Abstract Purpose of Review An abnormal lipid profile is considered a main risk factor for
cardiovascular diseases and evidence suggests that single nucleotide polymorphisms …

These review discuses the effects of ethanol on lipoprotein levels and function as related to
atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), with special emphasis on recent …

The association between moderate ethanol consumption and favorable changes in
lipoproteins and lipoprotein-related factors in atherosclerosis continues to become better …

Abstract “Quantile-dependent expressivity” is a dependence of genetic effects on whether
the phenotype (eg, triglycerides) is high or low relative to its distribution in the population …

Background Information about the interactions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
and overweight/obesity on serum lipid profiles is still scarce. The present study was …

Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin-like kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays a key role in
regulating plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. However, the …

Background: The phenotypic expression of a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) genetic risk
score has been shown to depend upon whether the phenotype (HDL-cholesterol) is high or …

Background and aims While alcohol consumption is known to increase plasma high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, its relationship with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) …

Background Little is known about the interactions of apolipoprotein (Apo) A5 gene
polymorphisms and alcohol consumption on serum lipid profiles. The present study was …

Background Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption may increase circulating high-density
