Fasting apolipoprotein B48 is associated with large artery atherosclerotic stroke: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Fasting Apolipoprotein B48 (ApoB48) is reported to be a well surrogate marker for postprandial lipidemia and have been repeatedly associated with cardiovascular disease. However, whether ApoB48 is also a risk factor for ischemic stroke have not been reported. In this study, our object is to explore the relationship between fasting plasma ApoB48 levels and the large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke.A 1:1 age-(±2), gender-matched case-control study was conducted. LAA patients and healthy controls admitted to our center were prospectively recruited. Clinical data were collected and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the fasting plasma ApoB48 levels.A cohort of 234 LAA stroke patients and 234 controls were enrolled. Fasting plasma ApoB48 levels were significantly higher in LAA stroke patients than in controls (4.76(3.46) vs 4.00(2.4), P?
