High-carbohydrate diets may reclassify Type III as Type IV hyperlipoproteinaemia; leaves open need for dietary standardization in accurate phenotyping.
Does an isocaloric fat-free, carbohydrate-rich diet alter the lipoprotein pattern in patients with Type III hyperlipoproteinaemia?
A fat-free, carbohydrate-rich diet converts the lipoprotein profile of Type III hyperlipoproteinaemia into a Type IV pattern, indicating the metabolic defect's expression is diet-dependent.
