Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein lipase has an important role in lipid metabolism. Elevated levels of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are potentially atherogenic. The HindIII and S447X polymorphisms of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene are associated with cardiovascular...
