The invention relates to the use of inhibitors of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) for reducing the number of postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles (ppTRL) or for reducing their decomposition products i.e. the cholesterol-rich ‘small remnant particle’ (remnants). Said particles are associated with apolipoprotein B-48 (ApoB-48) and are designated as ‘ppTRL’ in the further course of events.
本发明涉及使用微粒体
甘油三酯转移蛋白(
MTP)
抑制剂来减少餐后富含
甘油三酯的脂蛋白颗粒(ppTRL)的数量或减少其分解产物,即富含
胆固醇的 "残余小颗粒"(remainants)。这些颗粒与
载脂蛋白 B-48(ApoB-48)有关,在后续过程中被称为 "ppTRL"。
