Abnormal Postprandial Apolipoprotein B-48 and Triglyceride Responses in Normolipidemic Women with Greater than 70% Stenotic Coronary Artery Disease: A Case-Control Study

According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Atherosclerosis, "Because remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLP) are potentially atherogenic, the postprandial lipoprotein metabolism was studied in 12 normocholesterolemic, normotriglyceridemic women, aged 60 ± 2 years, with angiographically proven coronary artery disease (CAD+; cholesterol 5.7 ± 0.1 (S.E,) mmol/l, triglyceride 1.35 ± 0.10 mmol/l) and in 12 individually matched controls, aged 59 ± 2 years, without angiographical abnormalities (CAD-; cholesterol 5.1 ± 0.2 mmol/l and triglyceride 1.16 ± 0.13 mmol/l). Following an oral retinyl palmitate-fat load, the CAD+ women...
