Abstract
AIMS We evaluated the influence of CETP (rs5882 and rs708272), APOE (rs7412, rs429358) and LPL (rs328) gene polymorphisms on triglyceride (TG) response to oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) meal in patients with well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Fifty-one men underwent OFTT and according to postprandial TG response patients were divided into two subgroups (positive [TG ≥ 220 mg/dL, 31 patients] and negative [TG < 220 mg/dL, 20 patients]). All patients were genotyped, and study variants were detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restricted fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. RESULTS Patients with genotype SS of LPL gene compared with genotype SX had more frequently positive response to OFTT (P = .04) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration (P = .03). Patients with positive response to OFTT and genotype SS of LPL gene compared with genotype SX had lower AUC (area under the curve)-TG, 1744 (368) vs 1887 (807) mg/dL/h, respectively, P = .04. CETP and APOE gene polymorphisms had no influence on postprandial TG response to OFTT. CONCLUSIONS In patients with well-controlled T2DM, LPL but not CETP and APOE gene polymorphisms influenced TG postprandial response. Particularly, S447 allele carriers of LPL gene presented more frequently positive postprandial TG response to OFTT compared with 447X allele carriers. No differences were found between allele carriers of patients with negative response to OFTT in any other studied gene polymorphism.

Apolipoprotein E genotype has a modest impact on the postprandial plasma response to meals of varying fat composition in healthy men in a randomized controlled trial. J Nutr 2014; 144:1775-80.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apolioprotein E (APOE) genotype is reported to influence a person's fasting lipid profile and potentially the response to dietary fat manipulation. The impact of APOE genotype on the responsiveness to meals of varying fat composition is unknown. OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of meals containing 50 g of fat rich in saturated fatty acids (SFAs), unsaturated fatty acids (UNSATs), or SFAs with fish oil (SFA-FO) on postprandial lipemia. METHOD A randomized, controlled, test meal study was performed in men recruited according to the APOE genotype (n = 10 APOE3/3, n = 11 APOE3/E4). RESULTS For the serum apoE response (meal × genotype interaction P = 0.038), concentrations were on average 8% lower after the UNSAT than the SFA-FO meal in APOE4 carriers (P = 0.015) only. In the genotype groups combined, there was a delay in the time to reach maximum triacylglycerol (TG) concentration (mean ± SEM: 313 ± 25 vs. 266 ± 27 min) and higher maximum nonesterified fatty acid (0.73 ± 0.05 vs. 0.60 ± 0.03 mmol/L) and glucose (7.92 ± 0.22 vs. 7.25 ± 0.22 mmol/L) concentrations after the SFA than the UNSAT meal, respectively (P ≤ 0.05). In the Svedberg flotation rate 60-400 TG-rich lipoprotein fraction, meal × genotype interactions were observed for incremental area under the curve (IAUC) for the TG (P = 0.038) and apoE (P = 0.016) responses with a 58% lower apoE IAUC after the UNSAT than the SFA meal (P = 0.017) in the E4 carriers. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that APOE genotype had a modest impact on the postprandial response to meals of varying fat composition in normolipidemic men. The physiologic importance of greater apoE concentrations after the SFA-rich meals in APOE4 carriers may reflect an impact on TG-rich lipoprotein clearance from the circulation. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01522482.

