Now diabetes is growing to be a health problems globally. However, its specific pathogenesis still needs further exploration. Here we showed that miR-15b was upregulated in the palmitate-induced HepG2 cells and livers of hyperglycemic mice. At the same time, we confirmed that the insulin receptor was a direct target of miR-15b. Then we found that the manipulation of miR-15b expression level could affect the insulin signaling pathway of HepG2 cells and the inhibition of miR-15b in liver of ob/ob mice can improve insulin sensitivity of mice. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that palmitate could upregulate the expression of miR-15b by activating PPARα. Our findings established PPARα-responsive miR-15b as a critical regulator of hepatic insulin signaling, thus serving as a new potential therapeutic target for diabetes. 相似文献

The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) plays a major role in regulation of plasma cholesterol levels as a ligand for apolipoprotein B-100 and apolipoprotein E (apoE). Consequently, LDLR-deficient mice fed a Western-type diet develop significant hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. ApoE not only mediates uptake of atherogenic lipoproteins via the LDLR and other cell-surface receptors, but also directly inhibits atherosclerosis. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that coexpression of the LDLR and apoE would have greater effects than either one alone on plasma cholesterol levels and the development of atherosclerosis in LDLR-deficient mice. LDLR-deficient mice fed a Western-type diet for 10 weeks were injected with recombinant adenoviral vectors encoding the genes for human LDLR, human apoE3, both LDLR and apoE3, or lacZ (control). Plasma lipids were analyzed at several time points after vector injection. Six weeks after injection, mice were analyzed for extent of atherosclerosis by two independent methods. As expected, LDLR expression alone induced a significant reduction in plasma cholesterol due to reduced VLDL and LDL cholesterol levels, whereas overexpression of apoE alone did not reduce plasma cholesterol levels. When the LDLR and apoE were coexpressed in this model, the effects on plasma cholesterol levels were no greater than with expression of the LDLR alone. However, coexpression did result in a substantial increase in large apoE-rich HDL particles. In addition, although the combination of cholesterol reduction and apoE expression significantly reduced atherosclerosis, its effects were no greater than with expression of the LDLR or apoE alone. In summary, in this LDLR-deficient mouse model fed a Western-type diet, there was no evidence of an additive effect of expression of the LDLR and apoE on cholesterol reduction or atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The ability of the apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse to develop spontaneous atherosclerosis, which resembles the human process, is an excellent model in which to assess the impact of dietary factors. This review discusses the role of several nutrients in the development of atherosclerosis and the mechanisms through which they act. 相似文献

Objective: There is conflicting evidence about the propensity of trans fatty acids (TFAs) to cause obesity and insulin resistance. The effect of moderately high intake of dietary monounsaturated TFAs on body composition and indices of glucose metabolism was evaluated to determine any pro‐diabetic effect in the absence of weight gain. Research Methods and Procedures: Male African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops; n = 42) were assigned to diets containing either cis‐monounsaturated fatty acids or an equivalent diet containing the trans‐isomers (~8% of energy) for 6 years. Total calories were supplied to provide maintenance energy requirements and were intended to not promote weight gain. Longitudinal body weight and abdominal fat distribution by computed tomography scan analysis at 6 years of study are reported. Fasting plasma insulin, glucose, and fructosamine concentrations were measured. Postprandial insulin and glucose concentrations, and insulin‐stimulated serine/threonine protein kinase (Akt), insulin receptor activation, and tumor necrosis factor‐α concentrations in subcutaneous fat and muscle were measured in subsets of animals. Results: TFA‐fed monkeys gained significant weight with increased intra‐abdominal fat deposition. Impaired glucose disposal was implied by significant postprandial hyperinsulinemia, elevated fructosamine, and trends toward higher glucose concentrations. Significant reduction in muscle Akt phosphorylation from the TFA‐fed monkeys suggested a mechanism for these changes in carbohydrate metabolism. Discussion: Under controlled feeding conditions, long‐term TFA consumption was an independent factor in weight gain. TFAs enhanced intra‐abdominal deposition of fat, even in the absence of caloric excess, and were associated with insulin resistance, with evidence that there is impaired post‐insulin receptor binding signal transduction. 相似文献

