ContextPrevious reviews of associations of apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype and coronary
disease have been dominated by smaller studies that are liable to biases. ObjectiveTo …

Hepatic lipase (HL) is a lipolytic enzyme that contributes to the regulation of plasma
triglyceride (TG) levels. Elevated TG levels may increase the risk of developing coronary …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipoprotein metabolism and a major candidate
gene for coronary heart disease (CHD). The authors assessed associations between 7 LPL …

Hyperlipidemia is one of the common pathological conditions of human, which occurs due to
lipid metabolism disorder in the human body, resulting in serum lipid concentration beyond …

Background The associations of the apolipoprotein B gene (APOB) rs693 and rs17240441
polymorphisms with plasma levels of APOB and lipids have been widely explored, but the …

Plasma concentrations of lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins (apo) are established risk
factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The knowledge of lipid profile may predict the …

Tangier disease is a rare disorder of lipoprotein metabolism that presents with extremely low
levels of HDL cholesterol and apoprotein AI. It is caused by mutations in the ATP-binding …

Many studies have shown that the prevalence and onset of coronary heart disease (CHD) is
sex-dependent. CHD prevalence is lower in women than in men at all ages. Furthermore …