Abstract
The interindividual variation in ApoE plasma concentration is considerable, mainly determined by apoE genotype and sex. However, a large amount of variability remains unexplained by these factors. We have evaluated whether the quantity and quality of dietary fat interacts with the apoE genotype and sex modifying ApoE plasma levels in young healthy subjects. Eighty-four volunteers (sixty-six apoE3/3, eight apoE4/3 and ten apoE3/2) were subjected to three dietary periods, each lasting 4 weeks. The first was a SFA-enriched diet (38 % fat and 20 % SFA), which was followed by a carbohydrate (CHO)-rich diet (30 % fat, < 10 % SFA and 55 % carbohydrate) or a MUFA-rich diet (38 % fat and 22 % MUFA) following a randomised crossover design. apoE2 carriers have the highest ApoE levels, whereas apoE4 individuals show the lowest concentration after the SFA, CHO and MUFA diets. Women had significantly higher ApoE concentration than men only after the consumption of the SFA diet. The SFA diet increased the ApoE plasma concentration when compared with the CHO- and MUFA-rich diets in women, but not in men. In women, but not in men, the shift from the SFA- to CHO- or MUFA-rich diets significantly decreased the ApoE concentration in apoE3/2 and apoE3/3 subjects, whereas no differences were observed in women with the apoE4/3 genotype. Sex and apoE genotype determine ApoE plasma levels; however, this effect is dependent on dietary fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in proteomics have shed light to discover serum proteins or peptides as biomarkers for tracking the progression of diabetes as well as understanding molecular mechanisms of the disease. RESULTS In this work, human serum of non-diabetic and diabetic cohorts was analyzed by proteomic approach. To analyze total 1377 high-confident serum-proteins, we developed a computing strategy called localized statistics of protein abundance distribution (LSPAD) to calculate a significant bias of a particular protein-abundance between these two cohorts. As a result, 68 proteins were found significantly over-represented in the diabetic serum (p<0.01). In addition, a pathway-associated analysis was developed to obtain the overall pathway bias associated with type 2 diabetes, from which the significant over-representation of complement system associated with type 2 diabetes was uncovered. Moreover, an up-stream activator of complement pathway, ficolin-3, was observed over-represented in the serum of type 2 diabetic patients, which was further validated with statistic significance (p = 0.012) with more clinical samples. CONCLUSIONS The developed LSPAD approach is well fit for analyzing proteomic data derived from biological complex systems such as plasma proteome. With LSPAD, we disclosed the comprehensive distribution of the proteins associated with diabetes in different abundance levels and the involvement of ficolin-related complement activation in diabetes.

Clin Biochem 2007; 40:1150-6. [PMID: 17689519 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2007.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2007] [Revised: 05/23/2007] [Accepted: 06/09/2007] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that there is a relationship between apolipoprotein E polymorphism and the severity of coronary artery disease in type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The current study specifically aimed to examine whether APOE polymorphism in association with serum lipids-lipoproteins level is a risk factor for developing coronary artery disease (CAD) in diabetic patients living in western of Iran. METHODS The APOE genotypes were detected by PCR-RFLP in 152 angiographically documented diabetic CAD patients, 262 non-diabetic (ND) individuals with CAD and 300 unrelated controls (normal coronary artery cases without diabetes) and serum lipid level was measured enzymatically. RESULTS The APOE-epsilon4 and epsilon2 allele frequencies were significantly higher in the CAD/T2DM and CAD/ND patients than in the control group (p<0.001). Our study demonstrated a significant association between APOE polymorphism and the level of plasma lipids with CAD/T2DM (p=0.001) and CAD/ND (p=0.026) patients. The CAD subjects with T2DM and ND patients carrying APOE-epsilon4 allele had lower plasma HDL-C level (p<0.001), (p=0.008) but had higher plasma LDL-C (p=0.01), total cholesterol (p=0.002), (p=0.03) and TG (p<0.001), (p=0.042) than that of the APOE-epsilon3 carriers, respectively. However, carriers of APOE-epsilon2 had significantly higher levels of plasma TG only. OR of APOE-epsilon4 and epsilon2 alleles in CAD/T2DM and CAD/ND patients were found to be 2.98 (p=0.001),1.86 (p=0.001), 2 (p=0.001), and 1.65 (p=0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The major finding of the present case-control study is that T2DM patients carrying APOE-epsilon2 and epsilon4 alleles have a higher risk of developing CAD than ND patients in the western population of Iran, with APOE-epsilon4 being more closely associated with CAD than the APOE-epsilon2 allele. These results indicated that carriers of APOE-epsilon4 allele have a distinct plasma lipids profile and carrier of this allele with low levels of HDL-C and with high levels of LDL-C may be susceptible to CAD and myocardial infarction specially in diabetic patients. This suggests that a therapeutic modality should be considered for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the small dense low-density lipoprotein (sd-LDL) is associated with hypertriglyceridemia, more than 60% of myocardial infarction (MI) patients are normotriglyceridemic in the fasting state. