Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a key role in lipid metabolism by hydrolyzing triglycerides in circulating lipoproteins. Low LPL activity has been linked to coronary artery disease (CAD), but the factors influencing LPL expression are not completely understood. Peroxisome proliferator--activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma is a nuclear receptor regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, and a PPAR-responsive element is...
