APOC3 and type 1 diabetes mellitus: Apolipoprotein C3 (ApoC3), hepatic lipase (HL), endothelial lipase (EL), and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity were measured by immunoturbidimetric, ELISA and functional assays.<h4>Results</h4>Despite adequate glycemic control (mean HbA1c 7.6% [60 mmol/mol]) and near-normal lipid levels, individuals with type 1 diabetes had significantly higher sdLDL-C (0.56 ± 0.28 mmol/L vs 0.43 ± 0.26 mmol/L), increased sdLDL-C/LDL-cholesterol ratio (0.20 ± 0.08 vs 0.12 ± 0.06) and smaller LDL particle size (26.32 ± 1.08 nm vs 26.81 ± 0.68 nm) compared with controls.
