Why the study?
Does cigarette smoking alter postprandial HDL cholesterol, apolipoproteins, and lipid transfer protein activities in normolipidemic men?
Does cigarette smoking alter postprandial HDL cholesterol, apolipoproteins, and lipid transfer protein activities in normolipidemic men?
Normolipidemic smokers exhibit altered postprandial HDL composition and lipid transfer protein activities, suggesting impaired reverse cholesterol transport that may promote atherogenesis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Smoking-linked postprandial HDL changes may impair reverse cholesterol transport; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Mero et al. (1998) studied this question.
