Apolipoprotein C-II Mimetic Peptide Promotes the Plasma Clearance of Triglyceride-Rich Lipid Emulsion and the Incorporation of Fatty Acids into Peripheral Tissues of Mice by Tomohiro Komatsu, Toshihiro Sakurai, Anna Wolska, Marcelo J. Amar, Akiko Sakurai, Boris L. Vaisman, Denis Sviridov, Stephen Demosky, Milton Pryor, Katsunori Ikewaki, Alan T. Remaley

“…We previously reported that a human apoC-II mimetic peptide (C-II-a) decreased plasma TG in apoC-II mutant mice, as well as in apoE-knockout mice. Because it is unknown what tissues take up free fatty acids (FFAs) released from TG after C-II-a peptide administration, we investigated in mice TG plasma clearance and tissue incorporation, using 3H-triolein as a tracer, with and without C-II-a treatment. …”
