Abstract excerpt
Hepatic lipase (HL) is a lipolytic enzyme involved in the catabolism of plasma lipoproteins, and is an important determinant of high density lipoproteins(HDL) concentration and low density lipoproteins(LDL) subclass distribution. Accordingly, HL activity may influence body's susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). Association on the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HL gene to post-heparin...
