Abstract excerpt
HyperapoB is the atherogenic dyslipoproteinemia characterized by increased numbers of LDL particles in plasma due to increased secretion of B100 lipoprotein particles by the liver. The lipid phenotype in affected patients is variable but an increased plasma apoB points to the increased LDL particle number. The adipocyte-hepatocyte fatty acid axis refers to the traffic in fatty acids from adipocytes to hepatocytes...
