Abstract:

The pathophysiological mechanism of vascular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) is complex,and atherosclerosis is prone to occur,leading to vascular stenosis,and eventually leading to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease,ischemic stroke and other serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,as well as diabetic foot,amputations and other serious complications. Dyslipidemia is a high risk factor for atherosclerosis. In the past,fasting lipids were used to represent the status of individual lipids. However,postprandial lipids are the dominant lipid state within 1 d and are the most true state throughout the day. Postprandial hyperlipemia is an important characteristic of abnormal lipid metabolism in diabetes mellitus and may promote atherosclerosis. This review focuses on the changes of blood lipids in T2DM patients and the relationship between postprandial blood lipids and atherosclerosis.

Key words: Postprandial lipids, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Atherosclerosis
