| Abstract | Arteriosclerosis is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, and it begins in childhood. Abnormalities in serum lipid metabolism are associated with the development of arteriosclerosis, and high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are arteriosclerosis risk factors. Serum triglyceride (TG) levels are reflected in the metabolism of subcutaneous and visceral fat, and a high TG level is also a risk factor. Very lowdensity lipoproteins (VLDL) synthesized in the liver and chylomicrons formed as a result of dietary fat absorption are the main reservoirs of serum TG. Serum lipid levels are affected by genetic factors; lifestyle factors such as dietary fat intake, physical activity, and smoking; as well as factors associated with diabetes, renal disease, and fatty liver. Although these diseases generally affect 〈Original Article〉 |
