The purpose of this article is to review the basic and clinical science relating plasma triglycerides and cardiovascular disease. Although many aspects of the basic physiology of triglyceride production, its plasma transport, and its tissue uptake have been known for several decades, the relationship of plasma triglyceride levels to vascular disease is uncertain. Are triglyceride-rich lipoprote...

Overview: Lipoproteins are spherical particles that carry lipids, particularly cholesterol and triglyceride, in the plasma. There is a well-established association between dyslipidemias, or disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, and coronary heart disease (CHD): elevated levels of blood cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein...

The transfer of triglyceride from sites of synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum to cytoplasmic lipid droplets and nascent VLDL (very low density lipoproteins) in rat liver in vivo has been examined with [SH]glycerol, cell fractionation, and electron microscopy. Rates of mass transfer of newly synthesized triglyceride were estimated from the specific radioactivity of triglyceride present in mi...

We investigated the effect of the -278A>C polymorphism in the CYP7A1 gene on the response of plasma lipids to a reduced-fat diet for 6 to 8 weeks in a group of 82 dyslipidemic males with a mean age of 46.0 +/- 11.7 years. Individuals who presented at least one high alteration in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglyceride values were considered to be dyslipidemic. Exc...

To evaluate the concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins and their correlations together and withthyroid hormones in gray necked ostrich (Struthio camelus), the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride,total lipids, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL-cholesterol), low density lipoproteins (LDL-cholesterol)and high density lipoproteins (HDL-cholesterol) and their correlations with tri-i...
