Abstract excerpt
Acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase-2 (ACAT2), an intracellular cholesterol esterification enzyme found only in the intestine and liver, has been demonstrated to be associated with hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in mice. To explore the possible impact of ACAT2 gene variants on CAD susceptibility and plasma lipid levels, three polymorphisms, 41A>G (Glu>Gly), 734C>T (Thr>Ile), and IVS4-57_58 ins48 bp...
