ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter G8 Gene As a Determinant of Apolipoprotein B-100 Kinetics in Overweight Men

Abstract
Objective— We examined the influence of genetic variation of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter G8 on apolipoprotein B (apoB) kinetics in overweight/obese men. Methods and Results— Very low... This study demonstrates that subjects carrying the ABCG8 400K allele had lower production rate of VLDL–apoB and higher VLDL to LDL–apoB conversion. The production rate and fractional catabolic rate...
