Physical activity modulates the combined effect of a common variant of the lipoprotein lipase gene and smoking on serum triglyceride levels and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in men.

The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) HindIII polymorphism has been associated with changes in triglyceride and high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels.
