Fibrinolytic and thrombotic factors in atherosclerosis and IHD: the influence of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TGRLP)

Atherosclerosis. 1994 Aug:108 Suppl:S31-9. doi: 10.1016/0021-9150(94)90151-1.

Abstract

TGRLP interactions with the endothelium may increase the likelihood that a suppressed fibrinolytic capacity and/or an increased procoagulant activity enhances the risk for an ischemic event, that is, for the production of a focal thrombus. The cellular mechanisms and characteristics of TGRLP in hyperlipemia and in the postprandial state that contribute to their potential pathology in IHD are considered.
