Associations of genetic variants of lysophosphatidylcholine metabolic enzymes with levels of serum lipids
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41390-021-01549-9
Metabolic disturbance of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is related with dyslipidemia. Therefore, eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected from LPC metabolic enzymes to study their associations with obesity and serum levels of...
