Abstract
The variations in lipid metabolism according to the physiological stage and their relationship to the resumption of postpartum ovarian cyclicity were assessed in Limousine beef cows fed a grass diet over 3 yr. Weekly blood samples were collected from 59 cows beginning 10 wk before to 20 wk after calving to evaluate serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations and electrophoretic lipoprotein fractions. After parturition, progesterone concentrations were also measured at weekly intervals to determine time of resumption of ovulation. Cows were categorized by resumption of postpartum ovarian cyclicity into 3 groups: early (4 to 6 wk post partum, n = 36); mid (7 to 10 wk post partum, n = 46) and late (after 11 wk post partum, n = 38). Higher serum triglyceride values (P<0.05) were observed during the last 10 wk of pregnancy (0.36+/-0.15 g/L) than during the first 20 wk of suckling (0.29+/-0.09 g/L). Cholesterol values decreased significantly (P<0.05) at the end of pregnancy, were minimal (1.01+/-0.03 g/L) at parturition, and increased again up to 9 wk post calving. Increased cholesterolemia and low serum triglyceride values after calving could be linked to the increased bovine alpha-lipoprotein fraction and decreased beta fraction. Serum triglyceride concentrations were not related to the resumption of postpartum ovarian cyclicity. Higher serum cholesterol values were observed from 2 wk before to 4 wk after calving in cows with early rather than mid and late resumption of ovarian cyclicity. Therefore, modifications in lipid metabolism during the puerperium seem to be related to resumption of cyclicity during the early postpartum period.

Abstract
The relationships between fatty liver in dairy cows and reduced levels of plasma lipoproteins, and particularly of low density lipoproteins (LDL), has been previously described. Since electrophoretic heterogeneity of ultracentrifugally isolated LDL (d, 1.006-1.063 g/ml) has been found, the exact nature of this reduction in cows with fatty liver was investigated. Lipoproteins from control and severely afflicted animals were isolated by ultracentrifugation and affinity chromatography on heparin-Sepharose CL 6 B. Gradient gel electrophoresis of lipoproteins on 4-30% gels and an immunolocalization study of apoprotein A-I (apo A-I) showed that control animals have two subpopulations of apo A-I-containing particles with a mean radius of 6.52 and 5.05 nm. In the fatty liver cows, the former was clearly shifted toward smaller particles. We concluded that the depressed level and compositional modifications of LDL in severe fatty liver cows result from a decrease in the oversized apo A-I-containing lipoproteins which can be isolated in the LDL density range. This could stem from the decreased supply of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein surface components for the production of these lipoproteins. The modifications can be plausibly explained by a reduced synthesis or secretion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) by the liver.

Abstract
Methionine hydroxy analog has been proposed to stimulate hepatic lipoprotein synthesis and incorporation of plasma fatty acids into plasma triglyceride. Seven cows were fed diets containing 0 or 30 g analog/d starting 14 d prepartum. At approximately 30 and 60 d postpartum, cows were continuously infused intravenously with 1-[14C] palmitic acid for 160 min to achieve steady-state labeling of plasma fatty acid and triglyceride. Turnover of fatty acid and transfer quotients for triglyceride and CO2 were 3.3 and 2.7 mmol min-1; 13.0 and 10.0%; and 8.0 and 5.0%, for control and analog, respectively. Proportion of fatty acid turnover incorporated into triglyceride and CO2 were 14.0 and 15.0%; and 21.0 and 18.0, respectively, for control and analog. Analog increased 14C recovered in milk fat (52 vs. 36%). Plasma concentration of fatty acids, percent oxidized to CO2, and percent of CO2 from fatty acids decreased with increasing lactation days. Milk fat percent and yield, fatty acid turnover, and oxidation were positively correlated with concentration of plasma fatty acids, whereas fatty acid incorporated into plasma triglyceride was negatively correlated with fatty acid concentration. The data suggest that hepatic triglyceride secretion is not increased in early lactation; further, no effects of analog on lipid metabolism were detected.

