Abstract excerpt
Hepatic lipase (HL) is a lipolytic enzyme involved in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins, especially HDLs. Association of the polymorphisms in the promoter region of the LIPC gene to post-heparin plasma HL activity and the plasma HDL-C concentration has been investigated thoroughly, but to date little is known about this in the Chinese. In the present study, we analyzed the polymorphisms in the promoter region...
