Aging and plasma triglyceride metabolism

Diet and triglyceride metabolism.

Plasma Triglyceride Concentration

Ischemic heart disease is caused by a combination of and interaction between a number of genetic and environmental factors. In a study of a group of healthy men from the United Kingdom, such an interaction was identified between the levels of plasma triglycerides and genetic variation determining plasma levels of factor VII, a clotting factor that is associated with risk of ischemic heart disea...

Plasma Triglyceride Concentrations

Reduced plasma levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease. Although plasma HDL levels are, in general, inversely related to plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations, a small proportion of individuals with low HDL cholesterol concentrations have normal plasma TG levels. We wished to determine whether subjects with low plasma ...

Effects of alcohol on plasma lipoproteins and cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism in man.

To define the effects of moderate alcohol intake on cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism in man, twelve patients were hospitalized on a metabolic ward and were fed defined diets for 10 weeks. Each patient underwent testing of plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels, of cholesterol metabolism (absorption, fecal excretion, bile saturation), and of triglyceride metabolism [turnover of triglycerides...

Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnant levels and metabolism

mong the major components of the standard plasma lipid rofile, the total triglyceride (TG) level is generally considred the weakest risk factor for atherosclerosis, for which here are several likely contributing reasons. First, TG is eadily metabolized and is not a major constituent of therosclerotic plaque. Second, plasma TG varies greatly rom day to day in the fasting state and even more in t...
