LDL Size and Subclass Pattern in Mexico City Residents and San Antonio Mexican Americans

TL;DR: The data suggest that the higher triglyceride concentrations in Mexico City residents that are associated with a higher carbohydrate diet may not be associated with atherogenic changes in LDL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transitions from Ideal to Intermediate Cholesterol Levels may vary by Cholesterol Metric.

Journal Article

Effects of four-day fast on triglyceride mobilization in human adipocytes.

TL;DR: Subcutaneous abdominal fat tissue obtained after an overnight fast and then after four days of fasting indicates that abdominal adipocytes after a four-day fast are metabolically adapted towards increasedneutral glyceride mobilization by reducing glucose incorporation into neutral glycerides, increasing sensitivity of lipolysis to isoproterenol, and increasing basallipolysis.
