In case of LPL deficiency, which of the following will increase after a fat rich diet?

A
Chylomicron
B
HDL
C
Lipoprotein (a)
D
LDL
High-Yield Explanation
Lipoprotein Lipase deficiency causes Familial Hyperchylomicronemia or Type I Hyperlipoproteinemia. This enzyme breaks the TGs of Chylomicrons into Fatty Acids and Glycerol. Chylomicrons move throughout the body in blood and they are acted upon by enzyme Lipoprotein Lipase. Hence In LPL deficiency, chylomicrons and TG will rise in plasma.
