Relationships between triglycerides, lipoproteins, glucose and coronary artery disease

Implications of reverse cholesterol transport: Recent studies

“…Most studies have shown that HDLC is statistically a more powerful predictor of ASCVD than triglyceride and that HDLC but not triglyceride is an independent predictor of ASCVD [79]. However, some recent evidence indicates that triglyceride might play a larger role than previously thought.…”

Opinion: Oxidized Lipoproteins, Inflammation, and Acute Phase Reactants as Markers for Coronary Artery Disease. Oxidierte Lipoproteine, Entzündung und Akute Phase-Reaktanden als Marker für Koronararterienerkrankung: Persönlicher Standpunkt

“…Although low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been most thoroughly investigated, studies have shown that like oxidized LDL, oxidized intermediate density lipoprotein (1DL) leads to increased cholesterol uptake by macro-, phages [12] and to endothelial vasoraotor dysfunction [13]. Thus, it is increasingly clear that triglyceride rich proteins, especially DDL and" other -very low density lipoprotein remnants are also atherogenic [14,15].…”
