Abstract excerpt
Growing evidence suggests an association between lipid abnormalities and fatty acid binding protein (FABP) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) gene variants. Our objectives were to determine whether Ala54Thr FABP2 and G-493T MTP polymorphisms are associated with increased risks of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) in youth and/or modify the expression of accompanying dyslipidemia. Our study of...
