Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is influenced by disturbances in lipoprotein composition and metabolism, including triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) and elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)). While interactions between Lp(a) and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) have been studied in hypertriglyceridemic and CVD populations, data in normotriglyceridemic individuals without CV events are limited. Seventy normotriglyceridemic adults with triglycerides < 150 mg/dL and no CV events were enrolled and divided into two groups based on Lp(a) concentration:
