Glucose Intolerance and Hyperinsulinemia in Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia

Hyperinsulinemia and Glucose Intolerance

Plasma lipoproteins in familial combined hyperlipidemia and monogenic familial hypertriglyceridemia.

Plasma lipoprotein concentration, composition, and size were evaluated in two common familial forms of hypertriglyceridemia and compared with those in normal subjects. The very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) were triglyceride-enriched in familial hypertriglyceridemia (triglyceride/apoprotein B ratio: 25.7 +/- 8.9) as compared to normal (9.6 +/- 12.2, P < 0.001) or familial combined hyperlipide...

Hyperlipidemia and glucose intolerance in the post-renal transplant patient.

This review examines the relationship between renal transplantation and two important metabolic consequences: hyperlipidemia and glucose intolerance. Before cyclosporine, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia were common abnormalities that worsened in the cyclosporine era. In addition to obesity, steroid use, and reduced renal function, cyclosporine plays an independent role in elevatin...

Pulse wave velocity in familial combined hyperlipidemia.

BACKGROUND In the present cross-sectional study we investigated whether familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is associated with an increased arterial wall stiffness, and whether measures of arterial wall stiffness in FCH family members could contribute to cardiovascular risk stratification. METHODS Ninety-eight subjects with FCH and 230 unaffected relatives filled out a questionnaire about ...

Frequent detection of familial hypercholesterolemia mutations in familial combined hyperlipidemia.

amilial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is the most comon genetic cause of hyperlipidemia, affecting approxiately 1% of the population. It was first described in the eattle Myocardial Infarction Study in 1973 (1). This ondition is characterized by variable lipid phenotypes increased levels of triglycerides or cholesterol or both lipids) n the proband and in relatives that may vary within an ndivi...
