A common apolipoprotein B signal peptide polymorphism modifies the relation between plasma non-esterified fatty acids and triglyceride concentration in men.

Abstract excerpt

Insulin and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) are important regulators of triglyceride metabolism. The relations between these compounds and the effect of a common 3 amino acid deletion in the apolipoprotein B (ApoB) signal peptide (SP) following an oral glucose challenge have been investigated. The frequency of the shorter SP-24 allele was 32% (95% C.I. 29.5-36.5) in 725 subjects undergoing an oral glucose...
