BACKGROUND. Variants of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene have been shown to influence
serum lipid levels, risk of coronary heart disease and, as found recently, risk of clinical …

Background and Purpose—Lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities have been implicated in the
pathogenesis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein lipase …

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies suggested lipoprotein lipase (LPL) Ser447Ter and
Asn291Ser polymorphisms were associated with the risk of ischemic heart disease …

Background Several studies have studied the relationship between lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
Hind III gene polymorphism and stroke susceptibility. However, the conclusions remain …

Ischaemic stroke is pathogenetically heterogeneous, but there is strong evidence that
genetic as well as environment factors contribute to the risk of the individual. Here we report …

BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which plays an essential role in plasma
lipoprotein metabolism and transportation, appears to be a risk factor for ischemic vascular …

Background: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) polymorphisms were suggested to be the risk factor
for ischemic stroke (IS). However, controversial results were obtained. Our objective was to …

Background: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays an important role in plasma lipoprotein
metabolism. The Ser447Ter mutation of LPL may be associated with ischemic …

Objective (s): Stroke is the most common neurological disorder and genetic susceptibility
has an important role in its etiology. Polymorphism in several genes such as lipoprotein …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays an important role in lipid metabolism by hydrolyzing
triglycerides in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. An increasing number of …
