Abstract Mechanisms underlying changes in HDL composition caused by obesity are poorly
defined, partly because mice lack expression of cholesteryl ester transfer
protein (CETP), which shuttles triglyceride and cholesteryl ester between
lipoproteins. Because menopause is associated with weight gain, altered glucose
metabolism, and changes in HDL, we tested the effect of feeding a high-fat diet
(HFD) and ovariectomy (OVX) on glucose metabolism and HDL composition in CETP
transgenic mice. After OVX, female CETP-expressing mice had accelerated weight
gain with HFD-feeding and impaired glucose tolerance by hyperglycemic clamp
techniques, compared with OVX mice fed a low-fat diet (LFD). Sham-operated mice
(SHAM) did not show HFD-induced weight gain and had less glucose intolerance
than OVX mice. Using shotgun HDL proteomics, HFD-feeding in OVX mice had a large
effect on HDL composition, including increased levels of apoA2, apoA4, apoC2,
and apoC3, proteins involved in TG metabolism. These changes were associated
with decreased hepatic expression of SR-B1, ABCA1, and LDL receptor, proteins
involved in modulating the lipid content of HDL. In SHAM mice, there were
minimal changes in HDL composition with HFD feeding. These studies suggest that
the absence of ovarian hormones negatively influences the response to high-fat
feeding in terms of glucose tolerance and HDL composition. CETP-expressing mice
may represent a useful model to define how metabolic changes affect HDL
composition and function.
