Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The I148M (rs738409-G) variant in PNPLA3 increases liver fat content but may be protective against cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance (IR) amplifies the effect of PNPLA3-I148M on liver fat. OBJECTIVE: To study whether PNPLA3-I148M confers an antihyperlipidemic effect in insulin-resistant patients. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study comparing the impact of PNPLA3-I148M on plasma lipids and lipoproteins...
