The influence of cholestyramine (24 g/day) on receptor-mediated and receptor-independent low-density-lipoprotein catabolism was studied in 5 women with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Cholestyramine lowered the level of circulating low-density-lipoprotein apoprotein by doubling (P < 0.01) its fractional clearance via the receptor path, but fractional catabolism by the receptor-independent route remained unchanged. The absolute rate of catabolism of the apoprotein was not affected by treatment but the amounts handled by each pathway altered. Catabolism via the physiologically controllable receptor route increased by 71% (P < 0.05), but there was a 12% drop in clearance by the nonreceptor pathway. The data demonstrate the utility of cholestyramine in promoting low-density-lipoprotein catabolism via its specific physiologic clearance pathway. Heterozygotes with familial hypercholesterolemia can increase the activity of their low-density-lipoprotein receptors when presented with an appropriate stimulus.
