    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.

    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.
