Investigation on postprandial triglyceride and remnant-like particle cholesterol levels after low-fat meal ingestion in the Japanese population

Objective Postprandial hyperlipidemia has been considered as one of the residual risk factors for cardiovascular disease after a decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Although low-fat meal ingestion may be the first step in the prevention and amelioration of postprandial hyperlipidemia, there is limited information on how lipid levels change after low-fat meal ingestion in the Japanese population.
