Plasma lipoproteins of free-ranging howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata).
Abstract
1. Plasma lipids and lipoproteins of free-ranging howling monkeys from Costa Rica
(Alouatta palliata), aged 5 months to 23 years, were characterized. 2. High density
lipoproteins were lipid-rich, similar to HDL2 of human plasma. 3. Fatty acid compositions
of major lipid classes of very low, low and high density lipoproteins differed among
social groups, possibly due to both dietary and genetic factors. 4. Low and high density
lipoprotein phospholipids were enriched in phosphatidylethanolamine. 5. Howler plasma
cross reacted with antihuman apoA-I antibodies but not with antihuman LDL antibodies.
6. No dimeric form of apoA-II was present, unlike human apoA-II.
