Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertriglyceridemia associated with deficiency of apolipoprotein C-II.
TL;DR: A 59-year-old man with severe hypertriglyceridemia and no post-heparin lipolytic activity was studied and it is concluded that this patient's hyperlipoproteinemia resulted from a deficiency of apolipoprotein C-II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between free fatty acids and insulin in the acute control of very low density lipoprotein production in humans.
TL;DR: It is shown that in normal individuals the acute inhibition of VLDL production by insulin in vivo is only partly due to the suppression of plasma FFA, and may also be due to an FFA-independent process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postprandial lipoproteins and progression of coronary atherosclerosis
Fredrik Karpe,George Steiner,George Steiner,Kristine D. Uffelman,Thomas Olivecrona,Anders Hamsten +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that small chylomicron remnants are implicated in the progression of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for coronary heart disease in women with systemic lupus erythematosus: The Toronto Risk Factor Study
TL;DR: Women with SLE have a range of detectable coronary risk factors that are not fully reflected in the Framingham risk factor formula and are likely to contribute to the loss of protection from CHD that has been observed in SLE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Acute Hyperinsulinemia on VLDL Triglyceride and VLDL ApoB Production in Normal Weight and Obese Individuals
TL;DR: Acute hyperinsulinemia in humans suppresses plasma FFA equally in control and obese subjects at this high dose of insulin and decreases plasma triglyceride and VLDL particle size in control subjects, reflecting either stimulation of LPL activity or a greater relative decrease in triglyceride to apoB production.