Characterization of guinea pig plasma lipoproteins: the appearance of new lipoproteins in response to dietary cholesterol 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Dietary cholesterol induces a hemolytic anemia in guinea pigs, accompanied by changes in the lipid composition of red cells and of plasma lipoproteins. This report presents a characterization of the lipoprotein species present in each main density class in both control and cholesterol-fed guinea pigs. Traces of a typical high density lipoprotein (HDL) were detected in control plasma. HDL from cholesterol-fed, anemic guinea pigs differed from control HDL in electron microscopic appearance and lipid and peptide composition. Long stacks of discs were observed in the electron microscope in addition to smaller, spherical particles characteristic of control HDL. Low density lipoproteins (LDL) from cholesterol-fed, anemic guinea pigs had two main populations, which were separated by gel chromatography. One population appeared in the electron microscope as large transparent discs and contained mainly unesterified cholesterol and phospholipids in a 2:1 molar ratio. The other population resembled control LDL in size and composition except for its high unesterified cholesterol content. Dietary cholesterol also altered the composition and decreased the electrophoretic mobility of very low density lipoproteins. Gel electrophoretic and immunochemical evidence indicates that a peptide (mol wt 35,000) appears in lipoproteins from cholesterol-fed, anemic guinea pigs that is undetectable in those of controls. Similarities between the cholesterol-induced lipoprotein abnormalities in guinea pigs and those reported in patients with obstructive jaundice, biliary cirrhosis, type III hyperlipoproteinemia, or familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency are discussed. 相似文献

Effect of egg cholesterol and dietary fats on plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and apoproteins of normal women consuming natural diets 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Nine normal women, 22 to 37 years old, consumed controlled quantities of natural foods to test their responses to dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. All diets contained, as percentage of calories, 14% protein, 31% fat, and 55% carbohydrate. The main sources of polyunsaturated and saturated fats were corn oil and lard, respectively, and egg yolk was used for cholesterol supplementation. All subjects participated in four diet protocols of 15 days duration, and each diet period was separated by 3 weeks without diet control. The first diet (corn) was based on corn oil, had a polyunsaturated to saturated fat ratio (P/S) of 2.14, and contained 130 mg of cholesterol. The second diet (corn+) was identical to the first but contained a total of 875 mg of cholesterol. The third diet (lard) was based on lard, had a P/S ratio of 0.64, and contained 130 mg of cholesterol. The fourth diet (lard+) was identical to the third, but contained 875 mg of cholesterol per day. Changes of the plasma lipid, lipoprotein and apoprotein parameters relative to the corn diet were as follows: the corn+ diet significantly increased total plasma cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apoB levels; the lard diet significantly increased total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and apoB; and the lard+ diet significantly increased the total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apoA-I and apoB levels. There were no significant variations in VLDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, or apoE levels with these diets. The diets affected both the number of lipoprotein particles as well as the composition of LDL and HDL. Compared to the corn diet, cholesterol and saturated fat each increased the number of LDL particles by 17% and 9%, respectively, and the cholesterol per particle by 9%. The combination of saturated fat and cholesterol increased particle number by 18% and particle size by 24%. Switching from lard+ to lard, corn+, or corn diets reduced LDL-cholesterol of the group by 18%, 11%, and 28%, respectively, while a large inter-individual variability was noted. In summary, dietary fat and cholesterol affect lipid and lipoprotein levels as well as the particle number and chemical composition of both LDL and HDL. There is, however, considerable inter-individual heterogeneity in response to diet. 相似文献

