Abstract
- Background: The risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) increases two- to fourfold in diabetes. Small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) particles have been linked to an increased risk for CAD. In this study, we sought to compare the sdLDL cholesterol (sdLDL-C) level between the healthy control group and diabetics with CAD in the Taiwanese population. Methods: Serum specimens were collected from healthy females and males of various age groups (n = 294), type 2 diabetics (DM) without complications (n = 113), and patients having DM with CAD (DM-CAD) (n = 46). The commercial kit was used for the measurement of sdLDL-C level, which employs a simpler method. After heparin-magnesium precipitation of lipoproteins with density
