Low-Density Lipoprotein Triglycerides Associated With Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation, Adhesion Molecules, and Angiographic Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Alterations of LDL metabolism characterized by high LDL-TG are related to CAD, systemic low-grade inflammation, and vascular damage. High LDL-TGs are indicative of CE-depleted LDL, elevated IDL, and dense LDL. LDL-TG may better reflect the atherogenic potential of LDL than LDL-C.
