FIGURE 1.1 The apoB48 lipoprotein particle family consists of chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants (CR). Chylomicrons are secreted by intestinal cells following a meal and transport the dietary lipids to target…

FIGURE 3.1 3.1 HyperTG NormoapoB This can be due to (Figure 3.1): 1) Increased chylomicron particles   2) Increased chylomicron particles and increased VLDL particles   3) Increased chylomicron and…

FIGURE 2.1 The level of 1.2 g/l was adopted as the level separating those with definitely elevated levels of apoB (i.e. ≥ 1.2 g/l) from those without definitely elevated levels because at that time…
