Conclusions: We conclude that in patients on chronic hemodialysis, hypertriglyceridemia and triglyceride enrichment of LDL and HDL particles are associated with increased resistance of LDL to in vitro oxidation despite the fact that each dialysis session acutely increases LDL oxidizability. Vitamin E supplementation improves LDL resistance to oxidation without modifying circulating lipid levels and partitioning.
