Abstract excerpt
Both hepatic lipase (HL) and apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) influence lipid metabolism. Common variation in promoters of both genes, LIPC -514C > T and APOC3 -482C > T, respectively, have been shown to affect plasma lipids and lipoproteins and glucose tolerance. We studied the interaction between both variants on parameters of glucose tolerance and lipid metabolism in 714 healthy young males participating in the...
