Association of total VLDL particle concentrations with elevated blood viscosity in patients with type 2 diabetes

Microvascular disease is an important cause of morbidity in patients with T2DM. Total VLDL concentrations is associated with increased BV, a major determinant of microvascular flow in patients with T2DM. Measurement of VLDL concentration may provide insight into lipoprotein associated microvascular complications of diabetes (c) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.
