El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar si la reducción de adiponectina (ADP) en el síndrome metabólico (SMet), influencia las características aterogénicas de VLDL. Se estudiaron 45 pacientes con SMet y 15 controles sanos. En ...

VLDL secretion is a regulated process that depends on the availability of lipids, apoB and MTP. Our aim was to investigate the effect of liver denervation upon the secretion of VLDL and the expression of proteins involved ...

It has been reported that LDL inhibits endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) and that HDL can neutralize this effect. However, the atherogenic properties of VLDL have been so far difficult to demonstrate. Studies on VLDL ...

Objective: To study size heterogeneity of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRL) in metabolic syndrome (MS). Design and methods: Thirty MS patients and 14 healthy subjects were included. In fasting serum we measured: lipid ...

Background: Hepatic steatosis (HS) is closely associated to metabolic syndrome (MS). Both, VLDL-triglyceride oversecretion and intrahepatic deposits, can take place. We evaluated VLDL characteristics, CETP, hepatic lipase ...

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a protein that exerts a central regulatory role in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) assembly and secretion. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of ...

Insulin-resistance (IR), of increased cardiovascular risk, is characterized by the production of altered VLDL with greater atherogenicity. Dietary fatty acids influence the type of circulating VLDL. But, it is not clear ...

Background: In insulin-resistance, VLDL presents alterations that increase its atherogenic potential. The mechanism by which insulin-resistance promotes the production of altered VLDL is still not completely understood. ...
