Abstract excerpt
High hepatic lipase (HL) activity is associated with an atherogenic lipoprotein profile of small, dense LDL particles and lower HDL(2)-C. Intra-abdominal fat (IAF) is positively associated with HL activity. A hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) promoter variant (G-->A(-250)) is associated with lower HL ac...
