The present study demonstrated that fasting TRL-related values of TG, RemL-C, RLP-C, RLP-TG, and TG/apoB were useful tools for predicting postprandial hyperlipidemia and that fasting adiponectin concentrations correlated with the fasting values of these lipids and parameters in young healthy individuals, although adiponectin was not a significant predictor in multivariable linear regression analysis. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and hyperlipidemia.
