Association between -514C-->T polymorphism of the hepatic lipase gene and coronary artery disease in a Turkish population.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Decreased effects of smoking on serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) were demonstrated in subjects smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day. We aimed to evaluate the effects of non-heavy smoking (< or =20 cigarettes a day) on HDL-c in young, healthy men who are similar in terms of age, physical act...
