| Research Abstract |
We studied the clinical significance of remnant lipoprotein cholesterol (RemL-C) determination in metabolic syndrome. The subjects investigated were healthy individuals who underwent medical examinations. Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery determined by B-mode ultrasonography was evaluated as an atherosclerosis marker. Measurement of RemL-C is efficient for the prediction of carotid atherosclerosis. Furthermore, we measured serum lipids and RemL-C in 430 schoolchildren. While 6 children had a high LDL cholesterol level, we found only 2 children with hypertriglyceridemia and one with a high level of RemL-C.
