Abstract

High apoCIII concentration in apoB lipoproteins is a prominent component of atherogenic dyslipidemia, and explains the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) associated with high triglyceride (TG). We hypothesized that diabetic people have atherogenic dyslipidemia with apoCIII in excess of that accounted for by their high TG levels. We selected 30 diabetic and 30 nondiabetic persons, 15 of each with fasting TG<160 mg/dl and 15 with TG>/=200 mg/dl. Using immunoaffinity chromatography and ultracentrifugation, we prepared large and small VLDL, IDL and LDL with or without apoCIII or apoE. The groups with TG>/=200 mg/dl, regardless of diabetes status, had higher concentrations of large and small VLDL particles with apoCIII and higher apoCIII concentrations than the groups with fasting TG<160 mg/dl. The diabetes groups did not have higher concentrations of these lipoproteins than the nondiabetes groups within the same fasting TG criteria. In conclusion, high concentrations of apoCIII-containing VLDL are associated with hypertriglyceridemia, which may play a critical role in identifying the high risk of CHD in hypertriglyceridemic patients whether diabetic or nondiabetic. Diabetes status per se does not appear to be associated with high concentrations of apoCIII-containing TG-rich lipoprotein particles, if the plasma TG levels are similar.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Although insulin resistance is associated with high triglycerides, VLDL and triglyceride concentrations can be similar in patients with widely divergent insulin sensitivity.

    “Although insulin resistance is associated with high triglycerides, VLDL and triglyceride concentrations can be similar in patients with widely divergent insulin sensitivity (68, 69).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
