Associations of serum transthyretin with triglyceride in non-obese elderly Japanese women independently of insulin resistance, HDL cholesterol, and adiponectin

ConclusionsFasting and nonfasting TG showed positive association with TTR in community-dwelling elderly non-obese women independently of insulin resistance, HDL cholesterol, and adiponectin. These findings may provide a clue as to a physiological function of circulating TTR in human: an influence factor of TG-rich lipoproteins in the circulation.
