Abstract

Objective— Individuals with familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) have been reported to be prone to fatty liver disease (FLD). Conversely, the profound reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in this disorder might decrease cardiovascular risk. In the present study, we assessed hepatic steatosis as well as noninvasive surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in subjects with FHBL and in matched controls. Methods and Results— Hepatic steatosis was assessed by abdominal ultrasonography. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and distal common carotid arterial wall stiffness as surrogate markers for CVD risk were measured using high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography. Whereas transaminase levels were only modestly elevated, both prevalence (54% versus 29%; P =0.01) and severity of steatosis were significantly higher in FHBL individuals compared with controls. Despite similar IMT measurements, arterial stiffness was significantly lower in FHBL ( P =0.04) compared with controls. Additionally, the increase in arterial stiffness as seen in the presence of traditional risk factors was attenuated, suggesting that very low levels of apoB-containing lipoproteins can negate the adverse effects of other risk factors on the vasculature. Conclusions— FHBL is characterized by an increased prevalence and severity of fatty liver disease. The observed decreased level of arterial wall stiffness, most pronounced in the presence of nonlipid risk factors, is indicative of cardiovascular protection in these subjects.

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.
