LDL particle size in familial combined hyperlipidemia: effects of serum lipids, lipoprotein-modifying enzymes, and lipid transfer proteins

Small, dense LDL particles are typical for FCHL. Intravascular lipid exchange and net transfer among HDL, LDL, and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins as well as lipolysis in the VLDL-IDL-LDL cascade regulate properties of LDL. We investigated postheparin plasma activities of hepatic lipase (HL) and LPL,...