Abstract
Lipoproteins from the plasma of three nonlactating Holstein cows were isolated using either preparative ultracentrifugation or gel filtration chromatography. Lipoprotein classes obtained by ultracentrifugation were very low density plus chylomicra, less than 1.006 g/ml; low density, 1.007-1.039 g/ml; high density1, 1.040-1.063 g/ml; and high density, 1.064-1.22 g/ml. These lipoprotein classes were individually applied to an agarose gel column to determine at what volume they eluted in comparison to lipoproteins that were separated after applying total bovine lipoproteins to the column. Three major peaks corresponding to very low density lipoproteins plus chylomicra, low density, and high density lipoproteins resulted after gel filtration of total lipoproteins. Very low density lipoproteins plus chylomicra, obtained by ultracentrifugation, eluted as a single peak, as did low density and high density lipoproteins. However, high density1 lipoproteins eluted as two peaks. The first peak eluted at the same volume as low density lipoproteins, and the second peak eluted at a volume similar to that of the ascending slope of the high density lipoprotein peak. Results from disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis and double immunodiffusion of lipoprotein fractions, and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of their apoproteins, similarly indicated that the lipoproteins present in the 1.040-1.063 g/ml density interval are a mixture of low and high density lipoproteins rather than a unique class of lipoproteins.

Abstract
Bovine serum lipoproteins were fractionated into high density and low and very low density lipoproteins by precipitation with sodium phosphotungstate and magnesium chloride. From each lipoprotein fraction seven apo C peptides were isolated by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The two lipoprotein fractions probably contain identical apo C peptides but in different proportions. Two of the apo C peptides activated lipoprotein lipase from milk in vitro. Their specific activities were about 2000 times as high as that of the original serum. The apo C fraction from low-very low density lipoproteins had a specific activity three times that from high density lipoproteins. Also, the activator peptides from low and very low density lipoproteins gave one band on alkaline urea gel electrophoresis whereas corresponding peptides from high density lipoproteins were slightly heterogeneous. The low and very low density lipoproteins, therefore, seem to be the fraction of choice for isolation of activators for lipoprotein lipase.

Abstract
Electron micrographs of bovine triglyceride-rich lipoproteins demonstrated spherical particles with diameters up to 3000 A. Chylomicron-size particles (larger than 750 A) were isolated specifically by rate zonal centrifugation. Subfractionation by rate zonal centrifugation, isopycnic centrifugation, and gel filtration chromatography all indicated a wide range of bovine triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from chylomicrons to very low density lipoproteins. Chemical analysis of subfractions from gel filtration showed changes in the ratio of triglyceride/protein characteristic of chylomicrons versus very low density lipoproteins. Electrophoretic analysis on agarose gels of bovine chylomicrons obtained by centrifugation and gel filtration showed migrating bands similar to very low density lipoproteins, unlike human chylomicrons. Evidence of bovine chylomicrons provides support for the concept of a significant contribution to milk fat from intestinally absorbed lipid in the dairy cow.

Abstract
Effects of feeding an oil seed supplement treated with formalin upon lipid patterns of blood and synthesis of milk fat were evaluated. Percentages and yields of fatty acids of milk fat with chain lengths between 6 and 16 carbons were decreased while percentages and yields of stearate and linoleate were increased when the lipid supplement was fed. Calculations in cows fed control and supplement, 60% and 80%, respectively, of fatty acids of milk were derived from lipids of blood were supported by arterial-venous differences. Comparisons of the fatty acid compositions of triacylglycerol of plasma and milk fat suggested that triacylglycerol may not be the sole source of linoleate transferred from blood to milk fat. A preliminary evaluation of supplement effects upon lipoprotein patterns of serum indicated two peaks in the low density lipoprotein class and that the increase in total cholesterol of blood caused by feeding lipid supplement is due to increases in cholesterol content of the low density and high density lipoprotein classes.

Abstract
1. Most of the lipids in the hemolymph of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, were associated with a high density lipoprotein (HDL3). The lipid of this lipoprotein was composed of phospholipid (88%), sterol (4%) and triglyceride (3%). 2. In animals fed 14C-labeled triglyceride radioactivity was not seen in the serum until 12 hr after feeding. Most of this serum radioactivity was associated with phosphatidyl choline. 3. Electron micrographs showed that negatively stained high density lipoproteins of the lobster had a polymorphic appearance.

