Small, dense low density lipoproteins, the insulin resistance syndrome and noninsulin-dependent diabetes

Austin, Melissa A., Edwards, Karen L.·1996·Current Opinion in Lipidology

Abstract

The role of small, dense LDL as a risk factor for coronary heart disease is becoming well established. Several atherogenic mechanisms have been proposed to explain this relationship, including the association of small, dense LDL with the insulin resistance syndrome. A variety of studies, including large epidemiologic investigations, have now demonstrated that a predominance of small, dense LDL is one of the constellation of interrelated risk factors that characterize the insulin resistance syndrome. Recent results using a multivariate factor analysis approach have also shown that this set of risk factors can be simplified into three or four uncorrelated components that may provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying the syndrome and its association with disease. Furthermore, a number of cross-sectional studies and one prospective study have shown that small, dense LDL is a risk factor for noninsulin-dependent diabetes itself, and that this association may also be attributable to the insulin resistance syndrome.

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.
