Postprandial VLDL compositional shifts may promote atherogenesis in hypertriglyceridemia; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical implications.
Does a fat-rich mixed meal alter VLDL composition in healthy men?
Postprandial lipemia induces transient compositional alterations in VLDL that may link these lipoproteins to the formation of atherosclerosis.
Björkegren et al. (1997) studied this question.
