Abstract

Background: Blacks have lower average triglyceride and LDL cholesterol concentrations than do whites but higher rates of coronary heart disease. Apolipoprotein (apo) C-III in VLDL and LDL stimulates atherogenic processes in vascular cells. In blacks, the concentration of lipoproteins with apo C-III is unknown, and the response to dietary strategies that lower triglyceride and apo C-III has not been investigated
