Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a multifactorial condition implicated in the pathogenesis of CHD. Serum triglyceride (TG) levels were routinely obtained under fasting conditions; however, recent evidences implicate that postprandial triglyceride levels may be more important for CHD risk. Aim: Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rosuvastatin on fasting and postprandial TG levels in the patients with borderline-high TG levels.Methods: 51 patients (18-75 years old; 26 female) with LDL-c between 100 and 160 mg/dL and triglyceride levels between 150 and 300 mg/dL were included in this study. Basal fasting and postprandial lipid profile and hsCRP levels of the patients were obtained and patients were requested to take 10 mg/day rosuvastatin for one month. At the end of one month, the measurements were repeated.Results: Rosuvastatin significantly decreased both fasting and postprandial TG levels compared to basal levels (p KW - Coronary heart disease KW - Hypertriglyceridemia KW - Rosuvastatin KW - Triglycerides CR - Referans1 Han SH, Nicholls SJ, Sakuma I, Zhao D, Koh KK.
