Patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia exhibit significant hepatic steatosis characterized by increased liver triglyceride content and altered fatty acid composition, particularly increased oleic acid.
Endogenous hypertriglyceridemia links to marked hepatic steatosis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Analyses of liver lipids revealed that triglyceride was increased significantly but not other lipids in patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. Oleic acid was most increased among the fatty acids of liver triglyceride. The liver triglyceride content was varied from patient to patient. No significant correlation was found between the increase in liver triglyceride and the degree of hypertriglyceridemia.
