| Research Abstract |
Dyslipidemia has been considered as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). LDL-centric treatment has failed to reduce CVD, thus highlighting other atherogenic lipoproteins. Among those, small dense LDL (sdLDL) is associated with postprandial lipemia. However, exact metabolism and treatment strategy of sdLDL is yet to be established. In the present study, we performed in vivo metabolic study using stable isotopically-labeled amino acid and found that rate of catabolism was 34% lower in sdLDL and this delayed catabolism was normalized by statin treatment.
