Android fat distribution was associated with exaggerated postprandial lipemia in obese women; leaves open causal role in TRL metabolism and needs prospective confirmation.
Does body fat distribution (android vs gynoid) influence postprandial lipemia and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in obese adult women?
Abdominal (android) obesity is associated with abnormal postprandial lipid patterns and elevated triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, even in the absence of fasting hypertriglyceridemia.
