Soluble transferrin receptor and risk of type 2 diabetes in the obese and nonobese.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recent evidence indicates that remnant lipoprotein particles (RLPs) may play a role in atherosclerosis. Remnant lipoprotein particles have been suggested to be the most atherogenic particles among the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. In particular, these triglyceride-rich particles were identified as an indep...
