Key result
Men with metabolic syndrome had a significantly greater plasma triglyceride response 8 hours after an oral fat load compared to women (284±117 vs 224±126 mg/dl; P=0.029).
Why the study?
Are there gender differences in postprandial lipaemia after an oral fat tolerance test in patients with metabolic syndrome?
Population
62 patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), consisting of 41 men and 21 women
Comparison
Oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) vs Comparison between men and women
Design
Cross-sectional
Follow-up
8 hours

Are there gender differences in postprandial lipaemia after an oral fat tolerance test in patients with metabolic syndrome?
Absolute Event Rate: 284% vs 224%
p-value: p=0.029
Men with metabolic syndrome exhibit more pronounced postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia and delayed triglyceride clearance compared to women.
Kolovou et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Metabolic syndrome (n=62). Male gender vs. Female gender was evaluated on Plasma triglyceride response 8 hours after fat load (p=0.029). Men with metabolic syndrome had a significantly greater plasma triglyceride response 8 hours after an oral fat load compared to women (284±117 vs 224±126 mg/dl; P=0.029).
