The impact of dietary fat type on lipid profiles in lean mass hyper‐responder phenotype

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Although the lean mass hyper‐responder (LMHR) phenotype is well known, its diagnosis is impeded by the influence of fat type and intake on the lipid profile. Accordingly, a detailed assessment is warranted if LMHR is suspected. Abstract A 47‐year‐old man with suspected familial hypercholesterolemia presented with elevated triglyceride and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. He had adhered to a ketogenic diet and was suspected of a lean mass hyper‐responder phenotype; however, his lipid profile did not meet the definition. His lipid profile improved through dietary management without medication.
