Effect of apoC-III gene polymorphisms on the lipoprotein-lipid profile of viscerally obese men

Abdominal visceral adipose tissue (AT) accumulation is associated with an atherogenic metabolic profile that includes increased plasma triglyceride (TG), low HDL cholesterol levels, and an insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemic state.