According to epidemiological studies, type‐2 diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we induced hyperglycaemia in mice overexpressing mutant amyloid precursor protein and presenilin‐1 (APdE9) either by cross‐breeding them with pancreatic insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF‐2) overexpressing mice or by feeding them with high‐fat diet. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests revealed significant hyperglycaemia in mice overexpressing IGF‐2, which was exacerbated by high‐fat diet. However, sustained hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance were observed only in mice co‐expressing IGF‐2 and APdE9 without correlation to insulin levels in brain. In behavioural tests in aged mice, APdE9 was associated with poor spatial learning and the combination of IGF‐2 and high‐fat diet further impaired learning. Neither high‐fat diet nor IGF‐2 increased β‐amyloid burden in the brain. In male mice, IGF‐2 increased β‐amyloid 42/40 ratio, which correlated with poor spatial learning. In contrast, inhibitory phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β, which correlated with good spatial learning, was increased in APdE9 and IGF‐2 female mice on standard diet, but not on high‐fat diet. Interestingly, high‐fat diet altered τ isoform expression and increased phosphorylation of τ at Ser202 site in female mice regardless of genotype. These findings provide evidence for new regulatory mechanisms that link type‐2 diabetes and Alzheimer pathology. 相似文献

Mitochondrial gene expression and increased oxidative metabolism: role in increased lifespan of fat-specific insulin receptor knock-out mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Caloric restriction, leanness and decreased activity of insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor signaling are associated with increased longevity in a wide range of organisms from Caenorhabditis elegans to humans. Fat-specific insulin receptor knock-out (FIRKO) mice represent an interesting dichotomy, with leanness and increased lifespan, despite normal or increased food intake. To determine the mechanisms by which a lack of insulin signaling in adipose tissue might exert this effect, we performed physiological and gene expression studies in FIRKO and control mice as they aged. At the whole body level, FIRKO mice demonstrated an increase in basal metabolic rate and respiratory exchange ratio. Analysis of gene expression in white adipose tissue (WAT) of FIRKO mice from 6 to 36 months of age revealed persistently high expression of the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes involved in glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, β-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation as compared to expression of the same genes in WAT from controls that showed a tendency to decline in expression with age. These changes in gene expression were correlated with increased cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV at the protein level, increased citrate synthase activity, increased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) and PGC-1β, and an increase in mitochondrial DNA in WAT of FIRKO mice. Together, these data suggest that maintenance of mitochondrial activity and metabolic rates in adipose tissue may be important contributors to the increased lifespan of the FIRKO mouse. 相似文献

Objective: To use longitudinal profiling of plasma adipokines to distinguish diabetogenic vs. non‐diabetogenic obesity syndrome in two new mouse models of polygenic obesity. Research Methods and Procedures: Male mice of the NONcNZO5 strain develop a polygenic obesity syndrome uncomplicated by diabetes, whereas NONcNZO10 males develop a comparable polygenic obesity that precipitates type 2 diabetes. A multiplex immunoassay for simultaneous measurement of insulin and a panel of mouse adipokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin, interleukin‐6, tumor necrosis factor α, macrophage chemoattractant protein‐1, plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1) were used to profile longitudinal changes in these strains between 4 and 16 weeks of age that might distinguish the non‐diabetogenic vs. diabetogenic obesity (diabesity). Results: Both strains became adipose, with NONcNZO5 males attaining a higher mean body weight with a higher percentage fat content. Weight gain in NONcNZO5 was accompanied by a transient peak in plasma insulin (PI) at 8 weeks followed by a decline into normal range, with normoglycemia maintained throughout. In contrast, NONcNZO10 showed no early PI secretory response because both body weight and plasma glucose increased between 4 and 8 weeks. Only after 12 weeks, with hyperglycemia established, was a delayed PI secretory response observed. Neither plasma leptin nor adiponectin concentrations significantly differentiated the two syndromes over time. However, repeated measures ANOVA showed that NONcNZO10 males maintained significantly higher plasma concentrations of two adipokines, resistin and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1, and the pro‐inflammatory cytokine/adipokine macrophage chemoattractant protein‐1. Discussion: Longitudinal profiling of PI and adipokines in two new mouse models developing moderate obesity demonstrated that specific marker signatures differentiated a non‐diabetogenic obesity from a diabetogenic obesity. 相似文献

