Postprandial VLDL-TG metabolism in type 2 diabetes

Despite greater postprandial VLDL-TG concentration, men with type 2 diabetes have similar postprandial suppression of VLDL-TG secretion and a similar ability to store VLDL-TG in adipose tissue compared to non-diabetic men. This may indicate that abnormalities in postprandial VLDL-TG metabolism are a consequence of obesity/insulin resistance more than a result of type 2 diabetes per se.