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) phenotype and postprandial hyperlipemia (PPL) in MI patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Oral fat tolerance tests were performed in 71 patients with acute MI and fasting triglyceride concentrations below 200 mg/dl. Postprandial changes in the LDL particle diameter (LDL-PD) and lipids over a 6-h period after a meal were compared among 4 groups of patients classified according to fasting triglyceride levels (A, B as <150, and C, D as > or =150) and postprandial triglyceride levels (A, C as <230 and B, D as > or =230). Although fasting concentrations of triglyceride and remnant-like particle (RLP)-triglyceride were significantly higher in group C than in group B, the areas under the curves of the RLPs were significantly higher in group B. The triglyceride-to-cholesterol ratio in the RLPs was significantly higher in the PPL group than in the nonPPL group postprandially. The prevalence of sd-LDL (LDL-PD < or =25.5 nm) was significantly higher in group D but similar between groups B and C (23%, 42%, 50% and 83% in groups A, B, C and D, respectively). CONCLUSION These results suggest that postprandial accumulation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins is strongly associated with sd-LDL in MI patients without hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
The recognition that the increase of plasma triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLs) is associated with multiple alterations of other lipoproteins species that are potentially atherogenic has expanded the picture of diabetic dyslipidaemia. The discovery of heterogeneity within major lipoprotein classes VLDL, LDL and HDL opened new avenues to reveal the specific pertubations of diabetic dyslipidaemia. The increase of large VLDL 1 particles in Type 2 diabetes initiates a sequence of events that generates atherogenic remnants, small dense LDL and small dense HDL particles. Together these components comprise the atherogenic lipid triad. Notably the malignant nature of diabetic dyslipidaemia is not completely shown by the lipid measures used in clinical practice. The key question is what are the mechanisms behind the increase of VLDL 1 particles in diabetic dyslipidaemia? Despite the advances of recent years, our understanding of VLDL assembly and secretion is still surprisingly incomplete. To date it is still unclear how the liver is able to regulate the amount of triglycerides incorporated into VLDL particles to produce either VLDL 1 or VLDL 2 particles. The current evidence suggests that the machinery driving VLDL assembly in the liver includes (i) low insulin signalling via PI-3 kinase pathway that enhances lipid accumulation into "nascent " VLDL particles (ii) up-regulation of SREBP-1C that stimulates de novo lipogenesis and (iii) excess availability of "polar molecules" in hepatocytes that stabilizes apo B 100. Recent data suggest that all these steps could be fundamentally altered in Type 2 diabetes explaining the overproduction of VLDL apo B as well as the ability of insulin to suppress VLDL 1 apo B production in Type 2 diabetes. Recent discoveries have established the transcription factors including PPARs, SREBP-1 and LXRs as the key regulators of lipid assembly in the liver. These observations suggest these factors as a new target to tailor more efficient drugs to treat diabetic dyslipidaemia.

Abstract
High apoCIII concentration in apoB lipoproteins is a prominent component of atherogenic dyslipidemia, and explains the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) associated with high triglyceride (TG). We hypothesized that diabetic people have atherogenic dyslipidemia with apoCIII in excess of that accounted for by their high TG levels. We selected 30 diabetic and 30 nondiabetic persons, 15 of each with fasting TG<160 mg/dl and 15 with TG>/=200 mg/dl. Using immunoaffinity chromatography and ultracentrifugation, we prepared large and small VLDL, IDL and LDL with or without apoCIII or apoE. The groups with TG>/=200 mg/dl, regardless of diabetes status, had higher concentrations of large and small VLDL particles with apoCIII and higher apoCIII concentrations than the groups with fasting TG<160 mg/dl. The diabetes groups did not have higher concentrations of these lipoproteins than the nondiabetes groups within the same fasting TG criteria. In conclusion, high concentrations of apoCIII-containing VLDL are associated with hypertriglyceridemia, which may play a critical role in identifying the high risk of CHD in hypertriglyceridemic patients whether diabetic or nondiabetic. Diabetes status per se does not appear to be associated with high concentrations of apoCIII-containing TG-rich lipoprotein particles, if the plasma TG levels are similar.

