Abstract excerpt
The -514 polymorphism in the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) is associated with decreased hepatic lipase activity. In the present study, the interaction between body mass index (BMI), the -514 polymorphism, and hepatic lipase activity was examined in 118 white men and in 51 African American men. BMI was significantly positively correlated with hepatic lipase activity in both populations. BMI was similar in men with...
