Variation in the promoter of the human hormone sensitive lipase gene shows gender specific effects on insulin and lipid levels: results from the Ely study.

Abstract excerpt

We previously identified a hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) promoter variant, -60C>G, which in vitro exhibits 40% reduced promoter activity. In this study we examined the effect of the -60C>G on glycemic and lipid measures in the population based Ely study of metabolic function and insulin resistance in 218 middle-aged men and 276 middle-aged women. Adipose tissue HSL is the rate-limiting step in triglyceride...
