Polymorphisms in the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes associate with cholesterol absorption and insulin sensitivity

The roles of polymorphisms of the sitosterolemia genes ABCG5 and ABCG8 in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and insulin sensitivity were studied in mildly hypercholesterolemic noncoronary subjects (n = 263, 144 men and 119 women) divided into tertiles by baseline serum cholestanol-to-choleste...
