Health | The VLDL and chylomicron particles of these patients are large and appear to lack atherogenic potential. (references) | |
Individual triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, chylomicron remnants, intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), or particles of differing size and composition may be more closely related to CHD. Postprandial triglyceride may be more important than the fasting triglyceride levels, but little is known about this at the present time. In vitro studies find IDL, VLDL remnants, and other triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to increase foam cell production. (references) | ||
