Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We review stable isotope tracer studies of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB) kinetics concerning genetic polymorphisms and mutations that affect human lipoprotein metabolism. RECENT FINDINGS: In obese men, the allelic combination of the apoB signal peptide, SP24, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein, CETP B1B1, is independently associated with lower VLDL apoB secretion. Microsomal triglyceride...
