Apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) pulse-chase data were analyzed by multicompartmental modeling using SAAM II. The percent of newly synthesized apoB-100 secreted and degraded was determined using the kinetic model. Values are mean ± SEM for lipoprotein-deficient serum (LPDS) (n = 4) and oleate (n = 5).

a

Means with different letters indicate statistical difference of at least P < 0.05.

b

Means with different letters indicate statistical difference of at least P < 0.05.

c

The Init parameter is calculated by the model and represents the amount of radioactive apoB-100 entering the system (initially compartment 3) required to achieve the tracer curve for total apoB (cell plus media) measured experimentally.

d

Calculated using the formula [k(0,3) + k(7,3) / k(4,3) + k(0,3) + k(7,3)] × 100.

e

Calculated using the formula [k(4,3) / k(4,3) + k(0,3) + k(7,3)] × 100.

f

k(4,3) is the rate constant for apoB-100 transfer from compartment 3 to compartment 4, or the rate constant for secretion. k(0,3) is the rate constant for apoB-100 degradation directly from compartment 3, or the rate constant for rapid degradation. k(7,3) is the rate constant for apoB-100 transfer from compartment 3 to compartment 7, or the rate constant for slow degradation.

g

The percent of apoB-100 degraded directly from compartment 3 is calculated using the formula [k(0,3) / k(4,3) + k(0,3) + k(7,3)] × 100.
