Abstract excerpt
Decreased serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) cholesterol is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and vascular disease. In this study, we assessed the association of 10 uncoupling protein (UCP) 2 and UCP3 polymorphisms with serum HDL cholesterol levels and atherogenic indexes among 658 Korean women. Among the 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the UCP2 and UCP3 genes, 2 SNPs in UCP2, -866G>A and...
