The present study was conducted to investigate plasma apo B rich lipoprotein responses to oral fat load with reference to the kinds of fat. Eleven healthy volunteers were subjected to receive either 40g of margarine or the same amount of butter.
After margarine load, LDL-C and LDL-TG levels dropped significantly and plasma apo B, LDL-apo B levels decreased.
On the other hand, T-C and LDL-C levels in-creased, and LDL-TG/LDL-apo B levels elevated significantly after 4 and 6 hours after butter load.
Plasma TG rose higher levels and remained elevated in the subjects with relatively high apo B. But this was not confirmed after margarine load. These results suggest that, even in the acute fat load, plasma apo B rich lipoprotein can be affected differently depending upon the kinds of fat.
