Key result
High liver fat content positively correlated with postprandial responses of triglycerides in the VLDL1 fraction (r = 0.597; P = 0.001).
Why the study?
Does liver fat content predict postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein responses in men?

May link liver fat to postprandial VLDL1-triglyceride responses; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.

Does liver fat content predict postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein responses in men?
Effect estimate: r = 0.597
p-value: p=0.001
High liver fat content is a strong independent predictor of postprandial lipemia, representing a potential mechanism for increased cardiovascular risk.
Matikainen et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Postprandial lipemia (n=29). High liver fat (>5%) vs. Low liver fat (≤5%) was evaluated on Postprandial responses (area under the curve) of triglycerides in the VLDL1 fraction (r = 0.597, p=0.001). High liver fat content positively correlated with postprandial responses of triglycerides in the VLDL1 fraction (r = 0.597; P = 0.001).
