Abstract excerpt
The effects of ciprofibrate (100 mg/d) on apolipoprotein (apo)B- and apoAI-containing lipoprotein subclasses, cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer protein activity, and plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux were evaluated in 10 patients displaying type IIB hyperlipidemia. Plasma concentrations of large very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-1 (Sf 60-400) and of small VLDL-2 (Sf 20-60)...
