Liver Lipids in Patients with Endogenous Hypertriglyceridemia

Abstract

Analyses of liver lipids revealed that triglyceride was increased significantly but not other lipids in patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. Oleic acid was most increased among the fatty acids of liver triglyceride. The liver triglyceride content was varied from patient to patient. No significant correlation was found between the increase in liver triglyceride and the degree of hypertriglyceridemia.
