Conclusions•Currently, we just monitor lipid classes (total cholesterol, totaltriglycerides) as well as HDL and LDL cholesterol. The focus is on“quantity” rather than “molecular composition”.
Conclusions
•Currently, we just monitor lipid classes (total cholesterol, totaltriglycerides) as well as HDL and LDL cholesterol. The focus is on“quantity” rather than “molecular composition”.
•The strong associations of certain triglyceride species and VLDL-associated apolipoproteins with incident CVD in the generalcommunity provide support to the concept of targeting triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to further reduce risk of CVD in the statin era.

•Circulating levels of liver-derived miRNA-122 positively correlate toVLDL-associated apolipoproteins and are a strong predictor ofmetabolic syndrome.
