Lipoprotein Subfractions and Glucose Homeostasis in Prediabetes and Diabetes in Taiwan.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that prediabetic subjects were more likely to have significantly elevated RLP-C, sdLDL-C, and LDL-TG, while diabetic subjects were more likely to have significantly decreased HDL-C, HDL2-C, HDL3-C, and apoE HDL-C than normal subjects, and calculated LDL-C significantly underestimated their direct LDL-C. In our view, direct LDL-C and sdLDL-C should be measured and optimized in both diabetic and prediabetic subjects to reduce CVD risk. PMID: 30726792 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
