Abstract excerpt
The nature of the genetic and environmental factors influencing low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size in patients with familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCHL) is under debate. We measured LDL peak particle size in 553 subjects belonging to 48 Finnish FCHL families. Individuals with high triglyceride (TG) concentrations (phenotype IV) or combined hyperlipidaemia (phenotype IIB) had significantly smaller LDL...
