Example Sentences
- "Our previous studies showed that hypertriacylglycerolemic very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) are functionally abnormal. Hypertriacylglycerolemic VLDL, but not normal VLDL, suppress 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase in fibroblasts cultured from normal human subjects."
- "In addition, marine-derived n-3 PUFA did not result in significantly decreased formation of plasma PGE 2 in mildly hypertriacylglycerolemic subjects."
- "After the consumption of high-fat meals, the neuroendocrine mechanism, responsible for the clearance of TRLs, cannot cope with the heavy hypertriacylglycerolemic load, and an appreciable amount of TRLs remain in the circulation, serving as a substrate for several lipases, the action of which yields free fatty acids, lyso-phospholipids, and TRL remnants."
Etymology
From hypertriacylglycerolemia + -ic.
