摘要:Postprandial plasma triglyceride (ppTG) and NEFA clearance were stratified by plasma acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) and gender to determine the contribution of fasting ASP in a normal population (70 men; 71 women). In the highest ASP tertile only, ASP decreased over 8 h (90 ± 9.7 nM to 70 ± 5.9 nM, P P P r = 0.806) for men and (fasting ASP + total cholesterol; r = 0.574) for women. Leptin, body mass index, and other fasting variables did not improve the prediction. Thus, in men and women, ASP significantly predicted ppTG and NEFA clearance and, based on lower ASP, women may be more ASP sensitive than men. Plasma ASP may be useful as a fasting variable that will provide additional information regarding ppTG and NEFA clearance.
