Low‐density‐lipoprotein peak particle size in a Mediterranean population

Abstract

In this population, which appears to be somewhat protected by premature coronary artery disease, a low prevalence of the LDL pattern B was found in both men and women, and plasma TG could have a key role in regulating the LDL peak particle size. The follow up, still ongoing, will provide useful information on the predictive role of LDL peak particle size on cardiovascular risk, at least in a low-risk population.
