Apolipoprotein B-100 kinetics in visceral obesity: associations with plasma apolipoprotein C-III concentration

DC Chan, GF Watts, TG Redgrave… - Metabolism …, 2002 - metabolismjournal.com
Obesity is strongly associated with dyslipidemia, which may account for the associated
increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary disease. We aimed to test the hypothesis that
kinetics of hepatic apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB) metabolism are disturbed in men with
visceral obesity and to examine whether these kinetic defects are associated with elevated
plasma concentration of apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III). Very [ndash] low-density lipoprotein
(VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apoB …
