...A. Alipour; J.W.F. Elte; H.C.T. van Zaanen; A.P. Rietveld; M. Castro Cabezas Postprandial hyperlipidaemia is a common metabolic disturbance in atherosclerosis. During the postprandial phase, chylomicrons and their remnants can penetrate the intact endothelium and cause foam cell formation...

... in CMs (chylomicrons), which can be taken up by macrophages without need of further oxidation, leading to the formation of foam cells and initiating or aggravating the atherogenic process. Evidence from different studies has shown that dietary fat can influence the composition and size of TRLs...

... of dietary fatty acids on the synthesis, secretion and metabolism of chylomicrons, the large triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins synthesized in the enterocyte following the digestion and absorption of dietary fat. This brief review considers current approaches to the investigation of chylomicron synthesis...

.... The genesis of large triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins is examined and, in particular, the formation of the intestinally derived chylomicron particle is discussed in some depth with reference to microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein and apolipoprotein B48, the structural protein for the intestinally...
