Dynamic changes of lipids after fat diets in elderly people / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study dynamic response of serum lipid after fat meal in old persons with fasting TG≤1 70 mmol/L. Methods Using fat meal of 63 9 g/m 2 body surface area, TG, TC, HDL C and LDL C of both elderly and control groups in fasting status and 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after fat meal were determined. Results The TG value after fat meal was significantly higher than that in fasting status( P 0.05). Conclusions The expurgation of triglycerides is delayed in elderly people, meaning that the capacity for fat removal is decreased, and it is possibly the main cause of TG increase in the elderly.
