Conditions

Hypertriglyceridemia

Brief summary

Postprandial lipid metabolism will be evaluated in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and normo-lipidemic controls; different fats will be used (saturated fatty acids, mon-unsaturated fatty acids and medium chain fatty acids) for the oral fat challenge.
