A follow up study of fatty liver, lipoprotein particle sizes, and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in middle aged men.

本研究附于300名男性的基于人群的调查及其7年后的随访调查。我们通过两次调查的NMR（核磁共振）研究了肝脏中脂肪沉积和脂质谱变化之间的关系。结果，随访调查的肝脏中脂肪沉积的进展与基线/随访调查的LDL颗粒尺寸的小和随访调查的LDL颗粒密度的大有关。通过这项研究，阐明了肝脏中脂肪沉积的进展与脂质谱随时间变化之间的关系。

This study was attached to a population-based survey of 300 men and its follow up survey after 7 years. We examined the relationship between fat deposition in liver and lipid profile changes by NMR(nuclear magnetic resonance) of both surveys. As a result, progress of the fat deposition in liver of the follow-up survey was related to the smallness of the LDL particle sizes of the baseline/follow up surveys and the greatness of the LDL particle densities at the follow up survey. By this study, the relationships between the progress of the fat deposition in liver and the lipid profile changes over time were clarified.
