title: Modifications in apoprotein C composition of very low density lipoproteins in type IV hyperlipoproteinemic subjects after dietetic triglyceridemia reduction.
abstract: Variations in peptide composition of apoprotein C from very low density lipoproteins were studied in 10 type IV hyperlipoproteinemics, before and after triglyceridemia normalization through appropriate diet. The subjects were sensitive to carbohydrates or alcohol : a reduction or elimination of the inducing nutrient led to a decrease in serum triacylglycerol levels, correlated with an increase in the proportion of apo CII and a decrease in the proportion of apo CIII1. Apo CIII2 was not affected. This led to an increased ratio, apo CII/apo CIII1. The percentage of variation of different lipid (triacylglycerols and cholesterol) and protein (apoproteins CII, CIII2) parameters were also studied.
