Associates low HDL with delayed postprandial TG clearance in men; leaves open causality and clinical utility of fasting TG screening.
Does low HDL cholesterol affect postprandial triglyceride clearance in men?
Delayed postprandial triglyceride clearance is associated with low HDL cholesterol, and fasting TG > 121 mg/dl strongly predicts an abnormal response to a fatty meal.
Kolovou et al. (2004) studied this question.