Despite established anti-atherogenic action, previous reports have shown that fish oils or n-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) increase plasma LDL-C in animals and humans. However, which component of n-3 PUFAs and what mechanisms contribute to this increase are unclear. We investigated the effects of the major components of n-3 PUFA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on plasma LDL-C in high fat diet-fed hamsters. While LDL-C increased significantly with n-3 PUFA oil and DHA, EPA had no effect on LDL-C. Interestingly, a positive correlation was found between plasma cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) activity and LDL-C. Only DHA increased plasma CETP activity and significantly decreased LDL receptor expression in the liver. Our data suggest that DHA, not EPA, is a major factor in the LDL-C increasing effect of n-3 PUFA oil. These differential effects on LDL-C may arise from differences in plasma CETP activity and LDL receptor expression. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency would accelerate atherosclerosis development in low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLr-/-) and apoE (apoE-/-) knockout mice. After 16 weeks of atherogenic diet (0.1% cholesterol, 10% calories from palm oil) consumption, LDLr-/- LCAT-/- double knockout mice, compared with LDLr-/- mice, had similar plasma concentrations of free (FC), esterified (EC), and apoB lipoprotein cholesterol, increased plasma concentrations of phospholipid and triglyceride, decreased HDL cholesterol, and 2-fold more aortic FC (142 +/- 28 versus 61 +/- 20 mg/g protein) and EC (102 +/- 27 versus 61+/- 27 mg/g). ApoE-/- LCAT-/- mice fed the atherogenic diet, compared with apoE-/- mice, had higher concentrations of plasma FC, EC, apoB lipoprotein cholesterol, and phospholipid, and significantly more aortic FC (149 +/- 62 versus 109 +/- 33 mg/g) and EC (101 +/- 23 versus 69 +/- 20 mg/g) than did the apoE-/- mice. LCAT deficiency resulted in a 12-fold increase in the ratio of saturated + monounsaturated to polyunsaturated cholesteryl esters in apoB lipoproteins in LDLr-/- mice and a 3-fold increase in the apoE-/- mice compared with their counterparts with active LCAT. We conclude that LCAT deficiency in LDLr-/- and apoE-/- mice fed an atherogenic diet resulted in increased aortic cholesterol deposition, likely due to a reduction in plasma HDL, an increased saturation of cholesteryl esters in apoB lipoproteins and, in the apoE-/- background, an increased plasma concentration of apoB lipoproteins. 相似文献

