The relationships of lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride among lipoprotein fractions have potential significance for understanding atherogenesis and distinguishing among different classes of hyperlipidemia. We have compared these relationships in normolipidemic, hypercholesterolemic, hypertriglyceridemic, and combined hyperlipidemic participants in the Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Comp...

We used the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)--a polymerase-chain-reaction-based method--to determine the 3206 T-to-G polymorphism on exon 4 of the apolipoprotein (apo) C III gene. Apo C III is an inhibitor of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34). Previous studies have demonstrated that a polymorphism at nucleotide 3175 on exon 4 of this gene is associated with hypertriglyc...

background:  we determined the blood lipid-lowering effects ofeicosapentaenoic acid (epa) on hypertriglyceridemic subjects with leu162/val in exon 5 and g/c in intron7 polymorphism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (pparα)genotypes that, to our knowledge, have not been previously studied. methods:  a total of170 hypertriglyceridemic subjects were enrolled and genotyped for ala...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) induced recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) is a rare entity. Its occurrence with normal pancreatic enzyme levels has not been commonly reported. Herein, we report case of RAP secondary to hypertriglyceridemia blood lipase level. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year old male history presented 72-hou...

Background & aim:  Elevated triglyceride levels in women with hereditary forms of hypertriglyceridemia may involve the risk of pancreatic attacks during pregnancy. Case report:In this study, we present the clinical course of a 42-year-old pregnant woman with two vaginal deliveries and one cesarean section (gravidity: 4, parity: 3, live: 2, death: 1) admitted to our hospital. Gestational age was...
