Indicators of the atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype measured with density gradient ultracentrifugation predict changes in carotid intima-media thickness in men and women.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Progression of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate indicator for the early stages of atherosclerosis. METHODS: The study investigated relationships between baseline lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), and apolipoprotein (Apo) B levels assessed with density grad...