Abstract
Remnant lipoproteins (RLPs) accumulate in type III hyperlipoproteinemia, a condition associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity. The effect of RLPs on fibrinolysis is unknown. Our aim was to study the effect of RLPs on endothelial expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). After 24-h culture of human aortic endothelial cells with RLPs at concentrations of 0 (control), 0.038, or 0.076 mg triglyceride/mL, postculture PAI-1 antigen concentrations were: 870 +/- 80, 1963 +/- 183 (P = 0.005), and 3551 +/- 177 ng/mL (P < 0.001), respectively. Furthermore, after 24-h incubation of endothelial cells with RLPs (0 or 0.076 mg triglyceride/mL), PAI-1 activity increased from 0.667 +/- 0.144 to 1.268 +/- 0.198 U/mL, respectively (P = 0.008) and endothelial PAI-1 mRNA increased to 2.7 +/- 0.66 that of control (P = 0.048). In conclusion, RLPs from patients with type III hyperlipoproteinemia induce endothelial cell PAI-1 expression, which may contribute to a prothrombotic state.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the major cause of death in patients with diabetes. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) being the most important cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein has been studied extensively in both diabetes and non-diabetes. This paper reviews the literature but also focuses on the precursors of LDL and in particular the postprandial apo B-containing lipoproteins. Abnormalities in the postprandial lipoproteins and alteration in chylomicron assembly and clearance are discussed and the evidence presented suggesting the importance of dysregulation of these lipoproteins in atherosclerotic progression. The relationship between chylomicron production in the intestine and hepatic release of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) is explored, as is the interrelationship between clearance rates of these lipoproteins. The size of LDL influences its atherogenicity. VLDL composition and size in relation to its influence on LDL is discussed. The effect of diet on the composition of lipoproteins and the relationship between fatty acid composition and clearance is reviewed. Evidence that diabetic control beneficially alters lipoprotein composition is presented suggesting how improved diabetic control may reduce atherosclerosis. The review concludes with a discussion on the effect of the apo B-containing lipoproteins and their modification through glycation and oxidation on macrophage and endothelial function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma triglyceride concentration has been an inconsistent independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, perhaps because of the metabolic heterogeneity among VLDL particles, the main carriers of triglycerides in plasma. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a prospective, nested case-control study in the Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE) trial, a randomized placebo-controlled trial of pravastatin in 4159 patients with myocardial infarction and average LDL concentrations at baseline (115 to 174 mg/dL, mean 139 mg/dL). Baseline concentrations of VLDL-apolipoprotein (apo) B (the VLDL particle concentration), VLDL lipids, and apoCIII and apoE in VLDL+LDL and in HDL were compared in patients who had either a myocardial infarction or coronary death (cases, n=418) with those in patients who did not have a cardiovascular event (control subjects, n=370) in 5 years of follow-up. VLDL-cholesterol, VLDL-triglyceride, VLDL-apoB, apoCIII and apoE in VLDL+LDL and apoE in HDL were all interrelated, and each was a univariate predictor of subsequent coronary events. The significant independent predictors were VLDL-apoB (relative risk [RR] 3.2 for highest to lowest quintiles, P:=0.04), apoCIII in VLDL+LDL (RR 2.3, P:=0.04), and apoE in HDL (RR 1.8, P:=0.02). Plasma triglycerides, a univariate predictor of coronary events (RR 1.6, P:=0.03), was not related to coronary events (RR 1.3, P:=0.6) when apoCIII in VLDL+LDL was included in the model, whereas apoCIII remained significant. Adjustment for LDL- and HDL-cholesterol did not affect these results. CONCLUSIONS The plasma concentrations of VLDL particles and apoCIII in VLDL and LDL are more specific measures of coronary heart disease risk than plasma triglycerides perhaps because their known metabolic properties link them more closely to atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The aim of the present cross-sectional angiographic study was to examine if there is