Abstract excerpt
The newly recognised apolipoprotein (apo) AV gene (APOAV) has been linked to fasting plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations with some polymorphisms associated with elevated fasting TGs. Since fasting plasma TGs are mainly determined by the hepatic production of TG-rich particles (very low density lipoprotein; VLDL), and fasting TGs are the major determinants of postprandial lipaemia, we have evaluated the...
