The –514 polymorphism in the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) does not influence androgen-mediated stimulation of hepatic lipase activity

The –514T allele of hepatic lipase is associated with increased high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels in men, but not in women. This observation suggests that the –514C to T polymorphism may diminish the response of hepatic lipase to androgens. To test this hypothesis, five –514T and five –514...