a relationship between the severity of CAD and postprandial lipemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Special emphasis was directed to determining the contribution of apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48)-containing and B-100 (apoB-100)-containing triglyceride-rich particles to the magnitude of postprandial lipemia and degree of CAD. The role of apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotype as a modulator of postprandial lipemia was also evaluated. The severity of CAD was determined by a quantitative coronary angiography and the subjects were classified into two groups based on the presence (severe CAD) or absence (mild CAD) of at least 50% stenosis in a major coronary vessel. The study population consisted of 43 subjects (31 men and 12 women) with fair glycemic control and comparable fasting lipids and body mass index. Postprandial responses of TG, apoB-48 and apoB-100 in lipoprotein subfractions (chylomicrons, VLDL1, VLDL2 and IDL) were determined after a fat load. Type 2 diabetic patients exhibited the classical dyslipidemia of the insulin resistance syndrome and delayed clearance of both hepatic and intestinal particles. Fasting or postprandial lipid or lipoprotein measurements, including apoB-48 and apoB-100 concentrations, did not differ between the groups. The presence or absence of apoE-4 allele did not significantly influence postprandial lipemia. The severity of the most significant coronary stenosis in angiography correlated with plasma and with chylomicron area under curve (AUC) for TG (n=27) and chylomicron AUC for apoB-48 (n=20). The strongest correlate of maximal stenosis was area under incremental curve (AUIC) for apoB-100 in IDL fraction (r=0.548, P=0. 012, n=20). In conclusion, postprandial apoB-48 and apoB-100 metabolism in triglyceride rich lipoproteins is distorted in type 2 diabetic patients, even in those with only mild CAD. The data suggest that postprandial change in small remnant particle numbers may contribute to the severity of CAD in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Recent observations that remnants of triglyceride rich lipoproteins become trapped within the subendothelial of arterial vessels gives rise to the possibility that these particles could initiate the atherogenic cascade. Increased frequency and progression of atherosclerosis in diabetes might in part be a consequence of raised concentrations in plasma of remnant lipoproteins. In addition, diabetes may lead to changes in the arterial vasculature which exacerbate arterial retention of pro-atherogenic lipoproteins. To explore these possibilities, in this study we determined aortic retention of chylomicron remnants, which are of intestinal origin, and of hepatically derived low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in insulin deficient rabbits and rats. The two species were selected because of their disparate susceptibility to develop atherosclerosis in the presence of diabetes induced hyperlipidemia. Chylomicron remnants and LDL were differentially radiolabelled with a residual marker and injected simultaneously into conscious rabbits or rats. Arterial retention was determined 2 h after injection, and relative retention was expressed as a percentage of mean arterial exposure. We found in insulin deficient rabbits and rats that intimal and medial retention of chylomicron remnants was positively related to the degree of hyperglycemia and was significantly greater than in non-diabetic control groups. In contrast, insulin deficiency did not influence arterial retention of LDL. Rabbits which are susceptible to diabetes induced atherogenesis had significantly greater intimal retention of chylomicron remnants compared to rats. Results from this study support the hypothesis that chronic hyperglycemia promotes arterial retention of triglyceride rich remnant lipoproteins and that atherosclerotic susceptibility might be related to degree of remnant entrapment within the subendothelial space. Greater retention of remnant lipoproteins could in part explain the increased prevalence of atherogenesis in diabetes.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of fat- plus sucrose-rich meals on endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation in diabetic patients. Flow-mediated vasodilation in the postprandial state decreased significantly, and the decrease correlated inversely with the magnitude of postprandial hyperglycemia, suggesting that endothelial function in diabetic patients becomes impaired postprandially.

