Tri[14C]acylglycerol-labelled chylomicrons, obtained from cannulated mesenteric lymph of streptozotocin-diabetic donor rats, when intravenously injected into non-diabetic recipient rats, disappeared from the circulation at a significantly slower rate than similarly prepared tri[14C]acylglycerol chylomicrons from non-diabetic donor rats (t1/2, 5.6 +/- 0.7 vs. 3.2 +/- 0.5 min-1, P less than 0.02). The appearance of labelled lipolysis products among plasma lipids (free fatty acid, cholesterol ester and phospholipid fractions) was delayed, indicating decreased availability for lipolysis of the chylomicron-borne triacylglycerol of diabetic origin. Tissue distribution of triacylglycerol, 15 min after the injection of chylomicrons to recipient rats, disclosed a 4-5-fold increase in uptake by muscles (heart and diaphragm) in relation to adipose tissues (epididymal and perirenal sites), in the case of chylomicrons of diabetic derivation. Since a large share of the chylomicron triacylglycerol was taken up by the liver, this tissue was perfused with chylomicron 'remnants' prepared by partial in vitro lipolysis with purified lipoprotein lipase. The 'remnants' of diabetic derivation were taken up by the liver at a 2-3-fold slower rate than those of non-diabetic origin. Chylomicrons derived from diabetic rats were found to be similar in size but markedly depleted of E apolipoproteins as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focussing and a specific immunoassay. Decreases were also seen in A-I apolipoproteins by immunoassay and isoelectric focussing. Chylomicron 'remnants' were also markedly apolipoprotein E-deficient. In vitro incubation of the 'diabetic remnants' with high-density lipoproteins raised their apolipoprotein E content approx. 3-fold and considerably increased their hepatic uptake. Injection of intact chylomicrons preincubated with high-density lipoproteins likewise increased their in vivo removal rate toward the range of that of 'non-diabetic' chylomicrons. We conclude that diabetes-induced changes in the apolipoprotein composition of the chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants play an important role in their removal from the circulation. It appears that their recognition pattern is altered, reducing their ability to interact with receptor sites in the peripheral tissues and the liver, respectively.
