The dyslipidemic pattern characteristic of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome: elevated triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, low HDL cholesterol, and small dense LDL particles, studied as a mediator of atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk. Not for LDL cholesterol as an isolated exposure or for lipid-lowering drug treatment.

The cardiovascular risk associated with insulin resistance is largely mediated through atherogenic dyslipidemia and blood pressure

The association between insulin resistance and cardiovascular events attenuates substantially after adjusting for lipids and blood pressure

Atherogenic dyslipidemia mediates a large share of the association between insulin resistance and cardiovascular events
