Particle size of apoB-48 carrying lipoproteins in remnant lipoproteins isolated from postprandial plasma

Abstract

ApoB-48 carrying lipoproteins in RLP isolated from a normolipidaemic and a hyperlipidaemic subject after an oral fat load showed a similar particle size with apoB-100 carrying VLDL remnants. Therefore, the most apoB-48 carrying particles found in postprandial RLP can be classified as CM remnants. The majority of remnants in the postprandial state were not CM remnants, but VLDL remnants.
