Sentences 4
PubMedID- 23110373 Epidemiological studies have recently shown that hypertriglyceridemia is associated with atherosclerosis, but the independence of the serum triglycerides (tg) concentration as a causal factor in promoting cardiovascular diseases (cvd) remains debatable and to select patients at high-risk for cvd is difficult with tg alone [1-3].
PubMedID- 22129523 Since the relationship of hypertriglyceridemia with atherosclerosis is not as clear as that of hypercholesterolemia, and since type i and v hyperlipoproteinemia are relatively rare, few guidelines for their diagnosis and treatment have been established; however, type i and v hyperlipoproteinemia are clinically important as underlying disorders of acute pancreatitis, and appropriate management is necessary to prevent or treat such complications.
PubMedID- 24667131 Another possible reason for the early progression of atherosclerosis in hypertriglyceridemia may be the presence of small dense ldl.
PubMedID- 25836672 The overexpression of human apo ciii in mice, rabbits and pigs has been shown to reduce lipoprotein lipase (lpl) activity and lead to hypertriglyceridemia, which is associated with atherosclerosis (ding et al., 2011; ito et al., 1990; wei et al., 2012).
