Introduction: Previously, we demonstrated that HDL is only inversely associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes when it lacks the pro-inflammatory protein apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III). To provide further insight into the cardiometabolic properties of HDL subspecies defined by the presence or absence of apoC-III, we examined these subspecies in relation to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a highly prevalent condition closely associated with the metabolic syndrome. Methods: We investigated cross-sectional associations between baseline (2000 – 2002) plasma levels of apoC-III-based HDL subspeci…
