Triglyceride metabolism in the lung.

Diet and triglyceride metabolism.

Triglyceride and cholesterol metabolism in primary hypertriglyceridemia.

To determine mechanisms of elevated plasma triglycerides (TG) in patients with primary hypertriglyceridemias, simultaneous studies were carried out on kinetics of very low density lipoprotein-triglycerides (VLDL-TG) and synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids. Sixteen hypertriglyceridemic patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and 12 patients with poorly classified, primary hyper...

Sex steroid influence on triglyceride metabolism.

Triglyceride metabolism was investigated in groups of fed and fasted rats after 21 days of parenteral estradiol (5 mug daily), progesterone (5 mg daily), or the two steroids in combination. Results were compared with control groups receiving an oil solvent alone. In rats given estradiol separately or combined with progesterone, hypertriglyceridemia was uniformly associated with increased plasma...

Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnant levels and metabolism

mong the major components of the standard plasma lipid rofile, the total triglyceride (TG) level is generally considred the weakest risk factor for atherosclerosis, for which here are several likely contributing reasons. First, TG is eadily metabolized and is not a major constituent of therosclerotic plaque. Second, plasma TG varies greatly rom day to day in the fasting state and even more in t...

PCSK9 and triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism.

Pro-protein convertase subtilisin-kexin 9 (PCSK9) is known to affect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism, but there are indications from several lines of research that it may also influence the metabolism of other lipoproteins, especially triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL). This review summarizes the current data on this possible role of PCSK9. A link between PCSK9 and TRL has been sugge...
