Body mass index and hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) polymorphism jointly influence postheparin plasma hepatic lipase activity

Body mass index and hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) polymorphism jointly influence postheparin plasma hepatic lipase activity

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...
