Is the effect of polymorphism in the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene on fat metabolism associated with gender and obesity amongst non-diabetic Japanese-Americans?
These results therefore suggested that the effects of the FABP2 polymorphism on TG, LDL-C and body mass index were associated with gender difference and obesity amongst non-diabetic Japanese-American subjects.
Background Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) is a multifunctional circulating plasma serine protease involved in thrombosis and vascular remodeling processes. The Marburg I single-nucleotide polymorphism (MI-SNP) in the FSAP-coding gene is characterized by low proteolytic activity, and is associated with increased rates of stroke and carotid stenosis in humans. Objectives To determine whether neointima formation after vascular injury is increased in FSAP
