Clinical and Population Studies Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia Is Associated With Alterations in the Cholesterol Synthesis Pathway
Objectives—Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is a common familial lipid disorder characterized by increases in plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, and apolipoprotein B-100 levels. In light of prior metabolic and genetic research, our purpose was to ascertain whether FCH cases had significant abnormalities of plasma markers of cholesterol synthesis and absorption as compared to unaffect...

متن کاملNO activity in familial combined hyperlipidemia: potential role of cholesterol remnants.
OBJECTIVE Patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) have an increased cardiovascular mortality despite only moderate elevations of LDL-cholesterol. Since endothelial NO release is intimately involved in the anti-atherosclerotic effects of the endothelium, we studied the effect of short-term lipid-lowering therapy on NO-mediated vasodilatation in patients with FCH. In view of only mod...
متن کاملThe effect of portacaval shunt on hepatic lipoprotein metabolism in familial hypercholesterolemia.
The hyperlipidemia observed in familial hypercholesterolemia can be reduced by portacaval anastomosis. We report the effects of a portacaval shunt on hepatic morphology and biosynthetic pathways crucial to hepatic cholesterol homeostasis in homozygous receptor-negative familial hypercholesterolemia. Portacaval anastomosis was associated with a dramatic change in hepatocyte morphology, 28% reduc...
متن کاملPlasma 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...
