[Lipids and lipoproteins in atherosclerotic arteriopathy of the legs. Unusual study of very low density lipoproteins]
Abstract
Lipids, apolipoproteins A1 and B and lipoproteins were studied in 49 patients with peripheral arterial disease and in 26 control patients. The observed hypertriglyceridemia was related to the elevation of the VLDL lipid mass; no alteration in their structure could be shown. The origin of this VLDL excess was discussed especially the role of tobacco and genetic.
