Abstract

We thank Drs Stellaard and Lütjohann for their interest in our study and for their question regarding the nature of apoB48‐containing lipoprotein particles found in the VLDL1 and VLDL2 density ranges (1). The correspondents are correct in pointing out that chylomicron remnants and apoB100‐containing VLDL of liver origin co‐exist in the VLDL1 (Sf60‐400) and VLDL2 (Sf20‐60) fractions, especially after a fat‐rich meal.
