Assessment of the Role of the Growth Hormone (GH) Onthe Intestinal Triglyceride-rich-lipoproteins (TRL) Metabolism

November 16, 2015 updated by: Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCD) is the first cause of morbidity and mortality in insulin resistant states. The typical dyslipidemia that is associated with insulin resistance, which includes a postprandial increase of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) with excess of intestinal triglyceride-rich-lipoprotein-apoB-48 (TRL-apoB-48), is felt to play an important role in the accelerated ASCD. Recently, intestinal TRL-apoB-48 overproduction appeared as a newly recognized component of insulin resistance. There is only a limited amount of information in the literature regarding the factors and the mechanisms modulating the metabolism of intestinal TRL-apoB-48 in the setting of insulin resistance
