Genetic polymorphisms of LPL and HL and their association with the performance of Chinese sturgeons fed a formulated diet

Y. He, Shen, D., Liang, X. F., Lu, R. H., and Xiao, H., Genetic polymorphisms of LPL and HL and their association with the performance of Chinese sturgeons fed a formulated diet, vol. 12. pp. 4559-4566, 2013.

It is very important to investigate the reasons for the large individual differences in individual performance of food acceptance when using formulated diets for the successful culture of larvae and juveniles of the Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis. Genetic differences of the mitochondrial control region were investigated by direct sequencing in two groups of Chinese sturgeon, which were apt to accept or refuse formulated diets. Among 968-bp sequences, 111 variable sites were identified.

Association of lipase lipoprotein polymorphisms with high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides in elderly men

L. M. Q. Araújo, Cendoroglo, M. S., Gigek, C. O., Chen, E. S., and M. Smith, deA. C., Association of lipase lipoprotein polymorphisms with high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides in elderly men, vol. 9, pp. 89-96, 2010.

Lipoprotein lipase is essential for triglyceride hydrolysis. The polymorphisms S447X in exon 9 and HindIII in intron 8 have been associated with lower triglyceride levels and lower cardiovascular risk in adult men. We examined the association of these lipoprotein lipase polymorphisms with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride levels in elderly men. Blood samples were obtained from 87 elderly men, 48 of whom had cardiovascular disease and 39 (controls) had no history of cardiovascular events. The lipoprotein lipase polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR-RFLP.
