The Serum High Density Lipoproteins of Macacus rhesus

I. ISOLATION, COMPOSITION, AND PROPERTIES

From the ¹ From the Departments of Medicine, Biochemistry, and Pathology, University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine, and The McLean Memorial Research Institute, Chicago, Illinois 60637

The serum high density lipoproteins, HDL₂ (d 1.063 to 1.125 g per ml) and HDL₃ (d 1.125 to 1.21 g per ml), of normal Macacus rhesus kept on a low fat diet were isolated by ultracentrifugal flotation and their properties compared with those previously reported on human products. Both monkey and human lipoproteins proved very similar, in terms of hydrodynamic, spectroscopic, immunological, and morphological criteria. However, the HDL₂:HDL₃ ratio in M. rhesus was 2:1, as compared to the 1:3 ratio in humans. Moreover, the sphingoymelin content of monkey HDL₂ and HDL₃ was significantly lower than that in man. Thus, the high density lipoproteins of M. rhesus are similar, but not identical, to those in man.
