The relations between triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, alimentary lipaemia and coronary heart
disease (CHD) have remained obscure and much debated. We studied the basal and
postprandial plasma levels of chylomicron remnants and very low density lipoproteins
(VLDL) of varying particle size in 32 male postinfarction patients (mean (SD) age 48.8 (3.2)
years) and in 10 age-matched control men. The selective quantification of postprandial
intestinal and hepatic lipoproteins was accomplished by determining apolipoproteins B-48 …