Influence of short term dietary cholesterol and fat on human plasma Lp[a] and LDL levels. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The relationship between plasma levels of Lp[a] and LDL was examined using dietary regimens. In 81 normolipidemic male outpatients, dietary cholesterol was increased by consuming six eggs per day from a mean (SD) level of 311 (162) to 1430 (198) mg per day. Mean (SD) LDL-cholesterol levels increased from 102 (26) mg/dl to 120 (33) mg/dl (P less than 0.001), while mean (SD) Lp[a] levels were 5.5 (6.1) mg/dl on the basal diet and 5.6 (6.4) mg/dl on the cholesterol-rich diet. No significant correlation was observed between increases in either LDL-cholesterol or apolipoprotein B to Lp[a], nor was there any relationship between individual baseline levels of Lp[a] and dietary-induced changes of Lp[a]. Fourteen of the 81 participants were reexamined under strict nutritional control. Four diets with 40% of calories as fat, but differing in the type of fat and the amount of cholesterol, were administered sequentially to all subjects. As expected, mean (SD) LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels were highest on the saturated fat, high cholesterol diet (112 (32) mg/dl and 79 (22) mg/dl) and lowest on the polyunsaturated fat, low cholesterol diet (77 (27) mg/dl and 53 (18) mg/dl). In contrast, mean Lp[a] levels did not significantly change among the four diets (range 4.2-4.9 mg/dl). No correlation of Lp[a] responses with changes in plasma lipids, apolipoproteins, or lipoproteins was observed on any diet. These data suggest that determinants of plasma Lp[a] levels are distinctly different from the determinants of plasma LDL levels in normolipidemic males. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate the involvement of hypoadiponectinemia and inflammation in coupling obesity to insulin resistance in melanocortin‐3 receptor and melanocortin‐4 receptor knockout (KO) mice (Mc3/4rKO). Research Methods and Procedures: Sera and tissue were collected from 6‐month‐old Mc3rKO, Mc4rKO, and wild‐type C57BL6J litter mates maintained on low‐fat diet or exposed to high‐fat diet (HFD) for 1 or 3 months. Inflammation was assessed by both real‐time polymerase chain reaction analysis of macrophage‐specific gene expression and immunohistochemistry. Results: Mc4rKO exhibited hypoadiponectinemia, exacerbated by HFD and obesity, previously reported in murine models of obesity. Mc4r deficiency was also associated with high levels of macrophage infiltration of adipose tissue, again exacerbated by HFD. In contrast, Mc3rKO exhibited normal serum adiponectin levels, irrespective of diet or obesity, and a delayed inflammatory response to HFD relative to Mc4rKO. Discussion: Our findings suggest that severe insulin resistance of Mc4rKO fed a HFD, as reported in other models of obesity such as leptin‐deficient (Lepob/Lepob) and KK‐Ay mice, is linked to reduced serum adiponectin and high levels of inflammation in adipose tissue. Conversely, maintenance of normal serum adiponectin may be a factor in the relatively mild insulin‐resistant phenotype of severely obese Mc3rKO. Mc3rKO are, thus, a unique mouse model where obesity is not associated with reduced serum adiponectin levels. A delay in macrophage infiltration of adipose tissue of Mc3rKO during exposure to HFD may also be a factor contributing to the mild insulin resistance in this model. 相似文献

We examined the effects of three high-fat diets (HFD), differing in the percentage of total calories from saturated fat (SF) (6%, 12%, and 24%) but identical in total fat (40%), on body composition, macrophage behavior, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction in mice. Diets were administered for 16 weeks. Body composition and metabolism [glucose, insulin, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC)] were examined monthly. Adipose tissue (AT) expression of marker genes for M1 and M2 macrophages and inflammatory mediators [Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2, TLR-4, MCP-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)1, IFN-γ] was measured along with activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38- mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). AT macrophage infiltration was examined using immunohistochemistry. Circulating MCP-1, IL-6, adiponectin, and leptin were also measured. SF content, independent of total fat, can profoundly affect adiposity, macrophage behavior, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. In general, the 12%-SF diet, most closely mimicking the standard American diet, led to the greatest adiposity, macrophage infiltration, and insulin resistance (IR), whereas the 6%-SF and 24%-SF diets produced lower levels of these variables, with the 24%-SF diet resulting in the least degree of IR and the highest TC/HDL-C ratio. Macrophage behavior, inflammation, and IR following HFD are heavily influenced by dietary SF content; however, these responses are not necessarily proportional to the SF percentage. 相似文献

