Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: In the etiology of coronary artery disease there are many factors involved as a result of the complex interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental influences. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a very important role in lipid metabolism. It hydrolyzes the triglycerides in hylomicrones and very low density lipoproteins - VLDL. PvuII polymorphism in the LPL gene is a frequent variant and...
