Relationship between apolipoprotein E and low density lipoprotein particle size

S P Zhao¹, M H Verhoeven, J Vink

¹Department of Cardiology, University Hospital, Leiden, The Netherlands.

Atherosclerosis

|September 1, 1993

Summary

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size in healthy men is linked to lipid levels like triglycerides and cholesterol, but not apolipoprotein E phenotype. This finding impacts understanding of cardiovascular risk factors.

Background:

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are key carriers of cholesterol.
LDL particle size is an emerging marker for cardiovascular disease risk.
Apolipoprotein E (apo E) plays a role in lipoprotein metabolism.
