Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an important enzyme for the hydrolysis of TG on lipoproteins, and its activity is positively correlated with the plasma levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). To investigate the association between the LPL gene and low HDL-C levels, we studied two polymorphisms (Hind III and Pvu II) and three mutations (Asn291Ser, Gly188Glu and LPL(Arita)) of the LPL gene in 114...