Abstract
Postprandial lipemia is an inherent feature of diabetic dyslipidemia and highly prevalent in diabetic patients even with normal fasting triglyceride concentrations. Postprandial lipemia is characterized by long residence time of chylomicron and VLDL remnants in the circulation. Insulin resistance causes increased flux of free fatty acids, and thus enhanced VLDL apolipoprotein B (apo B) synthesis in the liver. Together with chylomicron and VLDL remnant competition for the common removal mechanisms the increased substrate input results in exaggerated and prolonged postprandial lipemia. Studies using both apo B-48 and retinyl esters as a marker for intestinally derived particles have shown that increased postprandial lipemia does not predict the presence or absence of coronary artery disease between non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) subjects. Recent data have shown that postprandial triglyceride-rich remnants are atherogenic, and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia contributes to the metabolic disturbances transforming LDL and HDL subclasses into more atherogenic direction in diabetic subjects.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus have a higher rate of mortality than the general population. This higher mortality may be attributed mainly to cardiovascular disease. A high prevalence of dyslipidemia in diabetics can be one of the reasons for this. The most commonly recognized lipid abnormality in non-insulin-dependent diabetics (NIDDM) is hypertriglyceridemia, which is known to be an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease in diabetics. Hypertriglyceridemia can be produced by two mechanisms, increased synthesis of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride and removal defect of plasma triglyceride. It has been a matter of debate whether insulin always stimulates hepatic VLDL secretion but it is generally accepted that insulin deficiency results in an impairment of plasma triglyceride clearance. Considerable attention has recently been focused on the atherogenecity of postprandial hyperlipidemia, remnant lipoproteins, small, dense LDL, lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and isolated hypo-alphalipoproteinemia in NIDDM subjects. Several reports suggested that these atherogenic lipoprotein abnormalities are present in NIDDMs even if they are apparently normolipidemic. Association of visceral fat obesity, insulin resistance and nephropathy may aggravate the atherogenic lipoprotein profile. Therefore, we propose here that plasma lipid levels of diabetic subjects must be more strictly controlled than for the non-diabetic population in order to avoid an increased risk for coronary heart disease. If they are obese or associated with insulin resistance or nephropathy, these conditions should be carefully controlled.

Abstract
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is associated with postprandial lipoprotein clearance defects that are correlated with the fasting hypertriglyceridemia widely observed in NIDDM patients. The aim of this study was to determine if such postprandial disturbances are found in NIDDM patients strictly normotriglyceridemic in the fasting state, and if the apolipoprotein E (apo E) polymorphism influences postprandial metabolism of intestinally derived lipoproteins. The vitamin A-fat loading test was used in 18 normotriglyceridemic NIDDM patients and seven normotriglyceridemic obese controls, and postprandial triglyceride (TG) and retinyl palmitate (RP) concentrations were evaluated in total plasma, and in the chylomicron (Sf > 1,000) and nonchylomicron (Sf < 1,000) fractions isolated by ultracentrifugation. NIDDM patients exhibited an amplified response of both TG and RP as compared with obese controls in the three fractions. Incremental TG response to the oral fat load was strongly correlated with fasting TG level (r = .80, P < .0001) in the whole study population. Postprandial lipoprotein profiles were distinguished in NIDDM patients according to apo E phenotype: despite normal fasting TG levels in E3/3 (n = 6), E2/3 (n = 6), and E3/4 (n = 6), postprandial RP response was twofold to threefold higher in E2/3 and E3/4 patients than in the common E3/3 phenotype. Contrasting lower postprandial TG increment and lower fasting and postprandial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and HDL3 cholesterol levels were observed in E3/4 versus E3/3 patients, possibly reflecting modifications in lipid content of the postprandial lipoproteins driven by a differential lipid transfer activity depending on apo E isoform. These data indicate an enhanced postprandial lipemia in normotriglyceridemic NIDDM patients, and demonstrate the influence of apo E polymorphism on their lipoprotein clearance. Postprandial alterations of lipoprotein remnants may thus accelerate atherogenesis even in normotriglyceridemic NIDDM patients.
