Effect of alirocumab on VLDL-TG fractional clearance rates (A) and production rates (B). FCR of VLDL-TG (mean±SE) was determined by stable isotopic enrichment of glycerol in each sample of isolated VLDL over 48 hours. VLDL-TG PR (mean±SE) was calculated using the FCR and the plasma pool size of TG in VLDL. Alirocumab treatment did not affect either the FCR or the PR of VLDL-TG compared with placebo. FCR indicates fractional clearance rate; PR, production rate; TG, triglycerides; and VLDL, very low-density lipoprotein.
