N2 - The distribution of apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV among lymph lipoprotein fractions was studied after separation by molecular sieve chromatography, avoiding any ultracentrifugation. Lymph was obtained from rats infused either with a glucose solution or with a triacylglycerol emulsion. Relative to glucose infusion, triacylglycerol infusion caused a 20-fold increase in the output of triacylglycerol, coupled with a 4-fold increase in output of apolipoprotein A-IV. The output of apolipoprotein A-I was only elevated 2-fold. Chromatography on 6% agarose showed that lymph apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV are present on triacylglycerol-rich particles and on particles of the size of HDL. In addition, apolipoprotein A-IV is also present as 'free' apolipoprotein A-IV. The increase in apolipoprotein A-I output is caused by a higher output of A-I associated with large chylomicrons only, while the increase in apolipoprotein A-IV output is reflected by an increased output in all lymph lipoprotein fractions, including lymph HDL and 'free' apolipoprotein A-IV. The increased level of 'free' A-IV, seen in fatty lymph, may contribute to, and at least partly explain, the high concentrations of 'free' apolipoprotein A-IV present in serum obtained from fed animals
