The atherogenicity of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) is dependent of their particle size as it determines their metabolic fate. Since TRL possess a single apolipoprotein B (Apo B) molecule per particle, the triglyceride (TG)/Apo B ratio has been used as a convenient method to estimate TRL size. The aim of this study was to validate this approach by correlating the serum TG/Apo B ratio, and the TRL particle size measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Twenty-four male volunteers (12 no ...[more]