Abstract
Summarization of the literature shows a strong correlation between dietary fatty acid intake and total lipid concentration in plasma in lactating cows whereas total milk fat secreted is related to neither of these. In the process of plasma triglyceride removal, chylomicra and very low density lipoproteins are converted to low density lipoproteins. Limited kinetic data indicate that the fractional removal rates for chulomicra and very low density lipoproteins are rapid in lactating cows whereas fractional removal of low density lipoproteins is slower, resulting in accumulation of the latter in plasma. Under such conditions, low density lipoprotein concentrations of plasma would not be expected to reflect quantitatively the transfer of plasma triglyceride fatty acids to milk fat. Quantitative analysis or triglyceride fatty acid turnover in density less than 1.006 lipoproteins should delineate the role of plasma lipid transport in milk fat synthesis. High fat diets protected from rumen biohydrogenation have proven to be a useful approach in studying ruminant fat metabolism and may be used more extensively to elucidate the role of cholesterol in plasma lipid transport and the metabolism of essential fatty acids in ruminants.

Abstract
Pure samples of low density lipoprotein-one (d 1.019 to 1.039 g/ml), low density lipoprotein-two (d 1.039 to 1.060 g/ml), and high density lipoprotein (d 1.060 to 1.210 g/ml) were isolated from bovine serum and their properties studied in the analytical ultracentrifuge. Approach-to-equilibrium experiments indicated that the lipoprotein classes were homogeneous. Molecular weights of the lipoproteins given by this method (low density lipoprotein-one, 1.14 x 10(6); low density lipoprotein-two, 2.37 x 10(6); high density lipoprotein, .576 x 10(6)) agreed well with those obtained by a high-speed-equilibrium method (1.03 x 10(6), 2.15 x 10(6), and .567 x 10(6)). Linear plots of flotation rate (corrected for viscosity) against the density of the medium were obtained in sedimentation velocity experiments and on extrapolation gave values for the hydrated density of 1.032 g/ml for low density lipoprotein-one, 1.044 g/ml for low density lipoprotein-two, and 1.071 g/ml for high density lipoprotein. The density of the material which would have to be added to high density lipoprotein to give it the physical properties of low density lipoprotein one was less than 1 g/ml, which suggested that it was predominantly lipid.

Abstract
Four classes of bovine serum lipoproteins were isolated by precipitation with dextran sulfate, ultracentrifugation, and preparative electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Very low density lipoprotein (d less than 1.019 g/ml) was related immunologically to low density lipoprotein-two (d 1.039 to 1.060 g/ml) and high density lipoprotein (d 1.060 to 1.210 g/ml) was related immunologically to low density lipoprotein-one (d 1.019 to 1.039 g/ml), but the two pairs were immunologically distinct. The major N-terminal amino acid of both high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein-one was aspartic acid, and that of low density lipoprotein-two was glutamic acid. Very low density lipoprotein had both aspartic acid and glutamic acid as the major N-terminal amino acids. None of the lipoproteins was identical with any other with respect to amino acid composition, but high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein-one were similar to each other and different from low density lipoprotein-two. Very low density lipoprotein was similar to both low density lipoprotein-one and low density lipoprotein-two. It is concluded that the proteins of high density lipoprotein and of low density lipoprotein-one are related and are different from that of low density lipoprotein-two. The protein of very low density lipoprotein is related to that of low density lipoprotein-two but may contain polypeptides of high density lipoprotein or low density lipoprotein-one.

Abstract
Position 4 labeled carbon-14 cholesterol was placed in abomasums (stomachs) of two lactating goats. Blood and milk samples were collected from the animals for 5 to 13 days. Specific activities of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters in various fractions of blood serum and milk were determined to reveal pathways by which dietary cholesterol enters milk. Results with the two animals showed similar trends. Within 24 h both cholesterol and cholesteryl esters of the three principal serum lipoproteins of the goat were labeled, and this labeling persisted in substantial degree for the 13-day experiment. Specific acities for cholesteryl esters in milk fat globules exhibited several remarkable attributes: they fluctuated in intensity with a 3-to 4-day cycle reaching a maximum at 7 to 8 days after tracer injection; they exceeded cholesteryl ester specific activity in the skim milk by an order of magnitude; and at their maximum they exceeded all specific activities for serum components. The results of this investigation exemplify the ease with which dietary cholesterol enters and crosses membranes in the animal body.
