Determination of lipoprotein particle size and number using advanced lipoprotein tests (ALTs)
is of particular importance to improve cardiovascular risk prediction. Here we present the …

Mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) mainly in the intestine were obtained
in an apolipoprotein E–deficient (apoE 0 ) background (apoA-IV/E 0 mice). Quantification of …

It has been suggested that the short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by anaerobic
bacterial intestinal fermentation of soluble fiber may regulate lipid metabolism in intestine, thus …

While the impact of very low concentrations of low–density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
