TL;DR: The data indicate that diabetes may be associated with shifts in distribution of LDL and HDL, as well as with increases in VLDL.

TL;DR: The previously described inverse relationship between apo[a] size and Lp[ a] concentration was generally confirmed in Caucasians, but the B phenotype had lower Lp,[a] levels than the S1 or S2 phenotype, and in African Americans, both the B and S1 phenotypes had lower S2 phenotypes.

TL;DR: 2-hour FFA levels were significantly higher in men than women and in persons with impaired glucose tolerance and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus versus normal glucose tolerance, and elevated plasma apoB and triglyceride concentrations associated with male gender and with glucose intolerance are partly accounted for by differences in the ability of insulin to suppress FFA concentrations.

TL;DR: Computerized ECG measures of repolarization abnormality and complexity predict CV and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes, supporting their use to identify high-risk individuals with diabetes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the prevalence of gallbladder disease and associated risk factors among specified American Indian populations using ultrasonography and standardized diagnostic criteria, and found that GBD prevalence was found in epidemic proportions in diverse American Indians populations.
