Dietary fructose and dyslipidemia: new mechanisms involving apolipoprotein CIII

Purpose of review Chronic consumption of fructose and fructose-containing sugars leads to dyslipidemia. Apolipoprotein (apo) CIII is strongly associated with elevated levels of triglycerides and cardiovascular disease risk. We reviewed the effects of fructose consumption on apoCIII levels and the role of apoCIII in fructose-induced dyslipidemia. Recent findings Consumption of fructose increases circulating apoCIII levels compared with glucose....
