Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein C-III (APO C-III) is a structural component of very-low-density and high-density lipoprotein particles and is an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase. In a study of genetic variation of apolipoproteins in the Mayan population of the Yucatán peninsula, we observed a quantitative polymorphism in APO C-III levels. This polymorphism is expressed as variation in immunoblot staining intensity following...
