Is microsomal triglyceride transfer protein 493-T variant associated with resistin levels and C-reactive protein?
This study supports the notion that the rare MTP-493T/T genotype is associated both with higher levels of inflammatory parameters and with low levels of LDL-cholesterol. Prospective data are needed to investigate if the association between CVD and the MTP-493T/T genotype might be due to the increased sub-clinical proinflammatory state associated with this mutation.
This study found a high prevalence of psychiatric disorders and insomnia in a general hospital population and found that insomnia can be a marker for MDE.
