RESUMO
Plasma lipoproteins of d<1.006 g/ml, d 1.006-1.019 g/ml, and d 1.019-1.063 g/ml from patients with familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency yielded abnormal subfractions upon being separately filtered through 2% agarose gel. A subfraction that emerged with the void volume and contained unusually large amounts of unesterified cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine was present in each lipoprotein group, and in each group this subfraction was less prominent in the nonlipemic plasma of one patient than in the lipemic plasma of other patients. A subfraction containing smaller lipoproteins also was present in each lipoprotein group. These lipoproteins were of the same size as normal lipoproteins of the corresponding density, but contained abnormally small amounts of cholesteryl ester. The lipoproteins of 1.019-1.063 g/ml contained abnormal components of intermediate molecular weight as well as large and small abnormal components similar to those described previously. The intermediate components were more prominent in the nonlipemic plasma but were easily recognized in the hyperlipemic plasma as a peak of Sf 20-30 in the analytical ultracentrifuge. Also they could be recognized, upon electron microscopy of the lipoproteins of d 1.019-1.063 g/ml, as particles 340-1000 Å in diameter.
