Fractional Esterification Rate of HDL Particles in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Relation to coronary heart disease risk factors

Abstract

Non-insulin-requiring type 2 diabetic patients have FERHDL, which correlated positively with triglycerides and negatively with HDL cholesterol. The positive correlation of FERHDL with serum insulin, WHR, total cholesterol, and apo B, but not that with BMI, loses its significance when HDL cholesterol and triglycerides are controlled. The sex difference between men and women in FERHDL also loses its significance when HDL cholesterol is controlled.
