Go over to the Groups Section and click on Lipidaholics and check out the new  case discussion which illustrates some very important concepts, specifically understanding the core composition of LDL particles.

Venture over to my Lipidaholics group for another pretty deep discussion on the importance of TG-rich lipoproteins. Tragically the discussion was stimuated by a frustrated PhRMA rep trying to deal with a cardiologist who cannot justify drug therapy for elevated triglycerides. As usual I take no prisoners!
