The plasma clearance kinetics of the amyloid-related high density lipoprotein (HDL) apoprotein serum amyloid protein (apoSAA) was examined in BALB/c mice by two different methods, using labeled 125I-apoSAA-rich HDL and unlabeled plasma apoSAA (clearance monitored by radioimmunoassay). The plasma half-life of apoSAA, estimated by both methods, was on the order of 75-80 min, as compared with a value of approximately 11 h for mouse apoA-I. In trace-labeling studies, the rapid plasma clearance of both major 125I-labeled apoSAA isotypes was observed; this metabolic behavior was unique to these polypeptides among HDL apoproteins. The property of rapid plasma clearance was lost upon purification and reconstitution of 125I-apoSAA with HDL, indicating that this property is labile to denaturing conditions. Studies aimed at determining the metabolic fate of 125I-apoSAA gave no evidence for either the selective excretion of 125I-apoSAA or clearance to unique tissue sites as compared with other 125I-HDL apoproteins.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