[Purpose]
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 12-week walking exercise on abdominal fat, insulin resistance and serum cytokines in obese women.[Methods]
Following baseline measurements, obese women (N = 20) who met obesity criterion of BMI at 25 kg/m2 or greater were randomly assigned to the control (n = 10) or exercise groups (n = 10). Women assigned to the exercise group participated in a walking exercise (with an intensity of 50-60% of predetermined VO2max, a frequency of 3 days per week and duration of 50-70 minutes targeting 400 kcal of energy expenditure per session) for 12 weeks, while women assigned to the control group maintained their sedentary lifestyle. After the 12-week walking intervention, post-test measurements were conducted using the same procedure as the baseline measurement. Analyses of variance with repeated measures were used to evaluate any significant time by group interactions for the measured variables.[Results]
With respect to body fat parameters, significant time-by-group interactions were found in the abdominal subcutaneous (p = < 0.001) and visceral adipose tissues (p = 0.011). The exercise group had significant reductions in both subcutaneous and visceral adiposity, and the control group had no significant changes in those parameters. Similarly, there were significant time by group interactions in fasting glucose (p = 0.008), HOMA-IR (p = 0.029), serum TNF-α (p = 0.027), and IL-6 (p = 0.048) such that the exercise group had significant reductions in those parameters, with no such significant changes found in the control group. The exercise group also had a significant increase in serum adiponectin (p = 0.002), whereas the control group had no significant change in the parameter.[Conclusion]
In summary, the current findings suggest that walking exercise can provide a safe and effective lifestyle strategy against abdominal obesity and serum insulin resistance markers in obese women. 相似文献18.

Isocaloric substitution of polyunsaturated fat for saturated fat reduces concentrations of total plasma cholesterol and high density lipoproteins (HDL) in nonhuman primates. The biochemical mechanisms through which polyunsaturated fat lowers plasma HDL concentrations are not well understood but must involve changes in HDL production or HDL clearance from plasma, or both. To determine whether dietary polyunsaturated fat (P/S = 2.2) alters apolipoprotein (apo) A-I production, African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) were fed diets containing polyunsaturated fat or saturated fat (P/S = 0.3) each in combination with high (0.8 mg/kcal) and low (0.03 mg/kcal) amounts of dietary cholesterol. Animals fed polyunsaturated fat at either cholesterol level had lower plasma concentrations of total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. Plasma apoA-I concentration was reduced by 16% by polyunsaturated fat in the high cholesterol group. The rate of hepatic apoA-I secretion, as estimated by the accumulation of perfusate apoA-I during recirculating liver perfusion, was reduced by 19% in animals consuming the high cholesterol, polyunsaturated fat diet. Hepatic apoA-I mRNA concentrations, as measured by DNA-excess solution hybridization, also were reduced by 22% in the high cholesterol, polyunsaturated fat-fed animals. In contrast, intestinal apoA-I mRNA concentrations were not altered by the type of dietary fat. Plasma apoA-II and hepatic apoA-II mRNA concentrations also were not altered by the type of dietary fat. These data indicate that dietary polyunsaturated fat can selectively alter the expression of the apoA-I gene in a tissue-specific manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Remnant lipoproteins are related to intima-media thickness of the carotid artery independently of LDL cholesterol and plasma triglycerides 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) have been implicated in the early development of atherosclerosis. We tested this hypothesis by quantifying the plasma concentration of remnant-like particle cholesterol (RLP-C) in a cohort of healthy 50-year-old men in whom the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) was assessed by B-mode ultrasound as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. The subjects were given a fat-rich meal to study the generation of RLP-C during postprandial lipemia. Fasting plasma RLP-C and other major fasting plasma lipids and lipoproteins were determined twice, and the mean RLP-C concentration was strongly correlated with CCA-IMT (r = 0.32, P = 0.002). In addition, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (r = 0.25, P = 0.01) and plasma triglycerides (r = 0.20, P = 0.05) were significantly related to CCA-IMT. Multivariate analyses showed a triglyceride-independent contribution of RLP-C to CCA-IMT. After fat intake, the median plasma RLP-C concentration was doubled after 3 h. The increase was strongly related to the postprandial generation of TRL apolipoprotein (apo)B-48, and large (S(f) 60;-400) TRL apoB-100. The association with CCA-IMT was somewhat stronger for the 3-h RLP-C level than for the fasting RLP-C concentration [r = 0.27, P < 0.01 (3 h) compared with r = 0.22, P < 0.05 (0 h)].We conclude that the plasma concentration of RLP-C is related to CCA-IMT, independent of plasma triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, in a healthy middle-aged male population. - Karpe, F., S.
