Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hyperinsulinemia and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) are important determinants of fasting and postprandial plasma triglyceride levels. High insulin and high triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). This study aimed to find out whether common LPL gene sequence variants could change the relationship between insulin and IHD. METHODS: This investigation was a...
