Abstract excerpt
Hepatic lipase (HL) is a lipolytic enzyme that contributes to the regulation of plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. Elevated TG levels may increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease, and studies suggest that mutations in the HL gene may be associated with elevated TG levels and increased risk of coronary heart disease. Hepatic lipase facilitates the clearance of TG from the very low density lipoprotein...
