Smaller size particles of intestinal origin may be more relevant to atherosclerosis than larger particles because of easier transendothelial transport. We examined the diurnal pattern in response to low-fat high-carbohydrate meals and the effect of a single high-fat milkshake on apoB-48 in very light Sf degrees >400, light Sf degrees 60-400, and dense Sf degrees 20-60 VLDL, IDL, and LDL in 24 subjects (12 in each study). After the high-fat meal, apoB-48 concentrations peaked at 3 h for very light VLDL, 4 h for light VLDL, and 5 h for dense VLDL and IDL, suggesting a delipidation cascade. The diurnal pattern was characterized by a sharp increase in light and dense VLDL apoB-48 after breakfast, reaching the highest concentration 4-8h after breakfast. Less response was observed after lunch, dinner or snack, despite 75% of energy supplied by these meals. The proportion of apoB-48 in LDL in the fasting state ranged between 48 and 54%. LDL apoB-48 concentration decreased by 35% after the high-fat meal, and slowly recovered to near fasting concentrations after 10-12 h. In contrast, in the diurnal study, LDL apoB-48 concentration steady increased peaking 13 h after breakfast, followed by a sharp decrease. In sum, most intestinally synthesized apoB lipoproteins circulate in LDL, and are likely formed in the late postprandial period from larger VLDL-size particles. Although small apoB-48 lipoproteins may be atherogenic remnant particles, their very low concentration may diminish their clinical significance.
