Triglycerides and risk for coronary artery disease.

29 Sep 2008 Triglycerides (TGs) are now considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). When TGs are elevated, lipoprotein metabolism is altered, which increases CVD risk. Patients with elevated TGs and low high-density lipoprotein are ... Read more...

Reproducibility of postprandial lipemia tests and validity of an abbreviated 4-hour test.

29 Sep 2008 Postprandial lipemia test (PPLT) results are predictive of cardiovascular disease risk. However, their reproducibility must be established before they can be clinically useful. Therefore, we investigated PPLT reproducibility by testing 9 men and ... Read more...

Manipulation of lipid bioaccessibility of almond seeds influences postprandial lipemia in healthy human subjects.

29 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Plant cell walls are known to influence the rate and extent of lipid release from plant food tissues during digestion; however, the effect of cell wall structure on postprandial lipemia is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to ... Read more...
