The nonionic detergent Triton WR-1339 was injected intravenously into normolipidemic dogs in a single dose of 150 mg/kg body weight followed by three other injections (75 mg/kg) on days 2, 6, and 12. The Triton produced a significant elevation of the plasma cholesterol of these animals, but not of their triglyceride levels, and profound changes of their plasma lipoproteins, particularly of the high density lipoprotein class. These changes were dependent on the concentration of Triton attained in plasma; when the levels were above 1.5 mg/ml, density gradient ultracentrifugation, electrophoretic, and chemical analyses indicated that an interaction between Triton and HDL had occurred. This interaction was attended by a gradual loss of the surface components of HDL, namely apoA-I, phospholipids, and unesterified cholesterol, and by the appearance of two cholesteryl ester-rich lipoproteins of d 1.019-1.024 g/ml and d 1.038-1.058 g/ml containing apoA-I and proteins with electrophoretic mobilities of apoB, apoE, and apoA-IV. At the time that these changes had occurred, the activities of the enzymes lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase and post-heparin lipase were unaffected. When 125I-labeled apoA-I was injected intravenously into animals receiving Triton, the residence time of the radiolabeled protein in plasma increased from a control value of 3.1 days to 7.2 days. However, the apparent half-times of the radiolabeled apoA-I varied among the lipoprotein fractions it was associated with: d 1.119-1.159 g/ml, 5.28 days; d 1.019-1.024 g/ml, 7.55 days, and d 1.038-1.058 g/ml, 5.39 days.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
