THE TRIGLYCERIDES AND ATHEROGENESIS.
Keywords:
Triglycerides, atherosclerosis, triglyceride-rich lipoprotein, dyslipidemia, apo C-III.Abstract
Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) comprise chylomicrons, VLDL and their remnants. TRL are highly heterogeneous, differing in size, density, composition, and associated cardiovascular risk. Accumulating evidence demonstrates a strong correlationbetween the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and both non-fasting (postprandial) and fasting plasma TAG level. Two mechanisms by which TRL might increase atherosclerosis are proposed: TRL remnants and VLDL are able to penetrate the arterial intima, can be internalized by macrophages and convert these cells into foam cells. Second: during lipolysis of TRL a number of inflammatory lipids are released that alter endothelial biology. TAG are not directly atherogenic but represent an important biomarker of CVD because of their association with a high concentration of small dense LDL particles, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, and with apo C-III, a proinflammatory and proatherogenic protein.
