The metabolism of chylomicrons and their remnants is a highly facilitated route to distribute
energy from the diet for storage in adipose tissue or immediate use in the muscles. It has …

High plasma concentrations of triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein are associated with an increased
risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). In the postprandial state, there is a large increase in …

In addition to low-density lipoproteins, plasma chylomicrons and very-low-density
lipoproteins (VLDL) contribute to atherogenesis. When triglyceride-rich particles bind to …

The size of cholesterol-rich lipoprotein particles is a strong determinant of whether they may
be deposited in the arterial wall and by this become potentially atherogenic. This study deals …

Interest in effects of diet on postprandial lipoproteins has increased in recent years as a
result of accumulating evidence for adverse cardiovascular consequences of elevated …

Chylomicrons are the 'orphans' of the lipoprotein family. Difficulty of measurement has
impeded understanding of their metabolism. Plasma concentrations of chylomicrons and …

Plaque cholesterol is thought to be derived exclusively from low‐density lipoproteins that
have become trapped and modified in the subendothelial space of arterial vessels …

Atherosclerosis is thought to begin with the trapping of cholesterol rich lipoproteins within
the intima of arterial vessels. Thereafter a complex inflammatory cascade involving …

Improved methods for quantification of organ-specific contributions to postprandial
hyperlipidemia indicate substantial increases in the concentration and altered properties of …
