Codon-54 polymorphism of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene is associated with elevation of fasting and postprandial triglyceride in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract excerpt

Patients with type 2 diabetes are frequently dyslipidemic or hypertriglyceridemic. To assess whether increased intestinal triglyceride input leads to elevated fasting and postprandial triglycerides in type 2 diabetes, we used the codon 54 polymorphism of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene, which results in the substitution of threonine (Thr) for alanine and is associated with increased intestinal input of...
