Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 protein (NPC1L1) plays a key role in lipoprotein metabolism. We examined the association of common genetic polymorphisms in NPC1L1 on apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 metabolism and the response to statin treatment in 37 men with central obesity. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURE: Very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-apoB kinetics were determined using...
