Sterol Regulatory Element–Binding Protein-1 Determines Plasma Remnant Lipoproteins and Accelerates Atherosclerosis in Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor–Deficient Mice

Abstract

Hepatic SREBP-1c determines plasma triglycerides and remnant cholesterol and contributes to atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemic states. Hepatic SREBP-1c also regulates the size of nascent VLDL particles.
