Intermediate-Density Lipoproteins and Progression of Carotid Arterial Wall Intima-Media Thickness

Abstract

These data provide further evidence for the role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in the progression of atherosclerosis and support the evidence that indicates that the risk of atherosclerosis attributable to LDL-C may in part be the result of lipoproteins in the IDL fraction (Sf 12 to 20) that is included within the traditional measurements of LDL-C.
