Abstract excerpt
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common lipid disorder characterized by an increase in cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels in multiple individuals of the same family. Prior reports document a decreased activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in FCHL, and studies of the role of LPL in the remodeling of nascent lipoproteins suggest that disturbances in LPL function could underlie FCHL. We studied the...
