Very low density lipoproteins in normal and cholesterol-fed rabbits: lipid and protein composition and metabolism: Part 2. Metabolism of very low density lipoproteins in rabbits
TL;DR: Significant changes are observed in the lipid composition of very low density lipoproteins from normal and hypercholesteremic rabbits, particularly in the fatty acid composition of cholesterol esters, and in the relative distribution of phospholipids.

Very low density lipoproteins in normal and cholesterol-fed rabbits: lipid and protein composition and metabolism
TL;DR: The lipid and apoprotein composition of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) have been studied in this paper and significant changes are observed in the apoprotein, as well as in the fatty acid composition of cholesterol esters, and in the relative distribution of phospholipids.

Metformin: An antiatherosclerotic agent modifying very low density lipoproteins in rabbits
TL;DR: These rabbits, while showing only a slight reduction of plasma cholesterol levels, as compared to cholesterol-fed (h.c.) animals, show a marked decrease of the aortic cholesterol esters and atheromatous process, in the presence of marked hypercholesteremia, exemplify a case of altered lipoprotein composition and decreased at heromatosis.

Turnover and aortic uptake of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) from hypercholesteremic rabbits as a model for testing antiatherosclerotic compounds.
TL;DR: This experimental model suggests that structural modifications of the HC VLDL make them poorly metabolizable, and possible more akin to the recently described arterial lipoprotein complexing factor (ALCF).

Turnover and aortic uptake of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) from hypercholesteremic rabbits: effect of metformin.
TL;DR: A prolonged log-normal phase, and an inefficient conversion to lipoproteins of the higher density, can be demonstrated also when labelled VLDL from HC rabbits are injected into normal recipients.
