Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hyperlipidaemia has been identified as a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy via exacerbation of glomerular injury through the activation of multiple signaling pathways. This study's aim is to assess the associations between polymorphisms of genes involved in lipid metabolism, such as apolipoprotein E (ApoE), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), acetyl-CoA carboxylase β (ACACB), and...
