We compared the 16-hour-standing plasma test to lipoprotein electrophoresis on agarose gel for detection of chylomicrons in 129 patients' samples with triglyceride values greater than or equal to 4.00 g/L. Chylomicrons were observed in 12 samples (9.3%) by use of the standing-plasma test and in 58 samples (45.0%) by use of agarose-gel electrophoresis. Thus the standing-plasma test did not detec...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Very severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), defined by the Endocrine Society as serum triglyceride (TG) concentration ≥2000 mg/dL, is a rare condition that associated with genetic causes including familial chylomicronemia syndrome or type 1 hyperlipoproteinemia, and secondary conditions uncontrolled diabetes excessive al...

Radioactive phosphorus (P32) was injected into normal and cholesterol-fed rabbits. A marked derangement of aortic phospholipid metabolism was found in the cholesterol-fed animals. The phospholipid found in the atheromatous aortas appeared to have been synthesized by the aorta itself rather than to have been deposited there from the plasma. T HE etiology of atheromatosis has been explored from d...

Abstract Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary dislipidemia. Patients present with extremely high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which is due to mutation in the gene of LDL receptor. Homozygous patients (HoFH) whose incidence is 1 in 1.000.000 are at high risk of premature aortic valve stenosis, and coronary artery atherosclerosis. In homozygous individual...
