Impacto de la apolipoproteína A5 en el riesgo cardiovascular: Modulaciones genéticas y ambientales

Triglyceride concentrations are an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. Apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) has an important role determining triglyceride metabolism and it is a potential cardiovascular risk. However the mechanisms for these actions are not well-known. Despite the differen...
