Antibody titer against malondialdehyde-modified LDL compares with HDL cholesterol concentration in identifying angiographically verified coronary artery disease. Comparison of tests by ROC analysis

Antibody titer against malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been found to be associated with atherosclerosis, but it has not been established whether it would detect subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD)...

Interleukin-6 gene promoter –174G/C polymorphism and insulin resistance: a pilot study

Background: The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the relationship between interleukin-6 promoter –174G/C (IL-6 –174G/C) polymorphism and insulin resistance (IR) in obese patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).

Methods: Twenty obese male patients with CHD were selected from a larger database of patients (n=606)...

Association between the TaqIB polymorphism in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene locus and postprandial plasma lipoprotein levels in heterozygotes for familial hypercholesterolemia

Background: We examined the influence of cholesteryl ester transfer protein TaqIB polymorphism on triglyceride (TG) response to an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) in patients heterozygous for familial hypercholesterolemia (hFH).

Methods: We genotyped 67 hFH patients (32 men and 35 postmenopausal women) who were subjected to an OFTT.

Results: All B1 allele carriers had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (p=0.013) and higher postprandial TG response at 6 and 8 h (p=0.05 and p=0.04, respectively) compared to B2 allele carriers...
