It is known that sphingomyelin (SM) content is higher in apoB-containing particles (BLp) than in high-density lipoprotein, and that BLp levels, including chylomicrons and their remnant particles, are positively related to atherosclerosis. To evaluate the relationship between serum SM and postprandial remnant particle levels, we determined SM, triglyceride (TG), and cholesterol levels in serum and in remnant-like particles (RLP) before and 3, 5, 7, and 10 hours after a high-fat meal, in 31 healthy subjects. We found that serum SM, like serum TG, was increased to its maximum 3 hours after fat loading, and then gradually decreased to basal levels after 10 hours. More important, we determined that SM and TG levels in RLP were parallel. Serum SM was positively correlated with serum TG (p<0.001), RLP SM (p<0.001), RLP TG (p<0.001), and RLP cholesterol levels (p<0.001), respectively. It is our conclusion that serum SM is a marker for the clearance of RLP.
