Abstract excerpt
Chylomicron remnant metabolism was studied using a stable isotope breath test in 25 patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) (10 homozygotes, 15 heterozygotes), and in 15 normolipidaemic controls. A lipid emulsion mimicking the composition of chylomicron remnants and labelled with cholesteryl (13)C-oleate was injected intravenously; (13)CO(2) was measured subsequently in breath using isotope-ratio mass...
