Abstract excerpt
Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) catalyzes the intracellular hydrolysis of triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters, and it is involved in regulating body fat, steroidogenesis, and insulin secretion. Thus, genetic variability at the HSL locus (LIPE) may play a significant role on lipid metabolism and the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we have examined two LIPE single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)...
