Sex-associated effect of CETP and LPL polymorphisms on postprandial lipids in familial hypercholesterolaemia
Lipids in Health and Disease, 06/29/09

Anagnostopoulou et al. - It seems that gender and TaqIB polymorphism of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene were both associated with the distribution of triglyceride values after oral fat tolerance test, only in subjects with a pathological response to oral fat tolerance test. Specifically, men carrying the B2 allele of the TaqIB polymorphism showed a higher postprandial triglyceride peak and a delayed return to basal values compared with women carrying B2. However, further investigations in larger populations are required to replicate and confirm these findings.
