Abstract P020: Triglyceride-lowering Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Variants And Improvements In Lipids And Lipoprotein Subspecies Defined By Apolipoprotein C-iii: Pounds Lost Trial

Introduction: Triglyceride-lowering variants in the lipoprotein lipase ( LPL ) gene have been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease. Lipoproteins are heterogeneous, and lipoprotein subspecies containing apolipoprotein C-III (ApoCIII) have adverse effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Hypothesis: We examined associations of triglyceride-lowering LPL gene variants with long-term improvement in lipids and lipoprotein...
