Abstract excerpt
Metabolic response to the triglyceride (TG)-lowering drug, fenofibrate, is shaped by interactions between genetic and environmental factors, yet knowledge regarding the genetic determinants of this response is primarily limited to single-gene effects. Since very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is the central carrier of fasting TG, identifying factors that affect both total TG and VLDL-TG response to fenofibrate is...
