Triglyceride/low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is the most valuable predictor for increased small, dense LDL in type 2 diabetes patients - Lipids in Health and Disease
Source : https://lipidworld.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12944-021-01612-8
Background Small, dense low-density lipoprotein (sd-LDL) increases in type 2 diabetes patients and causes arteriosclerosis. Non-high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is thought to be useful for predicting arteriosclerosis and sd-LDL elevation; however,...
Conclusion: "The TG/LDL-C ratio is a reliable surrogate lipid marker of sd-LDL and superior to non–HDL-C in type 2 diabetes patients not treated with statins."

Conclusion: "This study demonstrated that both low and high levels of LDL-C were associated with a higher risk of diabetes diagnosis. Patients with either high or low LDL-C may need to be closely monitored for the risk of diabetes."

Bempedoic acid in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, and normoglycaemia: a post hoc analysis of efficacy and glycaemic control using pooled data from phase 3 clinical trials - PubMed

Conclusion: Bempedoic acid significantly lowered LDL-C across glycaemic strata and did not worsen glycaemic parameters nor increase incidence of new-onset diabetes vs placebo over a median follow-up of 1 year. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Relationship between adiponectin and intramuscular fat content determined by ultrasonography in older adults
Source : https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0262271
Age-associated intramuscular adipose tissue (IntraMAT) deposition induces the development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. However, the relationship between IntraMAT and biochemical parameters in older adults remains unclear. The purpose...
"These data suggest that adiponectin level is related to IntraMAT content, independent of VAT in normal-weight older adults. The dynamics of adiponectin might not be similar to those of other circulating biochemical parameters in older men and women. "

Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) and angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) have emerged as targets for inhibition by antibody, antisense, or RNAi approaches. Inhibition of either molecule lowers TRL but respectively raises or lowers HDL levels. Large clinical trials of such agents in patients with high CVD risk and elevated levels of TRL will be required to...
