Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), V279F, in the lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) gene is known to influence enzyme activity. It is unclear whether Lp-PLA(2) exerts pro- or antiatherogenic effects in humans. We investigated the interplay between V279F, Lp-PLA(2) activity, oxidative stress and inflammation. METHODS: We genotyped 2914 healthy Koreans (43-79years) for the...
