Key result
Dietary fat restriction minimizes plasma triglycerides in patients with fat-induced lipemia.
Why the study?
Patients with lipemia have been categorized based on the effect of dietary fat on plasma triglyceride concentration, but distinctions between types require clarification.
The text discusses the categorization of lipemia based on the effect of dietary fat and carbohydrates on plasma triglyceride concentrations.
Distinguishes fat-induced lipemia for dietary guidance; leaves open validation in contemporary cohorts.
PATIENTS with lipemia have been divided into two general categories on the basis of the effect of dietary fat on their plasma triglyceride concentration.1 In one type lipemia is minimal when fat is excluded from the diet.1 2 3 In this disease, designated as "fat-induced lipemia," lipoprotein lipase is present in decreased concentration, and the disorder is thought to represent impaired clearing from the blood of chylomicrons formed during the absorption of dietary triglyceride.1 2 3 4 It is characteristically familial in its occurrence.In contrast to these patients, most subjects with hyperlipemia exhibit the highest level of plasma triglyceride concentration when dietary fat is . . .

Norton Spritz (1964) studied Lipemia. Dietary fat was evaluated on Plasma triglyceride concentration. Patients with lipemia can be categorized by their plasma triglyceride response to dietary fat, with fat-induced lipemia being minimal when fat is excluded from the diet.
