Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests that adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a critical physiological role in the cardiovascular system. The objective of this study was to assess the possible correlation between the genetic variability of the AMPKα1 (PRKAA1) gene and the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as the interactive effects of the genetic variations and environmental...
