Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Cytokine polymorphisms and dietary fat composition may influence the risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA), TNF-alpha, and IL-6 gene polymorphisms with MetS risk and investigate whether plasma fatty acid composition, a biomarker of dietary fat intake, modulated these associations. DESIGN:...
