Investigation on Postprandial Triglyceride and Remnant-Like Particle Cholesterol Levels after Low-Fat Meal Ingestion in the Japanese Population

Although low-fat meal ingestion may be the first step in the prevention and amelioration of postprandial hyperlipidemia, there is limited information on how lipid levels change after low-fat meal ingestion in the Japanese population.
