Changes in the composition of plasma very low density lipoprotein during pregnancy and lactation in genetic lines of pigs

Abstract: Plasma very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) of gilts were separated into two sub fractions according to their affinity for heparin. The proportion of VLDL present as subfraction 2 (higher affinity for heparin) varied, according to the genetic line of the pigs, between 0-21 and 0-78 in virgin gilts. The proportions were related to the variation in piglet survival in the same nine genetic lines by a quadratic equation, which predicted that greater than 90% survival to weaning was to be found in piglets born to g… Show more

“…This also implies that PKC has no effect on the VLDL production (quantity basis). In this study, the concentrations of TG and CE have been employed to indicate the volume of the VLDL, whereas both PL and FC were used to reflect the surface area of the VLDL (Wright et al, 1995). The calculation of concentration ratios of the surface lipids (PL+FC) and core lipids (TG+CE) of the VLDL showed that the ratios were significantly different between the control and PKC fed rats.…”

“…This may be a mechanism both to protect the fetus from potentially injurious changes in dietary fatty acids and to facilitate the increased delivery of long-chain PUFA to the fetus (Dutta-Roy et al 1996). In the pig, a marked increase in the level of VLDL in the plasma during the last 8 weeks of pregnancy has been shown to occur (Wright et al 1995). An increase in the proportion of docosahexaenoic acid in liver phospholipid has been shown to coincide with the fetal brain growth 'spurt' in the guinea-pig (Burdge & Postle, 1994) which would suggest that fatty acids destined for the brain are accumulated and released from the liver.…”
