Metabolic abnormalities of apolipoprotein B‐containing lipoproteins in non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes: a stable isotope kinetic study

Abstract

NIDDM is associated with multiple apoB metabolism abnormalities that are potentially atherogenic. In addition to the increased number of circulating VLDL and IDL particles, the increased residence time observed on all apoB-containing lipoproteins may promote the development of atherosclerotic lesions, by potentiating their oxidizability.
