species that normally does not have an endogenous apoAII gene. Plasma levels of human apoAII in Tg rabbits were ≈30 mg/dL, similar to the plasma levels in healthy humans. The expression of human apoAII in Tg rabbits resulted in increased levels of plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol, and phospholipids accompanied by a marked reduction in HDL-cholesterol levels compared with non-Tg littermates. Analysis of lipoprotein fractions showed that hyperlipidemia exhibited by Tg rabbits was caused by elevated levels of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoproteins. Furthermore, postheparin lipoprotein lipase activity significantly decreased in Tg rabbits compared with non-Tg rabbits.
Conclusions—
These results indicate that apoAII plays an important role in both VLDL and HDL metabolism, possibly through the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase activity. ApoAII Tg rabbits may become a new model for the study of human familial combined hyperlipidemia.
